President Trump’s frustrations with national security adviser John Bolton are boiling over and he is considering removing his hawkish foreign policy aide, according to sources close to the White House.

Several insiders said candidates to replace Bolton have already emerged, including retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor and Ricky Waddell, assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Macgregor recently spoke with Trump, but it’s unclear what they discussed, according to a source.
