John Bolton, a well-known neocon and warhawk, has expressed concerns about President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s swift selection of administration nominees. Bolton appeared visibly upset on NewsNation, pleading for assistance from the government. He criticized Trump\u2019s choice of Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, claiming it signals a loss of sanity in intelligence gathering. It&#8217;s important to note the stark contrast between Gabbard and Bolton&#8217;s views on military intervention; Bolton is notably pro-war. He further stated that until both Gabbard and Matt Gaetz undergo thorough FBI investigations, they shouldn&#8217;t have confirmation hearings due to their potential threats to national security. Despite his disdain for Trump, Bolton&#8217;s belief that anyone values his opinion highlights why Trump&#8217;s election was so significant\u2014many Americans rejected figures like him who are disconnected from everyday struggles and advocate for war as a solution. Even if circumstances had been different with a hypothetical &#8220;Madam President-elect Kamala Harris,&#8221; Bolton&#8217;s inconsistent track record undermines the credibility of his opinions regarding future administrations in 2024; they can be deemed irrelevant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2369005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/John-Bolton.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[45011,44998,32603,45012],"class_list":["post-2369004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-fbi-intervention","tag-john-bolton","tag-political-news","tag-trump-nomination"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/John-Bolton.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2369004"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2369008,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369004\/revisions\/2369008"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2369005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2369004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2369004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2369004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
