The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir
by John R. Bolton
I do think the Hamilton reference in the title is amusing. This was an interesting read on the Trump presidency. First my favorite thing from this book is the term "Axis of Adults." Many of the things that are being denied by this administration are backed up by Bolton, ahem COVID-19 and not exactly love of the military. One thing to consider is that this was reviewed to ensure that classified information was not used in the book, and the fact that Trump is very much a lawsuit person and would have no issues suing Bolton for libel if this was not true. Bolton does have an arrogance and I honestly believes he think he could be a better President that those that he has worked for and against. I was surprised by how much Trump was bending over backwards to please North Korea -especially with the war games. Bolton did state that Trump cannot tell the difference between his personal interest and the country's interest. Many times the Logan Act has been brought up against the Trump administration for violating the Hatch and Logan Acts. I found it very interesting that Trump wanted John Kerry persecuted under the Logan Act - is the pot calling the kettle black? I also found it interesting that if tried the Logan Act would be declared un-Constitutional. If that is the case then why does it exist? However, all this being said Bolton did state, "I don't want facts slowing down the narrative flow." I think this was more about getting into the weeds, but when the term "alternative facts" exists only because of this administration it does show the importance of facts.
