Donald Trump says he's got a big announcement coming: his national security team.
The comment come less than a full week after Trump, speaking on a battleship in California, vowed that if elected "we're gonna make our military so big and so strong and so great and it will be so powerful that I don't think we're ever going to have to use it."
And it took place with the same radio host who recently exposed Trump's lack of knowledge of Middle East politics, befuddling him with questions about Iran's Quds Force, which Trump misheard as "Kurds."
In the new interview with Hewitt, Trump did not name any names, but said he had been meeeting with generals and "national security people."

I would be OK with Bolton as an adviser in a panel, but not in any leadership position on the national security team.
“Who was against Bolton?”
Not sure really
I know that he did make a fuss about Clinton and her fake concussion when it came to testifying about Benghazi though
I don’t think Bolton will be one of Trump’s team.
Linseed was against Bolton. Always thought Bolton was more or less OK
Bush used a recess appointment to get him in.
No names in interview II, except he talked about Kim III and his instability. Was fairly detailed as to policy.
Graham, Pataki, Gilmore, Santorum, Huckabee, Jindal, and Christie all need to get out now. The only thing keeping them in is their egos and the GOPe.
Agree.
Walker was right about one thing...that these lower - 0 polling candidates need to get out of the race.
I didn’t know Graham was against him.
I knew all the Dems and liberal left hate him more than anyone else in the field.
while Reagan was Governor. He correctly described the necessity to surround himself with good advisers.
and most were all from california stanford not new york/harvard crap. worked wonders.

Just FYI, Trump has mentioned his name. I would expect any team Trump puts together will have Bolton on it. Hopefully, as part of a larger team.
Is he still tweeting sweet nothings to Trump trying to stay relevant?
They need to stay in so they can pay off the debt they have concurred.
No one gets out until the money is gone. There are ancillary benefits of staying in the race. Face time on TV, advance payments on future books, and the campaign money collected is very handy and stays under their control. Any delegates won are good bargaining chips to secure a position in the cabinet or head of some department.
May be the only method available to Bobby Jindal to get attention lol.
He is a stable headed patriot. Not sure if Trump knows him well.
John Bolton is Henry Kissinger III and HK could tough talk and then cut deals with Communists.
Bolton is the modern foreign policy elitist who sees good terrorists like the ones fighting Assad in Syria just like Kissinger saw good Communists in China and Romania.
Bolton talks the GOPe foreign policy talking points on Fox News regularly.
Indeed! :)
I have had serious Bush fatigue since 2007!!!!!
