The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir
by John R. Bolton
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.
