I think Trump probably doesn't have a clue as to what John Bolton's views are other than what he's seen of him as a commentator on Fox News, and he knows Bolton wants to take on Iran and hates Muslims.WASHINGTON — John Bolton, who President Donald Trump said on Thursday will replace H.R. McMaster as his national security adviser on April 9, is a polarizing pick, even by Trump administration standards.
Bolton is a notoriously hawkish former United Nations ambassador whose views don’t even align with the isolationist foreign policy platform on which Trump campaigned ― although it is difficult to tell what the president actually believes.

I don't know how long Bolton will last, but it will be long enough for Trump to use him to advance his desire to drop out of the Iran pact.
- Bolton fiercely advocated for the Iraq War and promoted the false justification for it. [...]
- He has called for bombing Iran and North Korea. [...]
- Bolton has a history of speaking about international organizations with derision. While at the U.N., Bolton criticized it as “a twilight zone.” His extreme views and brash manner alienated many U.S. allies.
- He has aligned himself with anti-Muslim hate groups. [...]
- He joked that former President Barack Obama was a Muslim.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
