Will Trump force him to shave before he gives him the role?

If this happens I never want to see people referring to Trump as a paleocon again (it's already been a laughable assertion for awhile).

I don’t think he’ll launch a war. Trump doesn’t have to finish his dads war and he’s more the kind of guy that wants to win at the table rather than the battlefield. We’ll see how he does with Fat Kim in a few months

A thread about John Bolton having an official position in the administration is the absolute worst place to say "I don't think Trump will start a war".

Naw. I thought that briefly when Rex was appointed, but if anything, Trump has been purging the neocons - McMasters is dangling, Dina Powell is gone, as is Tillerson. That was a superb Ron Paul reference though. I remember the "neo-conned" speech fondly.

I'm visualizing James Caan (as Sonny Corleone) belittling Robert Duvall (Tom Hagen) in The Godfather screaming "I NEED A WARTIME CONSIGLIERE!!!"

If Trump really picks this imbecile for anything in his Administration, it will not end well.  For America, not just for Trump.

Bolton would no doubt advise Trump to start ground wars in basically every country on earth.

Interesting. With all this turnover, I feel like Kelly has completely lost control of Trump. Maybe instead he's tired of being babysitter and is letting Trump do his thing while also pushing his own agenda. So, you know, like things were before he became CoS.

Bolton is an insane ultrahawk with a severe overestimation of American power and standing, but he is not a neocon in the classic sense.

Would still be a disaster at the NSC though.
