1. John Bolton will put America first after years of failed Obama policy

From The Hill: "MAGA has a real chance to graduate from a results-based mission to an "America first" doctrine for the Trump era and beyond."

2. John Bolton for National Security

From The Wall Street Journal: "It is a solid and experienced choice."

3. Donald Trump's foreign policy will win with John Bolton, Mike Pompeo

From USA TODAY: "New National Security Adviser John Bolton won't try to moderate Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas, he'll try to implement them."
