Another massive America news blizzard yesterday: Trump lawyer quits, tariffs tariffs tariffs, stock-market slide, former alleged mistresses of the President speaking out, McMaster out (finally), Bolton in (finally). And then, as a night cap, the Senate approves a whooping $1.3 trillion spending plan to prevent a government shutdown.
The Bolton news has, so far, been the most headline grabbing, even though people in the know — and readers of Spectator USA — have known it was about to happen for weeks now. Trump has rather sweetly let it be known that he has hired Bolton on the condition he didn’t start any wars: ‘now now John, don’t go nuking’ but people who cherish world peace are right to be alarmed. Bolton appears never to have seen an international problem he didn’t want to turn into a war.
