Rex for deals, Bolton for actual foreign policy could work out very well. I doubt Rex was the one who worked out the thinking behind that Taiwan call. I also can’t see Bolton meeting with some of those foreign leaders that don’t like us very much.
But boy...the next few weeks and confirmation hearings should be crazy!
I think it’s wishful thinking now to think Bolton is getting anywhere near the State Dept. Cleaning out the State Dept. is just as much a priority as rebuilding relationships with our allies. I wouldn’t think the State Dept’s job is to procure oil deals. Not to mention we have our own damn oil. This guy is invested in foreign oil.
