While National Security Adviser John Bolton has a much stronger relationship with President Trump than his predecessor H.R. McMaster ever did, Bolton remains on the outer rim of the President’s inner circle. In fact, Trump sometimes forgets his first name.
According to a New York Times report on Bolton’s recent botched handling of Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, the relationship that Bolton has with Trump is not quite as chummy as the rapport Bolton maintained with President George H.W. Bush when he worked for his administration.
During private discussions with aides, Trump sometimes accidentally refers to him as “Mike Bolton,” according to the Times.

That’s the funniest piece of evidence we have so far that the wielder of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal is demented. Mike Bolton! Sing us a little something, Mike!
I sometimes refer to donnie as … dickhead ----
It’ll be even more hilarious on the day that “Mikey” gets “fired.”
Well, Michael Bolton is to music as Trump is to cuisine.
This wouldn’t be a problem if Trump started referring to everyone in his administration as “Mike.” You’ve already got Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo, and Mike Mulvaney and Mike Huckabee Sanders roll cleanly off the tongue, though Mike Carson, Mike Chao, and Mike DeVos would take a little getting used to.
