The Scariest Things About John Bolton
What's scary about John Bolton? Depending on which side of the political divide you fall, the answer is either "a whole lot" or "nothing much." When President Trump announced Bolton as National Security Adviser following the resignation of H.R. McMaster effective April 2018, the outcry was immediate and unusually loud.
Why the hubbub? As an attorney and diplomat serving in the Reagan and both Bush administrations, Bolton cultivated a hard-line, hawkish stance on national security, a stance on which he has doubled down over years as an analyst and commentator for Fox News and various other media outlets.
