"He wanted nothing to do with John Bolton," Trump says of Kim Jong Un, as part of a long explanation of his ouster.

He is clearly superior to either Bolton or Pompeo in ability. He has become far more cautious in his speech since the debacle engineered at Hanoi. His speech at UM September 6 was not especially promising in terms of negotiating progress, but he's been on a short leash and unable to proceed at the working group level because of restraints imposed by Trump, Pompeo and Bolton. If he were given a senior position in the administration he might show some leadership especially with respect to North Korea.
