Trump, who is apparently not very close to John Bolton, has repeatedly referred to him as Mike Bolton when speaking to aides.

Trump referring to John R. Bolton as Mike has been posted about here before. Back in October, BeckyDem posted this thread

about a PoliticusUSA article
https://www.politicususa.com/2018/10/23/rapidly-declining-trump-claims-he-sent-singer-michael-bolton-to-russia.html
about Trump telling reporters he'd sent "Mike Bolton" to Russia.
Video with this tweet from a PoliticsUSA reporter:

It's apparent from the video that Trump isn't trying to make a joke and isn't aware he has John Bolton's name wrong.
That was bad enough.
But this is the first I've heard that Trump is calling him "Mike" repeatedly, to aides.
