Back in 2016, Bolton was convinced Americans should wage war against China, immediately, and that Iran was unimportant and a distraction.

Lastly, is there anything you want the American people to know about your own experiences being in the room with Trump talking about Iran? 

I think his pattern is he can swing wildly on a given issue in the course of a day. And he’s obviously swung all the way from where he was in the first term to regime change. He could swing back. I wouldn’t say we’re on a short course toward from point A to point B. You never are with Trump.
