Security Threat

John Bolton, former National Security Adviser and author of The Room Where It Happened, was a guest on The View (11/24/2020). When asked if there was concern that Trump could become a potential security threat after leaving office he said

I do think that there's reason to worry. But on the other hand, I'd say he didn't pay an awful lot of attention to most of his intelligence briefings when they were given at least during my tenure. Much of the time during the briefings was consumed by him talking. Lyndon Johnson once said “I don't learn very much when I am talking.” Nobody told Donald Trump that. So, fortunately, the amount of things that he could disclose that would be damaging are a lot more limited than people might think.
