I know what Bolton is going through very well because Trump did the same to me. After I criticized him, the president started calling me a “nut job” and said I “wheedled” my way into his campaign. Trump is either incapable of managing and working with the “best people,” or he is not hiring them. Trump aides rationalize this work to ourselves in a cycle that I call Trump Employment Syndrome. Bolton chose the latter when he resigned (even if Trump says he fired him) and then spoke out.
