John Bolton harshly criticized President Trumps foreign policy on Wednesday at a private lunch, saying inviting the Taliban to Camp David sent a terrible signal and that it was disrespectful to the victims of 9/11 because the Taliban had harbored al Qaeda, Politico reports.
Bolton also said that any negotiations with North Korea and Iran were doomed to failure, according to two attendees.

(115,661 posts)2. The Gatestone Institute is really... something.
The Gatestone Institute's personnel include Nina Rosenwald (President), and Naomi H. Perlman (Vice President). Amir Taheri is the Chairman of Gatestone Europe. John R. Bolton, the former Chairman and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, received at least $310,000 from the organization until 2013 and in 2018 he resigned to become the National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump. Its authors include Nonie Darwish, Alan Dershowitz, Raymond Ibrahim, Denis MacEoin, Daniel Pipes, Raheel Raza, Khaled Abu Toameh, Geert Wilders, Janusz Wójcik, Bat Ye'or, Josef Zbořil and Dexter Van Zile.
Rebekah Mercer, a billionaire heiress known for her donations to right-wing causes, was listed as a Gatestone board member in April 2017. When the foreign policy-focused website LobeLog inquired about her role in the organization, Gatestone removed all information about her from their website. It was later revealed that Mercer Family Foundation gave $150,000 to Gatestone in 2014 and 2015.
Gatestone authors have appeared on Russian media, including Sputnik News and RT. On at least four occasions, Gatestone articles were promoted on Twitter by Russian trolls working for the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency.
The Gatestone Institute has been frequently described as "anti-Muslim", regularly publishes false reports to stoke anti-Muslim fears, and has published false stories pertaining to Muslims and Islam. Gatestone frequently warns of a looming "jihadist takeover" and "Islamization" of Europe, leading to a "Great White Death". Gatestone authors have a particular interest in Germany and Sweden, and frequently criticize leaders such as Macron and Merkel.
