I’m leaning toward what he is saying. He is giving the media something to run with.
Bolton is a jerk, but a broke clock (analog) is right twice a day.

After years of exasperated striving, John Bolton has come down to the level of a negative indicator. Whatever he says, take the other way.

Is the goal to be friends or to have respect?
