Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in government is hard.
John Bolton
Image
The Republican Party is the party of national security. There's hardly a national security wing of the Democratic Party anymore. So if we turn away from it, that'll be a big problem.
John Bolton
Image
The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.
John Bolton
Image
Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.
