Tucker Carlson: Bolton is a snake

I think Carlson is right on here. Bolton is a self-serviing, sociopathic opportunist. He's also a big warmonger and a proponent of the regime change wars that have caused untold carnage.
He's a reptile.

He's a pundit... But from what I gather, he's never been a Bolton war line tower.

I can respect someone who leans right but doesn't get goaded into every conflict. Plenty on the left are guilty of those wars too.

It was Trumps mistake to hire him. I still dont get it. Bolton never aligned with Trumps foreign-affairs vision.

Was it just to keep the neocons on his party happy?

Did Trump really think he could control the situation after letting Bolton in?

Was Trump looking for a hawk that he can shoot down to boast that he will not tolerate getting mixed up in unwinnable foreign conflicts?

If there was a plan behind hiring Bolton, I am having trouble understanding...

He's one of the few pundits I know of who has the balls to tell the truth about people like Bolton. No

I agree totally. Why did Trump ever bring that loon on board?

Mr Trump has been known for hireing people who don’t agree with him. He doesn’t really like ‘Yes-men’. I think it is a sign of strength. With hindsight, you could argue it indeed was a unwise choice to hire this guy. I saw him opposing Trump on many occasions on Fox before he was hired. I was surprised back then. Bolton is one of the ‘resistance’.

I honestly believe that the inner circle has a say on specific hirings. Bolton was probably one of them considering how radical he was to Trump.

It was also theorized that Bolton was brought on as a scare tactic to North Korea when that whole thing went down, a War Hawk like Bolton would definitely raise eyebrows, however as others have alluded to, he's basically like messing with fire.

That was my thoughts as well and I believe he stated as much.

That leads me to my second question. Did Trump think he could control the situation after giving Bolton the job?

I am all for Trump, but I'm shocked at any revelation that he was too naive to see this coming.

The neocons are on both sides of the isle. The US military propping up the petrodollar that pays for the world's largest military... that's the most powerful force on the planet. Shapes everything. I knew Trump was going after the status quo, but I never dreamed he would take on that!

Do you think Trump finally got the message, and now Iran...

In hindsite he is the only crazy mutha faker that could pull it off. Sometimes contingencies are the most effective..

How could anyone say otherwise? John Bolton wants the blood of Iranians to fill his goblet as he realizes a true American Empire.

Men like him should be resisted and opposed in all ways possible.

I think both Tucker and Bolton could have been successful in Hollywood. Or maybe they were.

There are two possibilities that I see:

First, I think maybe Trump wanted to bring in folks from all sides and many different points of view. It's a dangerous thing for a man to surround himself with people who only see things from his own point of view, who will just nod and affirm anything he says. It's a mark of character and leadership to be willing to sit down at the table with people who hold different perspectives and hammer out issues, to be willing to listen to different points of view and take them into consideration, but still be prepared to make the final decision and take the flack for it.

Trump has taken on board several who turned out to be snakes, not just Bolton. Perhaps he was trying to build a team of people who would help him see things from different angles.

Or, maybe he holds to the old adage, "Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer."

Bolton loves the MIC. Trump loves the MIC. Where's the confusion? Money first y'all!

Besides, Trump has been a 'for the peace' president in name only. Actions say otherwise.
Go with actions over words. It's where the truth lies.

Apologies apologies.... Apologies everywhere.

So many 'maybes' in order to make dear leader come out the better man.

Maybe, just maybe, Trump is....

Nah... Everyone else are 'xyz' instead. Even in the eye of failure, Trump is still 'winning '..

Goofy voice: 'ooh yea, Trump is not the one who hired him or thought he was the right guy for the job' '... Except for the times he did.

Only the best of the best around me. 🤣🤣 I mean..

Bolton has always been a bit of an odd duck.

That was before he became a snake!
And his mustache is in bad taste too.

I have thought this for a long time,
especially the mustache part.

He's a pundit who stays consistent in his pro-Trump message in order to maintain his fan base.

Nothing else.

There is no truth to be had in Tucker or any other "news" commentator.

That's what I said but I accidently double posted smh.

Trump could have been succesful in hollywood too.

Maybe we're just characters in some fevered pitch.

Makes more sense than the perceived reality
