Describing a toxic environment inside the administration.
Over a long career in and out of Republican administrations in Washington, Mr. Bolton has rarely shied from giving his opinions, usually born of strong conservative national security convictions that have made him one of the capital's most outspoken hawks advocating the use of military power and sanctions.
While he agreed with Mr. Trump on issues like getting out of the nuclear accord with Iran, he found himself repeatedly trying to stop the president from making concessions to other rogue states or making an ill-considered peace deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan while pushing for a more robust use of force against outliers like Iran or Syria. He considered Mr. Trump's diplomacy to be folly.
To Mr. Bolton, Mr. Trump's decision to meet North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, in Singapore was a "foolish mistake," and the president's desire to then invite Mr. Kim to the White House was "a potential disaster of enormous magnitude." A series of presidential Twitter posts about China and North Korea were "mostly laughable." Mr. Trump's meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in Helsinki was a "self-inflicted wound" and "Putin had to be laughing uproariously at what he had gotten away with in Helsinki."
Mr. Bolton also describes an environment inside the administration marked by caustic infighting in which various players trash one another in a contest for the president's ear — and the president trashes all of them.
When Mr. Bolton took over as national security adviser in 2018, John F. Kelly, then the White House chief of staff, disparaged the departing adviser, H.R. McMaster, by saying, "The president hasn't had a national security adviser in the past year and he needs one." Mr. Pompeo, the book says, disparaged Nikki R. Haley, then the ambassador to the United Nations, calling her "light as a feather."
