John Bolton, former National Security Advisor under Donald Trump, has once again criticized his former boss, this time accusing him of hiring “lunatics” to key positions during his first term. As Trump prepares to return to the White House in 2025, Bolton’s ongoing criticisms about the competence of Trump’s hires are garnering renewed attention. Some view Bolton’s words as a reflection of the chaos that defined Trump’s first administration, while others argue that Bolton is simply nursing old grievances. With Trump’s second term just around the corner, is Bolton’s assessment fair, or is it a personal vendetta?
Yes
He is.
No
He isn’t.
