Trump talking about it tomorrow turned out to be Trump telling Bolton on Monday to turn in his resignation by today, which Trump noted in one of his own Tweets today.
For more on the dueling Tweets here's a summary of the mess from Sputnik. As to who's going to replace Bolton as NSC advisor, from Sputnik:
Trump said he would name a person to replace Bolton next week, while the White House announced that Charles Martin Kupperman [deputy National Security Advisor] would serve as interim national security advisor.The problem for Trump, aside from not remembering the Battle of Bunker Hill, is that Bolton could never have become NSC chief without strong support from the Natoists in Washington, who have ruled U.S. defense policy since the Cold War days.
Those people are not going to take Bolton's departure lying down.
