Hired in Spite of the Mustache

Trevor Noah is not impressed by John R. Bolton, President Trump’s new pick for national security adviser. Bolton is known for his hard-line right-wing views, and he’s one of the few prominent members of the foreign-policy intelligentsia who still vociferously defend the United States’ 2003 invasion of Iraq.

In 2015, Bolton criticized President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran in an opinion article for The New York Times suggesting that the United States should launch pre-emptive strikes against Iran. On “The Daily Show” on Tuesday, Noah quoted from an interview Bolton gave to Fox News shortly after writing that article.
