WASHINGTON POST Editorial Board. John Boltons legacy: Chaos, dysfunction and no meaningful accomplishment (11-9-19)
September 12, 2019
Apparently Mr. Bolton was pickedbecauseMr. Trump had enjoyed watching him on television. The result was to compound the chaos that has characterized the administrations foreign policy and left Mr. Trump without meaningful accomplishments.
Perversely, considering how out of sync he was with Mr. Trumps priorities, Mr. Bolton managed to accomplish a fair amount if mostly in a negative sense.
