US media reports suggest that President Donald Trump is considering replacing his hawkish National Security Adviser John Bolton over his plans to push the United States towards a military conflict with Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. Bolton “is headed for the exits, having flown too close to the sun on his regime change efforts for Iran, Venezuela and North Korea,” The National Interest magazine reported Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. “Hearing that Trump wants him out,” a former senior Trump administration official told the magazine. There is speculation in Washington “that there’s now daylight between Trump and Bolton,” the report added. The fighting has also expanded to include US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, officials say. A State Department official and a former White House official both report that Bolton and Pompeo are “fighting all the time.” A former senior official in the State Department said Pompeo is enthusiastic about isolating Iran, but fearful of an actual war that might engulf much of the Middle East. “John Bolton is the problem … Trump’s national security adviser is getting dangerous...particularly to the president’s ideals,” Douglas Macgregor, a Bolton rival and would-be successor, writes in Spectator USA. Trump ran his election campaign on the promise to pull the US military out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria -- unwinnable post-9/11 wars that have consumed American lives and military budgets. That partial retreat remains one of Trump's strongest points in his pitch to be the so-called outsider president. But Bolton is working in exactly the opposite direction. PressTV-‘US hawks present Trump with military plan on Iran’ PressTV-‘US hawks present Trump with military plan on Iran’ Hawkish American officials, led by Bolton, have reportedly presented President Trump with a new military plan aimed at Iran, which would see Washington deploy 120,000 troops to the Mideast. The United States has been ratcheting up economic and military pressure on Iran, with Trump recently urging Tehran to talk to him. "What I’d like to see with Iran, I’d like to see them call me," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday. But then he said he would not rule out the possibility of military action in Iran amid escalating tensions before slamming former secretary of state John Kerry for his involvement in the issue. His remarks came after Bolton said on Sunday that the United States was sending an aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East in a "clear and unmistakable" message to Iran. The Pentagon announced on Friday that the US was deploying an amphibious assault ship and a Patriot missile battery to bolster an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers already sent to the Persian Gulf. Poster Comment: Ha... Americans will realize that Zionists are a full liability and of no help to any country. Zionists are a cowardly conniving group that accomplishes very little. This behavior lends to the historical fact that Israel has not existed for almost all of history . John Moron fired a highly competent Secretary of State like Rex tillerson. Don't expect any intelligent decisions from dump Chud Nazak... That old SOB Bolton needs a damn good A ss whipping. He is a racist and belligerent thug. [Tatarewicz] Bolton just doing what the Zionist-sponsored Congress wants.

Trump should have never appointed him. He's never been in line with Trump's campaign promises and his natural inclinations which were and are to withdraw troops from the ME.

A sensible option but he probably assured his Jew sponsors it was cheap election talk, otherwise wouldn't have gotten their money and media support. As well he was perfectly aware of who sponsors winning Congress candidates.
