Imagine a security guard who is guarding a large bank.

His job is to protect the bank and the people in it.

The security is standing at the front door and he sees a man with a military assault rifle approaching the bank.

The security guard should immediately sound the alarm, call for help and protect all the people in the bank.


Instead, the security does not warn anybody and holds the door open for the man with an assault rifle. The man with an assault rifle starts to kill people in the bank. That security guard would be fired and charged with serious crimes.

That is what Trump did with the virus. He warned no one and held the door open for the virus.

Perhaps a school security guard would be more appropriate? Or a nursing home? Or even the BOK Center in Tulsa?

Your description at the beginning of this could be applied to Bolton.

If you would have then said -- when questioned by the police he responded that he would not testify unless a big pile of money by a book publisher.
