The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir

A frustrating slog from a damaged hawk. At least it is truthful. Bolton prices hi!self on telling g everything straight. But unless you aspire to work in the State Department, you don't need 400 pages from John Bolton to explain to us that a child is the president of the United States. He should have simply testified to the House joint committee behind closed doors in the fall of 2019. This overlong, wonky foreign policy memoir puts Bolton's dry sense of humor, intelligence, and twisted view of the world on full display. Reading this book is like being hit over the head repeatedly. We get it: Trump is a moron. This isn't news. I felt I had to read this book, but frankly, Thomas Piketty would have mare more enjoyable summer reading. Bolton is such a waste of intelligence. His view of the world is to prop-up American empire at all costs. He doesn't realize that policy-wise, he is the same as Madeline Albright and Hillary Clinton, except his loyalty to the Republican party can't bring him to compliment any Democrat. And that's a weaknesses of his. He's a cranky hawk with few friends.

This book will challenge your views regardless if you are the most conservative republican or the most liberal democrat, and it will show you that the United States has a serious problem. We may already have our perception about domestic issues including the growing racial divides, the coronavirus pandemic, and the state of the economy already shape and form our opinion about President Donald Trump, but John Bolton's memoir is a successfully candid and detailed account of the dysfunction of the current Trump administration and his foreign policies. This book is no means a simple mud-throwing complaint to a national leader, but what I would judge to be a fair and highly self-critical review of his presence, influence, and service to Trump and his administration colleagues. He goes into remarkable detail of the administrations’ actions throughout most of 2018 and 2019 and provides clear public citations to back up the facts and arguments that he presents. Taking the time to read this book, combined with studying the various media reports, official records, and personal statements (including Trump’s infuriating tweets), you will come to realize the dangerous position our country is now in. While I personally cannot agree to many of the political stances of that of John Bolton including his shallow perceptions and beliefs of the Democratic party and that of the mass media, I find his logic and philosophy to what he believes is best for the country during his service as National Security Advisor honorable. I feel his only dishonor is to not testify to congress during the impeachment of Trump (as this has been discussed in the media interviews during the week of publication), however, I clearly agree that even this account would not have broken through the partisan divide that both parties in the legislation to make a difference in the impeachment process. However, it can make a difference in American lives who reads this book. That being said, this book is a critical must-read for any U.S. citizen before the general election. It brings a clear picture of what Trump’s administration really looks like.

All sworn testimony, all affidavits, all writings, submissions and opinions by the man John Bolton; under president(S) both democratic and republican.say one thing about John Bolton. John Bolton is fundamentally incapable of prevarication in any way, shape or form. If their is an inconvenient truth that he must not give voice to, he WILL find a TRUTHFUL phrasing that suffices to not adress the topic at hand. This book will tell the ugly truth that has been known since The Great Pumpkin was challenged to have his "tongue notarized." Donald J. Trump exudes pathologies like a street taco in Tijuana oozes grease. And a major portion of 'Murica has no moral restraint against putting that odiously feckless thug in the White House. John Bolton is a Hawk, a Super Hawk. But at least he has morals and recognizes unethical behaviour when it jumps in his face. And this book will be the journal of his witness to such institutionalized, wholesale pathos.
