essentially coordinating, if i m not mistaken, right, the process by which the president makes national security decisions. yes. it is. it s a very important position. and when it comes to making a decision about whether to go to war, whether to attack north korea, whether to attack iran, or launch some other military operation, the national security adviser is going to be a very important part of that decision making process. and if you have someone like general mcmaster in there, you have someone who understands our military capability and the limitations on our military capability. and also can explain to the president the likely casualties that will ensue on the battlefield and for civilians. you have someone who is a hothead like bolton who just, you know, everything for him is theoretical, and he has all these theoretical constructs that have nothing to do with reality.
there. and john bolton is going to go the exact opposite direction and get us into even more trouble in the middle east. and he s just the wrong person. and on top of that, i have to say that despite all the criticism people can make of president bush, he was a man with a level head. he would at least listen to different perspectives before making decisions. and donald trump just flies by the seat of his pants. and he tweets out this and says that and the other thing. we don t know what donald trump is going to do. he s a hothead. and then you put a hothead into the national security job. and it is a recipe for a war. and that s a very bad situation. on top of, of course, this trade war that president trump is accelerating, sending the stock market down in the toilet. well, with all due respect to president george w. bush, we have john bolton today because george w. bush appointed him
