As Twitchy reported, President Donald Trump announced in a tweet last Thursday that he’d be naming former Ambassador John Bolton to the post of National Security Adviser effective in April.
Vox immediately hit the panic button, calling Bolton “one of the most radically hawkish voices in American foreign policy.” Even taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood got in on the act, deeming Bolton “another extreme ideologue in the Trump-Pence administration’s ongoing parade of dangerous appointees.”
As if the Planned Parenthood tweet didn’t clinch our support for Bolton, who should come out swinging Monday but former President Jimmy Carter?

So, in other words, John Bolton really is awesome. https://t.co/Z4zZOHLVwy

That’s the impression we’re getting. According to Carter, Trump choosing Bolton was both “very ill-advised” and “the worst mistake he’s made.”
So now we have Iran AND Carter in agreement on Bolton. If you didn't like him before, you should now.

I originally questioned the Bolton move, but now I'm thinking it must be pretty good. https://t.co/0m7oPOjHpN

With all due respect, that man's opinion on anything concerning national security deserves only a pat on the head and a "that's nice" https://t.co/h1TBXRfQ3G

Jimmy Carter is a very nice man but he's also the worst possible ex pres to speak on this. https://t.co/V4AZZ0SrtS
