My comment:
Trump seems to be obsessed with “deals” and some deals,
to put it in Orwellian terms, are “more equal than others”, particularly those
where the Treaty of Hadubiyyah serves as a model. In contrast to Trump, Bolton
understood that you cannot do deals
with jihadists. So poor Bolton could not take it any more that Trump was
negotiating with the Taliban, on the week of the 9/11 anniversary.
