And where was Trump? Reneging on contracts and paying off porn stars?

Exactly! Bolton's record was well known to all. If he was a "swamp creature", then why did Trump appoint him as National Security Adviser in 2018?

No, draining the swamp means never hiring a moron like Bolton in the first place.
Bolton and his ilk are the greatest part of the reason you're in the mess you're in.

Your source is ignorant on a great many things.
Stockpiles are inactive warheads, so how dumb is it your source doesn't know that?
Stockpile means "pit."
What is a "pit"?
That would be a spherical implosion device, a linear implosion device or, in the case of U235 as fissile material, a chunk of U235.
Where are the electronics that make it go?
They aren't there.
Not only do the electronic components no longer exist, the aircraft that carried that device (if it was a gravity bomb) no longer exists. Could other aircraft deliver it? Maybe.
In the case of a missile system, the motor, the booster (if it had one), the guidance control system, and the launcher (if it had one) no longer exist, and the fire control system no longer exists, either.
Then what is the value of a stockpile?
If you need to manufacture new warheads you already have the pits.
Yeah, that's right. It's a real hassle putting PUWG pellets into an autoclave.
I mention that because the Federation of Ass-Clown Scientists likes pull a Göbbels.
They'll say a State has 10,000 nuclear weapons when in fact 7,324 of those "weapons" (snicker) are just pits in the stockpile.

No, it makes him look unintelligent and uninformed, at best.
People may like Trump’s arrogance and not afraid to say things, but Trump looks and sounds like an idiot. Not a good look for the USA, usually known as the most powerful and wealthiest country in the world.
John Bolton is a war monger who got fired by President Trump, and is now acting like a child in a desperate attempt to remain relevant.
I wish I could understand why Trump hired that loser in the first place. I must admit, smart HR decisions are not one of Trump's strong points. He was an outsider, so I'll give him a pass, so long as he shows improvement moving forward.
I don't believe 1 word that comes out of John Bolton's mouth.
Read my lips John..NO NEW WARS!
That’s rich considering how many untruths and outright lies that come out of trump’s mouth and tweets.....on a daily basis!
