I am a history graduate. One of the reasons why I didn't feel Trump was capable of doing the job is just what Bolton is referring to here- Trump doesn't know anything about world history or even national history, nor does he care to learn. I don't think he is capable of learning history and he doesn't really care to learn anyway. How can you have a president who doesn't know history? He makes foreign policy decisions without knowing these things. I find that to be absurd. It really sets the nation back.

Got me thinking about these political divisions... this guy "grew up" (figure of speech, I know he's older than that) in the Reagan administration, so to speak. Those people weren't political figures to him - they were his mentors. And I don't doubt that a number of those mentors were decent, well-meaning people. Coming around to see the poison that's taken hold of the Republican Party, something painfully obvious to me for so long, and something he was also a party to, no pun intended, has got to be difficult. The guy has been speaking up, thoroughly. Biggest complaint I hear, why didn't he say this during the impeachment... I ask, would it have mattered? I doubt it. He's speaking up right before the election, when it's most likely to have an impact.

All Nuts No Bolts drumpf has already told 20,000 lies in office. That’s on top of his racist, divisive rhetoric, his appalling behaviour, and his utter lack of moral character. Obama wouldn’t have gotten away with 1/40,0000th of the insults drumpf has heaped upon Americans and the USA.

So Trump did not hear what Joe Bolton had to say ...so now there is no war !! Thank God

In that way took a very important piece off of Iran's play, while avoiding a casualties in the millions war that John Bolton probably preferred... give Trump that at least.

In other words, to paraphrase for Bolton, the current president is just not up for the job. He's just not smart enough. "He's very uneducated in world history." "... Donald Trump never seemed very interested in learning."

I don't really like Bolton but always find him interesting to listen to. I like that he was honest at 42:16 in saying he would have probably gone along on the march then regretted it.

The policy of Donald Trump is “how I will look”, nothing else matters.

A dictator doesn't require a philosophy or planning. All dictators are based on two things, an over inflated sense of importance. Some call it ego. Then finally the thirst and obsessive drive to maintain power.

Bolton gives interesting insight and does a lot of spinning. I suppose he is trying to save his reputation.

40:48 Thank you for coming out and being so candid with us about your time on his staff. It is very important that the public be educated about this, that we might be an informed electorate. I think that there is only one minor yet detrimental flaw in your analysis Mr. Bolton, He does have a very simple and dangerous philosophy. And that is to be the "winner" in the zero sum game of life, to gain and maintain money and power at all costs, with no compunction about destroying anything in the process, including our democracy and our very lives. And like every other narcissistic dictator, every decision he makes is literally based on that underlying philosophy. I think you meant, and in fact you did say, that he has no complex analytical abilities as it applies to a foreign strategy, but I believe that you might agree that that is quite different from having no philosophy. Sorry for seeming pedantic, but that does change our understanding of just how dangerous this man is. Sorry to piss on your "one silver lining". However, the more I hear you talk, the more faith I have that our country was on the right track before Trump.

Regardless of your appreciation for Bolton or not, the value of his testament is how it details the president’s MO, who knows more about (blank) than (blank)...

John Bolton is old school time for him to go.

Hey Bolton: you explained the HISTORY of why we WERE in South Korea, but Trump asked “why are we there NOW?” Asking the same question in a variety of contexts represents intellectual flexibility that you - based on your neocon record - don”t possess. Thank you for your service and forgive my critique.
