think about retiring. dave and christine? take a look at the latest cnn poll. the president s approval rating dropping to 39%, the lowest number since january. gets worse. only 6% of voters feel trump deserves to be re-elected in 2020. 60% do not believe he deserves re-election. when it comes to the strong suit, the economy, they re split. 48% to 47%. that s down eight points since april. president trump searching for his fourth national security adviser in three years. john bolton is out. how that happened fends on who you ask. the job became vacant when president trump tweeted i informed john his services are no longer needed. i asked john for his
or white view of the world. he sees countries as being good or evil. he sees leaders as being either rewarded or punished by the u.s. he has been very quick to support regime change in a number of different countries, particularly in iran when the iranians shot down a u.s. drone back in june. it was bolton who was really pushing president trump really hard to respond with some kind of force. so nobody is exactly surprised internationally to see that president trump has finally parted ways with john bolton. i think there is some surprise honestly that they were ever even working together given trump s propensity to sort of leave the door open, to sit down with dictators, to say that he ll meet with rouhani. he views himself as being a dealmaker who can sit down with anyone and hash out an agreement, although, his record has not shown that to be tested just yet.

resignation. hours later, he said i offered to resign and the president said let s talk about it tomorrow. only one of those stories can be true. there was a bitter argument over the plan to host an event at camp david. bolton was thought to be a leaker. quote, there s a lot trump can take. leaking is not one. bolton had been isolated in recent months by president trump and acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. bolton felt the president caves too much when he deals with dictators. the administrator is currently considering at least ten candidates to replace bolton. the president will announce his pick next week. bolton s firing leaves a power volupo power vacuum at the white house. the taliban talks were just one
