John Bolton on his new book "The Room Where it Happened" - FULL INTERVIEW | USA TODAY 

I did not go along with Bolton's politics or his hawkish foreign policy but in this interview, he comes across as honest and truthful.

I have never felt comfortable with Bolton's approach to policy, but this a very intelligent and thorough interview. He is obviously a smart guy and an eloquent speaker who clearly conveys his opinions and values. Thanks for this.

Everybody is working for Trump to have a book to write.

Thank you for providing an uninterrupted discussion of this important and timely topic.

"My plan is to hope for a miracle." Sounds like a fantastic plan. How truly Republican.

Bolton is a great example of a wolf in sheep clothing .

I can respect your viewpoints and analysis of the situation. I believe you Mr. Bolton.

“Who ever hired John Bolton should be fired.” - quoted by John Bolton, 06/2020

I would love to read it but I’m so disgusted by Bolton so NO

He knew all of this and chose to say nothing!

How could Trump always end up hating the people he hires?

Isn't it funny how he's on absolutely every network doing interviews now except Fox News? Before he cashed in you wouldn't have caught him dead on a network that wasn't Fox.

The expert that is ok to gave 5 billion in cash to iran. Very smart !!!

When I saw both Democrats and Republicans hated this man I knew I had to hear what he had to say. And I wasn't disappointed. Thank you John Bolton, you've shined a light on a very dark underbelly. Fantastically informative book. Interesting how they attack Bolton's character, rather than what is inside the book.

Why didn’t you speak out when the Nation needed you? Oh, that’s simple, money

I hope Americans can draw their conclusion after what Bolton has framed as inconsistencies of policies and behavior of a president.

It's a kiss and tell book, if Bolton thought Trump was such a twat why did he work for him for so long....all I could see from the book was that Bolton was frightened of any change

Bolton would sell his soul to the devil for fame

I read Bolton’s book. It is his first-hand account of what he saw and thought while at the WH. His worldview prevails thru his writing however not once did he attack Trump’s character. He simply described what he saw and experienced.

You know, he is extremely professional and rational I thought almost every response he gave was very insightful. I do not agree with his stance on a write in vote for the president though and I wish he would reconsider that.

13:22-17:24 A vote for any candidate who has no realistic chance to beat Trump ... is a vote for Trump.

from the title of the book one is like...was he violated...lol

The audio book is on RU-vid 👍

I read the book, which content is quite well organized and presented and my observation are the following. 1. Bolton actually presents Trump in better light, than what we can observe from Trump’s everyday behaviour through his tweets, interviews, statements and surrogates. He makes him sound intelligible. 2. Bolton makes himself grandiose by subtly describing his role in executive branch. At certain parts of the book, I felt that it was Bolton that was running the country by manipulating Trump and his inner circle. 3. It was depressing to read Bolton’s view on United States allies. His view is that Europeans are pansies. In general, his view of other world leaders is quite black and white. The nuances to characters are missing. 4. I understand realpolitik, but his view on human loss is chilling. In a book there is a part describing hypothetical loss of life of 150 people. (Iranian) and his reasoning is cold and analytical. Also, after a failed meeting between N. Korea and USA, Kim Jong-Un had one of his advisors murdered and two persons imprisoned, possibly tortured. Bolton just shrugs it off. 5. While all wars are ultimately about money (or resources) it was abhorrent to read that USA wants to charge money to foreign countries - allies such as Japan, S. Korea, Germany, Poland, Saudi - and calculation is cost + 50% profit, for their interventions, their military bases…etc. There are many more things I could write about, but suffice to say - Mr. Bolton is no hero for bringing us this insider view of bubbling idiocy that is D. Trump. If anything, I found him to be cold, calculating and manipulative.

Reporter .... So, any regrets John. Bolton ...... Yes, I didn't get to drop bombs on anyone dog garnit !!! 🙄🙄

Thanks for posting the whole interview. It was insightful, to say the least.

Time to sell some books huh. Why didn't Bolton testify during impeachment?

I'm sorry I don't "believe" his excuse for why he didn't testify. If he would have testified then he was afraid no one would buy his book. 💩

whoever hired Bolton should get fired....That´s a good one

So when are we prosecuting this guy for war crimes?

It's interesting to hear his thoughts about what might happen after the fact. I may not agree with everything Bolton said but this was a very well done interview!

So why did you Boltie.. help gets rid of the pandemic task force in 2018... not a big question I suppose ..

Why didn’t he testify then??!

ive never thought of Bolton as a very funny or personable person but I laughed when she pointed out some negative things trump said about him and he said "whoever hired bolton should be fired" lol

You can see and hear Bolton's uncomfortable underlying tendency of accepting, enabling and smoothing the absolutism that is the reality of the Republican party. His imagined Republican party has died forever.

Been into the 3rd chapter and I can sense CHAOS and unimaginable foolish decisions in the oval office. To secure one for your stressed self after 4 months of isolation

Thanks for too little, too late, Mr Bolton.

Thank you

"whoever hired bolton should get fired" - i dropped my egg mcmuffin and laughed LOL

The others are waiting until after November 4th to write their books. By then it'll be too late. It may be too late for Bolton too.

The book is telling. I enjoy it so far

*Well good job, Mark Antony*

The Room? ‘Oh hi John’

Many times we see Carter, Clinton, Bush and Obama together. I don’t think, I or you, will see trump in that group.

Bolton:- The Room Where It Happened. Clinton:- What Happened? Trump:- The Art of the Grift.

When will americans stop voting millionaires and billionaires into office!!!! You are poor what makes you think the rich give af about you???!!!!

Why he never testifed.... Its simple.... He would have had to go under oath

U can not trust a guy like Bolton with that kind of mustache in this century

The book of lies ... I usedto call the bible that , I did'nt expect to have another deserivg that title

Really well thought out

Whatever you think of John Bolton, you cannot deny his intellectual bonafides.

Bolden is a traitor

Why bring out the book now? Traitor

He told everyone to talk to the lawyers then he went and talked to publishers

I listened to the audio version. This book is terrific! Fascinating day by day account.

Bolton's reputation does not line up with how sharp he is. He shoots incredibly straight.

John Bolton new book title changed, by popular demand to: "The Room Where I [John Bolton] Became Spineless"

I was in Cambodia and Thai since 2000 untill 2009

YOU MUST LEARN THE SECRECY

I do not trust Bolton's bedroom.

I listen to Bolton and wonder how anyone can think he is sane

trump is bad, but bolton also didn't testify

Bs

a little tattle tail mommy mommy! donald took a cookie from the cookie jar

the Decay of our civilization is not an affair of violence or wrong doing

The trouble is: Bolton was rarely in “The Room.”

Anybody can grow up to become President in a democracy, is what we tell our kids, But now according to this reporter and this guy who has been sacked from 4 administrations, they can only do that, if the oligarchs say they fit to do so.Think on that.

Trump hired him.....Trump fired him......what's new?

"CHICKENHAWK"

It's very brave to speak ur mind and it does make someone's life miserable, lonly and hated.this man does that and its heavenly even if he's ur enemy! Everyone respect him ultimately.

the room where it happened GachiBass

@5:50 Bolton gives his justification for his behavior in unambiguous terms. It reveals his mom consideration of citizens lives. His actions prove this. This is not opinion, it is realized in reality.

War hawk.

I would not waste one cent on his stupid bias book.

How fast did he say that?

Rejected Uncle 😅

Bolton's pretty funny

USA today deleted all of the pro Trump comments in the live chat ! Omg

Awesome unintentional ASMR video.

it does not take too much to see Mr Trump!

“There’s not a war Bolton did not like.” ~ Stephen Kotkin

This guy is dangerous. Let's not forget his role during the Bush years.

Awake Awake America

USA Today interviews the biggest Chicken-Hawk in US history.* Proper title of this interview.

God bless America and May she soar above the ignorant forever.

"if you were a senator, would you have voted to impeach president?" bolton: "well i think i would have." this response after spending 10 minutes saying the house committed malpractice in their impeachment proceedings?? those two things conflict. they did a bad job of impeachment, but yet the evidence was strong enough to impeach....at least he tells the truth about the impeachment evidence.

Agree with the previous post but every US citizen should watch this interview

usa today shame on you to give this guy a platform

(Pancha Chandra): John Bolton had the courage of his conviction to speak out and tell the truth about Donald Trump and his sleazy ways! OMG! Trump would be seething with anger! Truth and Trump never go together!

John Bolton your a great man I would vote for you Bolton 2024

"The room where it happened" sounds like a book Jada Smith would publish

The song war pigs by Black Sabbath is literally about this guy..

Danger fights danger. The game you play in the Administration and kick out games

2 P'sOS tRUMP AND bOLTON "Different philosophies but both smell bad. Gotta love it when both sides of a disagreement are wrong but for different reasons!

This guy is still a weasel...

I think the reason he got fired must be his moustache

ITS BAD TO PUT DOWN ONE SHOES AND CARRY HIGH YOUR OWNSELF
