Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is backing up President Donald Trump’s assertion that he fired neoconservative National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Bolton has been texting reporters and tweeting that he didn’t get fired, but quit.
During a press briefing with Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin roughly an hour after the staff shakeup was announced, Pompeo was asked by ABC News’ Terry Moran, “did John Bolton get fired or did he quit? And did he leave the White House because he disagreed with you in particular over the talks with the Taliban?”
Pompeo responded that “last night the president asked for Ambassador Bolton’s resignation, as I understand it it was received this morning.”

If he was asked to resign is the same as being fired...even though he quit.
WHO cares?? We all know what happened requardless if what they say. The little minions got BUTT HURT with BOLTON'S no game attitude and personality. The man didn't play games. Told you straight up what he thought. PRESIDENT TRUMP is going to regret this. ESPECIALLY when dealing with China.
So, lets see. Who should we believe here.
Which person has a history of gross misrepresentations, half truths, and out right deceptions? Who is THAT person.
Now that we all have that person in mind (and we all know who that guy is), ask yourself who is more likely to be telling the truth, and who is more likely to be skewing it?
Trump continues to surround himself with yes men/women.
That formula is designed for failure

You don't tell your boss no. Just try it with your boss and see what happens. You'll be Bolton'ed.
