This development was very disturbing to me as well, on several additional fronts, than even mentioned here. I do find it ironically rich that the Iranians properly credit Bolton for his role on Soleimani, while Trump cannot.
) The President of Red Eye has an additional problem in that he is on his own political island. If, God forbid, something happens to him...should the Media & Left complain at all, it would only be as a way to blame Trump (which he'll mostly deserve). Many political islanders end up eventually changing positions & moving to the other side (don't complain to me if Cheney or Kinzinger wind up doing exactly that), but Bolton never would. Right or wrong, he's very principled. I can only hope he hires his own personal security.
) To me, the context is much broader here than just Trump's retribution - something more like: 'politicization of violence'. I'm personally disturbed by ALL of it: Trump's pettiness with Bolton here, pardons of the Jan 6 violent criminals, Paul Pelosi's attack, the Left's yawn at threats on Supreme Court Justices, the BLM riots, the persecution of Daniel Penny, etc etc etc. I would also add in the deliberate downplaying of Trump's assassination attempt (note I completely disagree with Daly that the "Trump Fell" type headlines were by-and-large unintentionally misleading). But this violence all needs to be condemned in the harshest possible terms by all political figures & media. We all know it won't though & to me, Trump is missing a real unifying opportunity to be a Leader by example on that exact front.
) As a perfect example of that aforementioned broader perspective - Daly's own comments here could apply almost EXACTLY to Daniel Penny & its precedence:
"Is this a healthy thing for our nation? Does it encourage capable people — individuals of integrity — to HELP OTHERS IN DANGER? Why would such people go out on a limb, and put themselves in potential danger in service to HELPLESS VICTIMS, if something as menial as a political difference could disqualify them from protection by our government?".
