Mr. Bolton despises Trump and has made no bones about it. Below is what he wrote about the cancellation of the proposed trip to the WW1 US cemetary in France. The editor of the Atlantic should go down in history now as the epitome of slimeballing, and it's only too bad that Trump won't sue him for slander. --Del
Marine One’s crew was saying that bad visibility could make it imprudent to chopper to the cemetery. The ceiling was not too low for Marines to fly in combat, but flying POTUS was obviously something very different. If a motorcade was necessary, it could take between ninety and a hundred and twenty minutes each way, along roads that were not exactly freeways, posing an unacceptable risk that we could not get the President out of France quickly enough in case of an emergency. It was a straightforward decision to cancel the visit but very hard for a Marine like Kelly to recommend, having originally been the one to suggest Belleau Wood… Trump agreed, and it was decided that others would drive to the cemetery instead.
