During Trump’s 2018 meeting with Kim Jong-un, Pompeo slipped Bolton a note disparaging the president, saying, “He is so full of shit.” Pompeo later said the North Korea diplomacy had "zero probability of success."

Trump didn’t seem to know that Britain was a nuclear power and asked if Finland were part of Russia, Bolton writes. Intelligence briefings were a waste of time “since much of the time was spent listening to Trump, rather than Trump listening to the briefers.”
