That’s the funniest piece of evidence we have so far that the wielder of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal is demented. Mike Bolton! Sing us a little something, Mike! :laughing:

It’ll be even more hilarious on the day that “Mikey” gets “fired.”

Well, Michael Bolton is to music as Trump is to cuisine.

This wouldn’t be a problem if Trump started referring to everyone in his administration as “Mike.” You’ve already got Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo, and Mike Mulvaney and Mike Huckabee Sanders roll cleanly off the tongue, though Mike Carson, Mike Chao, and Mike DeVos would take a little getting used to.

What that article bypassed is that there appears to be a consensus among all of Trump’s trusted advisors (from the hapless Bolton to the truly malignant Pompeo) that getting out of Syria is a mistake. It does appear that they are staying in Syria. Of all of Trump’s advisors, Pompeo is the one who can claim to speak for Trump. He hews, nauseatingly so, to Trump’s script and got Trump past the Khashoggi murder. So he’s the one with standing to tell Trump to hold off on Syria. In addition, Netanyahu, as I suspected, is also pushing Trump and Pompeo hard to keep the US in the region. If we stay in Syria and let the generals who were loyal to Mattis take care of business, we should be able to knock out ISIS, but we’ll need a solid Democratic President to put forward a political solution (as Kerry was doing before Russia attacked our country and helped Trump win the election with a promise that Trump would move their way on Syria).

Don’t forget Mike Perry and Mike Carson. They still exist, and are watered and rotated regularly.

Michael Bolton (Office Space): “There was nothing wrong with my name, until I was about 12 years old and that no talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys!”

I heard he call Mulvaney Ike, so it makes sense to a tRump supporter.

Why should the mustachioed one change his name? The singer is the one who sucks.

He also refers to Kevin McCarthy as Steve. Remember Trump is an old man who doesn’t take care of himself and doesn’t get enough sleep. These sorts of slips are inevitable.

Well he could have called him Dick Strap-on…

I’ve been known to forget names, hell, when I was working I notorious for it. Never, in all of my brain farts, did I ever mistake John for Mike. These are not difficult names to remember! John and Mike. It’s not like he’s trying to recall Jayceon or Saoirse or EliZaBeTh. Yes, I knew someone who spelled their name like that last one.

If this major diversion with the no-wall-wall doesn’t work for tRump, I anticipate and yes, predict, Bolton has about two weeks left in his job. All the emerging signs are there that have come with every other tRump appointee.

He should probably start thinking about a lease on a storage unit nearby for all his moronic ideas that went nowhere. Maybe one of those PODS…
