Bolton seems to have had a lot of people fooled.

KT McFarland was close to him, and she was on several talkshows around the time of the impeachment hearing, stating Bolton would never betray the President.

“That’s not John. I know him and he would never help give the Democrats the government...”

She was wrong. Bolton turned out to be a self-serving ego maniac, who thought he was the President, instead of serving the real President’s policies.

Knowing how he feels about foreign policy and knowing he realizes what will happen to foreign policy in a Biden Admin., I consider him a traitor. I know, technically, the term doesn’t wholly fit, but I consider him a traitor, nonetheless.

People who smack the help around should expect consequences. Trump’s lack of self-control brought this upon himself. I can’t bring myself to call Bolton a traitor. Benedict Arnold was a traitor, and he wasn’t even roughly handled, just not given the credit he deserved, given that his contribution was vital to the very survival of the Patriot cause. Trump’s decision to humiliate Bolton at both the pinnacle and the twilight of his career brought on this unfortunate explosion.

I will credit Bolton with the fact that he decided not to come out with this book during the impeachment process. I doubt the Senate trial would have mustered the 2/3 majority necessary to remove Trump, but his allegations would have gotten more attention, damaging Trump’s re-election chances far more. My impression is that Bolton wants to remind Trump as to why it was a mistake to screw with him, without actually inflicting a fatal wound. That aversion to the Democrats is another reason he did *not* say he is voting for Biden.
