John Bolton is a spooky neoconservative deep state operative who has held various jobs in the US government, including US Permanent Representative to the United Nations. He resigned as President Trump's National Security Advisor on 10 September 2019.

Career

Bolton was US Ambassador to the UN. He has been assisted by fellow Cercle attendee, Laura Jordan Dietrich, who was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs when Bolton was with USAID, an agency of the US State Department.

National Security Advisor

On 22 March 2018, Donald Trump announced that John Bolton would succeed H. R. McMaster as US National Security Advisor on 9 April 2018. Bolton tweeted his official statement on accepting @POTUS' request to become the next National Security Advisor.

Book

Bolton released a book detailing working with Trump, sitting next to him in meetings all over the world.

“Trump spoke with Xi Jinping by phone on June 18, ahead of 2019's Osaka G20 summit, when they would next meet. Trump began by telling Xi he missed him and then said that the most popular thing he had ever been involved with was making a trade deal with China, which would be a big plus politically. They agreed their economic teams could continue meeting. The G20 bilateral arrived, and during the usual media mayhem at the start, Trump said, "we've become friends. My trip to Beijing with my family was one of the most incredible of my life." With the press gone, Xi said this is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. He said that some (unnamed) political figures in the United States were making erroneous judgments by calling for a new cold war, this time between China and the United States. Whether Xi meant to finger the Democrats, or some of us sitting on the US side of the table, I don't know, but Trump immediately assumed Xi meant the Democrats. Trump said approvingly that there was great hostility among the Democrats. He then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election, alluding to China's economic capability to affect the ongoing campaigns, pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win. He stressed the importance of farmers, and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump's exact words, but the government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise.”
