John Bolton Sums Up What Trump Really Wants In 1 Damning Word
HuffPost
The former national security adviser warned that this single trait "won't serve the country well."
John Bolton warned that Donald Trump is looking for one specific trait as he assembles his Cabinet and hires other top advisers ― and it’s not the one that usually comes to mind.
“The word ‘loyalty’ is often used,” Bolton told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I think that’s the wrong word, actually. I think what Trump wants from his advisers is fealty, really a feudal sense of subservience.”
But Bolton ― who served as national security adviser under Trump and has since become a critic ― warned the president-elect that fealty would come with a cost.
“He may get that, but I will tell you: That will not serve him well over the course of his next term,” Bolton said. “And it certainly won’t serve the country well.”
Bolton also urged Trump’s picks to “hold onto their principles and their integrity” in the White House.
