Summary
Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to resign following a tense White House meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky that ended abruptly.
The February 28 meeting, meant to discuss a ceasefire deal, devolved into an argument when Zelensky expressed skepticism about Putin honoring any agreement.
Bolton told MSNBC that officials should resign when leaders pivot “from understanding American allies to backing America’s adversaries.”
After the meeting, Trump dismissed Zelensky as “not ready for Peace,” while Rubio criticized the Ukrainian president and defended Trump.
He was actually more of a “no” man. And to Bolton’s ideas, Trump was a “no” man to him. If I recall correctly, Bolton was pushing for Trump to bomb Iran and Trump (rightly) refused. They did not particularly care for each other.
Bolton is a war mongering whacko but he is correct here. That meeting was a disgrace.
I wasn’t debating if he was right. I agree, Rubio should resign. I would bet no one gets a job for trump without telling him they will do exactly what he wants without question. I am pretty sure they are just being more mask off about it for this administration.

That is true now. That was far less true in the early Trump admin (at least compared to now).
I love when people make counter arguments, but don’t provide any proof. “Just trust me, bro”
Ok
