John Bolton describes Trump’s decision-making as driven by personal relationships and ‘neuron flashes’, rather than a deep understanding of national interests
The main conceptual idea of the article is that John Bolton, Donald Trump's former national security advisor, strongly criticizes Trump's approach to foreign policy. Bolton argues that Trump lacks a coherent strategy, relying instead on impulsive "neuron flashes" and personal relationships rather than a deep understanding of national interests. He believes this makes a major international crisis more likely in a second Trump term. Bolton further dismisses Trump's claims of preventing World War III and resolving conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, calling them simply "braggadocio."
