President Trump's list of foes is getting longer by the day, with Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, Crazy Bernie, and Nervous Nancy needing to make room for World War 6 John.
Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports that he has spoken to several Republicans who say Trump is keeping track of people he believes "crossed him during the impeachment," and has an "enemies list that is growing by the day." It's nonpartisan, with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), and former National Security Adviser John Bolton all making the cut.
Multiple Republicans told Sherman that Bolton is at the top of the list. When Bolton left the White House in September, his relationship with Trump was fractured, and Trump is furious over Bolton's forthcoming book about his time as national security adviser. Bolton reportedly writes that Trump did say there was a quid pro quo with Ukraine, which Trump has denied.

One person told Sherman Trump wants Bolton to be criminally investigated, and has been "calling people and telling them to go after Bolton." Another Republican said Trump believes Bolton could have mishandled classified information, and a third said the White House wants to leak emails that allegedly show Bolton was "doing pay-to-play" while on the National Security Council. A person close to Bolton scoffed at this, telling Sherman he "plays things straight."
