Long-standing Trump-Bolton hatred surfaces after FBI raids Bolton

The FBI raided a raid on Friday morning John Bolton – president Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor in 2018 and 2019 – Trump robbed Bolton’s security clearance a few months after taking office in January.

These two men have a long time. The history of trading barbs After Bolton quit Trump’s first administration – all of which escalated after Bolton tried to publish his memoir in 2020, including some unflattering details about his time in the White House.

Trump labeled Bolton as “wacko” and “gold soup,” but Bolton was quite harsh in his attitude towards the president.

“I don’t think he’s suitable for office work,” Bolton said in a June 2020 interview with ABC News before the release of his memoir. “I don’t think he’s capable of performing this job.”

“I don’t have any guiding principles to tell anything except for reelection for Donald Trump,” Bolton said at the time. “I think he was so focused on reelection that the long-term considerations were abandoned.”

Bolton also described Trump as lacking attention to policy while also paying great attention to himself – harming national security matters.

“His decisions were so incoherent, so unfocused, so unstructured, so surrounded by his personal political destiny that he made mistakes that would have serious consequences for the national security of the United States,” Bolton said in an ABC interview in June 2020.

The first Trump administration tried to block the release of Bolton’s memoir, The Room That Happened: The White House Memoir, and asserted that it contained confidential material.

The book accused Trump of “pleading” with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s support for Trump’s re-election campaign and called the president “amazingly uninformed.”

Meanwhile, Trump discredited Bolton’s assertions in the book and threw his own insult at Bolton.
