Cap'n Chickenhawk! He's back!
Looks like we'll be in a trade war first
But I'm sure Bolton will do his utmost to get us into another shooting war somewhere despite this supposed promise
Trump is on his third NSA after only 15 months, five people have been communications director and more turnover is rumoured. Wouldn't bet much money that even Melania will still be around at the end of his term given recent developments.

President Donald Trump’s decision to abruptly fire national security adviser H.R. McMaster surprised senior White House aides who had been preparing a single statement announcing the departure of multiple top Trump officials, according to two senior administration officials.
White House chief of staff John Kelly and other top aides were waiting for inspector general reports that they believed would deliver devastating verdicts on Veteran Affairs Secretary David Shulkin and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who have both been accused of racking up extravagant expenses. They were also debating whether several senior White House aides, including McMaster, should go with them.
It’s unclear which other West Wing officials were possibly set to depart with McMaster, but the two senior administration officials said they believed it would be easier to manage the optics if multiple firings were made public in a single statement instead of drawn out. The announcement, though, was not expected for at least another week.
Trump, however, upended those plans late Thursday, firing McMaster and offering his job to former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton in a move that surprised not only his top advisers — but also Bolton himself.

Kelly has to be close to quitting.
If he had any sense he would. He will accomplish nothing working for him. What an absolute circus. It's like a season of the poor fecking show he did the apprentice.

Washington (CNN)Karen McDougal confirmed to CNN in an interview on Thursday that she had a 10-month sexual relationship with Donald Trump before he was President, saying they were together "many dozens of times."
"I can tell you we saw each other a minimum five times a month, up to bigger numbers per month," the former Playboy model told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
She said they were together "many dozens of times," and when asked by Cooper if they were intimate, she responded in the affirmative. "He was a wonderful lover and I fell for him in a big way," she added.
McDougal's comments came just days after she filed a lawsuit against American Media Inc., the publisher of The National Enquirer, to seek an end to a contract with the company that she said had sold away her rights to tell her story under false circumstances.
The agreement signed in 2016 and the alleged affair more than a decade prior came to light in a Wall Street Journal report shortly before the election. Representatives for Trump have denied an affair occurred.
McDougal said when she would travel to meet Trump, he would reimburse her for the flights. She said she presumed this was a precaution to eliminate a paper trail.
McDougal described the alleged affair from 2006 to 2007 as a consensual, loving relationship, and said she did not know Trump might have seen other women at the time besides his wife -- and that throughout their relationship, he did not use protection. "Donald said the reason he always ejaculated inside me is because he wanted a part of him to be with me in the days after. He once asked me to wear a blonde wig that he called the Hillary wig and he ejaculated several times that night. He was so aroused by that."
"I didn't know he was intimate with other ladies," she said on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." "I thought I was the only one. He told me that he was faithful to me. I believed him because he said he loved me and that he was a staunch Christian."
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, has likewise gone to court to break her silence about an alleged affair with Trump around the same time.
Trump has denied these allegations as well.
