"John Bolton...obtained the contract for the work Cambridge Analytica did for Bolton’s PAC, which included “behavioral microtargeting with psychographic messaging.” Cambridge Analytica went on to work for President Trump's campaign."

John Bolton clearly is familiar with the techniques used to psychologically affect target audiences. I presume he uses these means to promote his own career and goals.

I am dumbfounded that both his public face is widely perceived to be either a sociopath, and that this has worked to involve him at the most potentially troubling position for a sociopath in the current administration.

My guess is that this perception management presents him as the best choice for folks wishing to effect as much and as many wars as possible, and that this makes him ideal for the post he now has been nominated for.

This troubles me.

Thanks!
