Pay attention to what Dowd wrote,

“Trump prefers threats and ultimatums to action because that allows him to look big and tough and get attention without doing something for which he will be held responsible. This is who he is at his core: an attention-seeking, action-averse propagandist who is terrified of accountability in the form of coffins arriving at Dover Air Force Base.”

David Axelrod, who had the military briefing about what a war with Iran would look like when he was in the Obama White House, said: “I’m telling you. It’s not a pretty picture.”

He says he is not sure which movie Bolton is starring in: “Dr. Strangelove” or “Wag the Dog.”

My singular answer is that Trump is not smart enough to foresee consequences, unless they are laid out for him by more analytical better informed people.

Won't surprise me if some time soon Bolton won't be in the same room with Trump anymore.
