There was little pretense that when former UN Ambassador John Bolton became President Trump’s National Security Adviser and former Rep. Mike Pompeo moved into the Secretary of State position, that either would bring a professionally credible and respectable presence to world diplomacy or foreign affairs.
As the appointments of Bolton and Pompeo came shortly after a 2017 session Trump had with Henry Kissinger it is highly possible Trump made the appointments under threats (let's remember Kissinger's footprint was on JFK and Nixon). Trump must now grow a pair and save the Globe from these psychopaths.
