Ambassador John Bolton as national security adviser brings a hawkish presence, combined with a bulldog spirit, to the White House. In 2015, Bolton wrote an article for The New York Times, titled: “To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran.”He also supports Trump’s aggressive stance on North Korea. But Axios reported that Bolton has a reputation not only for having hawkish tendencies, but also for getting things done. “He believes in a strong military, going after terrorists, taking the gloves off,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. said on "Fox and Friends." Bolton is likely to encourage Trump’s more bullish tendencies when it comes to foreign policy, and some lawmakers are expecting a significant pivot in terms of foreign policy remarks from the White House.
