Fareed: Here's the practical problem with John Bolton's worldview

Trump has no idea how to do what must be done to further any particular policy he may, from time to time, announce that he's party to.  Thus, whenever he claims that he's in favor of something or other, do not expect his next move to be in furtherance of meeting that objective.  Because of his ignorance and self centered egotistical nature, his  next move is easily manipulated into some momentary self serving stupidity, at diametrical odds with any of his previously stated objectives. 



Anyone who thinks Trump is abandoning his stated goals, does not understand that Trump never has any idea of what is required to mean what he says.  He merely says what makes some kind of sense at the moment,  and what makes sense at any given moment, changes from moment to moment, depending on how the question is framed, and/or what's popular at the time.
