I thought interesting. Particularly coming after fiona hill yesterday. Its clear that john bolton is no friend of this white house.

Level of Military Operations from your hospital bed. I dont care how many screens you have put up, you just dont have the level of communication, the level of contact with their team, not to mention, youre also dealing with some pretty serious health issues. If youre still in the hospital now, over a week and a half later. I think its important that Secretary Austin Look at how he takes care of himself.
