The firing of John Bolton, following the resignation of Jim Mattis, which was preceded by the firing of everyone in the D.C. telephone directory, is not at all surprising.

I vividly recall Trump’s comments before he was elected, in which he displayed his megalomania, after being asked with whom he would get advice:

“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things,”

And

I know what I’m doing, and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people, and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are,” Mr. Trump said in May of 2016. “But I speak to a lot of people, but my primary consultant is myself, and I have a good instinct for this stuff.”

(Sigh)
