right. his analysis was correct. the president was just wrong. right. so, yeah, i think it s not ideal. it s also i mean, it s one thing to have that discussion behind the scenes, it s another thing for a president on a foreign trip in front of john bolton and everyone else, to say, some of my folks believe this. but that s not the first time he said that kind of thing. he said that to vladimir putin about dni coats. you write about the chaos behind the scenes under bolton. he s sort of you know, he s moving to try to keep his influence and spread his influence. now, how does that work? well, i think what s interesting now in the administration is you just you have a big vacuum, basically. so, there isn t a perment sec d permanent secretary of defense. there s no u.n. ambassador. there s no secretary for homeland security. so the whole sort of field when you say it like that, it doesn t sound good. so the whole field of national security is it falls to him.
