Trump drags John Bolton: "John is known as a tough guy. He's so tough he got us into Iraq.

Something tells me Bolton will not take this lying down (he made even more comments that were not posted in the clip).

1. And an ASSHOLE in the White House hired him.....who was that don?

2. Ha!

I actually think Trump's sarcastic response about Bolton was perfect. I'm sick of fake tough guys who hide behind desks and avoid their own wars yet get us into them.

Still though, Trump really should have looked at his record before he hired him. Total incompetence.

3. and who was the idiot who hired him?

11. You nailed it. I thought rump was going to hire only the 'best' ... ha! When he gripes about...

people in his own admin, little does he realize that he's basically saying 'I screwed up'.

Incompetent. Totally unfit for the job, and where is the Senate?

4. Bolton is a fucking ass clown coward just like everyone else surrounding this dipshit. He'll

at most say "Thank you sir! May I have another sir!".

5. Trump knows so little about so many things..

I don't believe he hired Bolton based on his knowledge of the man or on his own vetting process. Someone suggested him, and Trump is so lazy, he just went with it.

10. I think it is because he saw him on Fox news.

John Bolton, Fresh From Fox News, Joins the Trump Cast



Less than an hour after President Trump named John R. Bolton as his new national security adviser on Thursday, Mr. Bolton made an appearance in the venue where many Americans, including Mr. Trump, have come to know him over the past decade: Fox News.

“I think I still am a Fox News contributor,” Mr. Bolton, laughing, told the host Martha MacCallum at the start of a previously scheduled interview.

“No,” Ms. MacCallum clarified. “You’re not.”

You can’t blame him for being a bit confused.

Mr. Bolton — a featured commentator on Fox News since 2007, after his term as ambassador to the United Nations — is the third TV personality in the past eight days to join Mr. Trump’s it-came-from-the-small-screen White House team.

6. I hope Bolton spills what he knows.

He's vile yes, but was fired because he wasn't a yes man, not because of who he is.

7. "I'm too smart to vet my appointees!"

9. lolololol
