Seeking Xi's Help for '20 Polls, Calling China's Muslim Detention Camps 'Right': Trump Aide's Explosive Tell-all Book
News 18‘Trump is Trump.’– John Bolton, a former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump, makes this inane tautological assertion in one the initial pages of his recent book, ‘The Room Where It Happened’. In his book, Bolton calls this well-calculated, diplomatic move of Trump, ‘the most irrational decision’ he has ever witnessed a President make. After Bolton left Trump administration, he openly criticized Trump’s effort to have diplomatic dialogues with North Korea, and sign the denuclearization deal, and told the press, as he has also reiterated in this book that ‘The US should focus its attention on stopping nuclear proliferation in the Korean peninsula.’ ‘The Room Where It Happened’ pinpoints Trump’s evident lack of geopolitical knowledge, his capacity to form informed foreign policy, and Bolton has a plethora of instances to cite and demonstrate Trump’s shortcomings. The first one was a book, called ‘A Warning’, written by the same anonymous White House senior official who had penned The New York Times op-ed informing the world about an internal resistance that was an uprising in the White House, which did not aim to uproot Trump administration, but only wanted to check the President’s ‘worst impulses, and thwart parts of his agendas.’ The second was Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House, which was also a memoir by Omarosa Manigault Newman, another ex-adviser to Trump.
