Folks who stay a whole term are rare, turnover will be high as objectives and promises are kept.

Just proves what we suspected all along. This administration is an updated Looney Tunes Saturday morning cartoon.

Bolton is the opposite of your first paragraph.
He's a democracy spreading military adventurist.

Wonder why the media portrays the current Trump moves as him surrounding himself with "Yes Men," when it appears at least in the case of Bolton, just the opposite.

In the eyes of media 'Trump can do no right'

I guess it applies to the dudes going out. But, at least on paper, it isn't the case with this hiring.
I'm not really sure what foreign policy platform Trump ran on but it certainly wasn't neo-conservative which Bolton epitomizes.

I like that on at least one major media outlet, on their crawl they wrote that Trump had hired a "FoxNews analyst" as his National Security Advisor...

That's what he's been for the last 10+ yrs, so it would seem an accurate statement.

People are fed up with the MSM and their BS ways...the more they tried to tell everyone how bad Trump was for the country as a potential POTUS, the more support he received.

Crazy, huh? Just like when they think it might be wet out when it's raining or cold out when it's snowing.

The only thing that's clear with that kind of crawl info is that the organization writing it doesn't respect John Bolton one iota...which is no surprise.
If Bolton were a DEM being hired by Obama, but had spent the last 10 years on MSNBC, he would have been referred to as "FMR UN AMBSSDR"
End of story.

I never trust them weather wise, prefer to just take a step outside and take a personal look.

I don't like Bolton a shred. But, I'll go way out on a limb and say that as much as anything the President wants to do something meaningful and tangible about North Korea. I would not be entirely surprised if this move actually does have some 4D chess to it and that Bolton is symbolic as much as anything. In other words, lets you and I, Kim, get something done, or Bolton will. Make Trump into the guy you want to work with if you are a North Korean loon. Score a big diplomatic win that nobody can really knock before the end of term one.
