President Donald Trump announced Thursday his hire of former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton, who will replace H.R. McMaster as National Security Adviser.

The right believes Bolton is the best man for the job. A roundup of opinions explores the issue:

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."
