President Donald Trump fired off a late-night attack on John Bolton amid new allegations featured in the former national security advisor’s upcoming book. But given the nature of Trump’s attack, it didn’t go well.

Trump, who famously vowed to hire only “the best and most serious people,” now says that Bolton was a “wacko,” a “dope,” “incompetent” and a “disgruntled boring fool”:

Earlier in the evening, Trump made similar comments during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“[Bolton] was a washed-up guy. I gave him a chance,” Trump said.

That had people asking... if Bolton was incompetent and washed-up, why would Trump hire him in the first place?

Wacko John Bolton’s “exceedingly tedious”(New York Times) book is made up of lies & fake stories. Said all good about me, in print, until the day I fired him. A disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war. Never had a clue, was ostracized & happily dumped. What a dope!

You just gave the worst luck in hiring, don’t you? All your picks turn out to be dopes or overrated or dumb as rocks. What a shame.
