Trump Fires National Security Advisor John Bolton

President Donald Trump has just announced he has fired his National Security Advisor, John Bolton.
Bolton, Trump’s fourth NSA, was clashing with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence. As National Security Advisor, Bolton disagreed with some of Trump’s more extreme positions.
Bolton has a long history of being a war-monger, and has frequently been called a neocon, or neoconservative.
….I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week.
