2.0

Ugh. John Bolton holds himself in very high esteem. He doesn’t like democrats, he thinks Ronald Reagan was one of the best presidents in history. This was a hard read (it took me a month to drudge through the first 20% of the book before it expired. I switched to the audio version, and cranked out the rest at high speed. The structure of this book is like a ping pong match between 20 players, but then again, considering the subject of the book, it makes sense. I have zero desire to ever read another book by John Bolton, and reading this book helped confirm that I can’t trust any of his options or perspective, even if they’re infinitely more trustworthy than this almighty boss.

The most that I got out of this is that the almighty leader is like an ADD child without treatment, that his staff are like babysitters, and this will go down as a historic period of time (not a good kind of historic either). This presidency is terrifying.
