On March 30, John Bolton, Trump's old National Security Advisor, is calling out the White House over Marco Rubio holding down two big jobs at once. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. He says cramming both roles into one guy is messing up war planning and decision-making, leaving key stuff neglected in Trump's second term. Bolton's advice is simple. Rubio should pick one and let someone else take the other. This set up kicked off back in May 2025 when Mike Waltz bailed after just over 100 days as National Security Advisor, hit by a major security slip-up with a messaging app. Trump jumped on true social to say, Rubio already locked in as Secretary of State would handle National Security on an interim basis, but it's dragged on. Folks are buzzing about the chaos in Trump's National Security team. With Bolton warning, it weakens the whole operation amid tense global spots. Rubio's crew stayed quiet on the criticism and its sparking talk on how this double-duty hits real-world strategy.
Bolton didn't stop there, ripping into JD Vance possibly leading Iran talks, saying they go nowhere and Vance cares more about his own politics. He trashed Trump accepting Iranian oil as a dumb move that funds their attacks on U.S. troops, pushing instead for a full blockade and backing regime. Overthrow. Meanwhile, Bolton's pushing hard to arm Iranian opposition groups with help from allies like Arab states in Israel to topple the regime from inside. Even as his own legal fight brews over mishandling classified info where he pleaded not guilty last October, his hawkish takes keep shaking up the gun. Foreign policy debate.
