JOHN BOLTON: “John Bolton is a sick person. And John, and he’s not a smart person. And he actually worked for me, because, frankly, I didn’t talk to him much. There wasn’t much to say. You’re not going to learn much from the guy. He’s just, you know, hardline to a point of stupidity. And having him in a room, you automatically had a hardline position. But no, John is not somebody that people respect very much.”
