Let's thank the mustache. In round 1 'interviews' for cabinet positions, it was reported that a big priority for Trump was that people "look the part", and Bolton lost out because of the mustache. Dude's level of unhingedness matches that of other Trump Team members (Bannon.) Tonight, I appreciate the vanity of Bolton and his affinity for his mustache - even after the reporting that the mustache is why he didn't get an appointment earlier.

Hey John - keep that mustache, it is part of your brand, don't lose it in (at least in the next 3 and 11/12 years.
