H.R. McMaster on Trump: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Just to go back to this question of what he believes, I mean, you know, you leave this job and you talk about it in a very funny way that John Bolton is like looking in the window like, hey, can I do this now? And he was auditioning for the job previously, right?

But the reason I bring Bolton up is that this has always mystified me, and tell me if I'm completely off base here, but I've always presumed that he hired him because he was on Fox News a lot. And he was talking about foreign policy on Fox News. And that's the foreign policy guy that I see on TV because he's a neoconservative in almost every way.

And people absolutely lost their minds in Bannon world and said, make sure that this guy doesn't get close to anything. And, you know, it's never going to be a second time around with him. But if he's the isolationist guy and he picks, you know, John Bolton as national security advisor, that never made sense to me. Why do you think he did that?

Russia. Obviously, the attacks on Trump as a Russian agent were ridiculous and unfounded. And, you know, he's obviously coming back into office with a justifiable chip on his shoulder about a number of the people that went after him. You said in your previous book quite presciently that we've allowed Russia to get away with a lot, and it's probably gonna be worse next time around.

But when you see what happened, and Donald Trump says, and the man with the Ukraine plan, Kellogg, who is obviously an antagonist in this book too, he says, I'm gonna solve all this. Just give me a couple of days. and I can take care of this. When he says something like that, I mean, you know the bluster of Donald Trump.
