Like most experts, Bolton has an instinctive disregard, even contempt, for those who are not also experts and who do not fully share his views. Foolishly, Bolton acted that way toward the President, forgetting that Trump was the boss because he had been elected, not Bolton.
Just noticed that Bolton talked about Trump’s distrust of “the bureaucracy” . . . as if the bureaucracy is actually a good thing, implied in context. Quite amazing.
