In other words, Bolton can't argue with what Trump actually did, he just hates Trump because Trump pretty much ended Bolton's relevance within the GOP.

How come no one on the left wants to have policy arguments?

Or maybe he dislikes Trump for being so stupid and only looking out for himself instead of the country (similar to what F. Hill said about Trump).

"This is not really a policy argument," Bolton said. "This is really about Trump's lack of any significant historical knowledge, his lack of strategic thinking, and frankly, his lack of thinking about pretty much anything other than what benefitted Donald Trump."

Bolton went on to say the former president only made moves that would benefit himself and his own political purposes, not the country.

"Why was he concerned about Ukraine in the summer of 2019? Because he wanted that DNC server," Bolton added. "Why was he concerned about corruption in Ukraine? Because he was looking for an excuse to cover the reason he was refusing to send $250 million of security assistance to the Ukraine, and only when that finally blew up in his face."

Yes, it's horsecrap to say something that's completely contradicted by the facts.

Tax cuts, generationally low unemployment, lowest black unemployment ever recorded, not getting us involved in stupid wars, bringing jihadists to their knees, soaring stock market, criminal justice reform...

NONE of that helped the country?

It doesn't matter if everyone Trump ever met said he didn't do anything to help the country, the fact is he did help the country.

My favorite moment of the Trump presidency? A little kid wrote to Trump that he also wanted to start his own business, a lawn mowing business. So Trump brought him to the White House, let the kid cut the lawn, Trump walked back and forth across the lawn with the kid. A rare nice moment.

The left couldn't let him have it, they claimed he should be investigated for violating child labor laws.

That's why they put the "D" in TDS.

A record number of Americans said they were better off after Trumps presidency. No other president scored higher.

That certainly doesn't mean he was the best president. But sure as hell it means that he helped the country.

Bolton is a washed up has been, consumed by bitterness at his loss of influence.

There are several others who dealt with Trump on a daily basis who do not say what Bolton said, but say the opposite. If your criteria is believing those who dealt with Trump on a daily basis, then you should believe others besides Bolton. But you don't. You pick the ones you agree with. So your stated criteria is horsecrap.
