Joltin’ John Bolton: All international laws are invalid, meaningless attempts to constrict American power.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If Joltin’ John actually stated that, Trump should immediately sign him up, because there is virtually no one else under consideration who would have the balls to say it.
