A former national security adviser in the Donald Trump White House has said that the ex-president āhasnāt got the brainsā to helm a dictatorship, despite his admiration for such rulers.
In an interview with the conservative French outlet Le Figaro, John Bolton, 75, was asked whether Trump had tendencies that mirror dictators like the ones he has previously praised. Bolton not only disparaged Trumpās intellectual capacity, he also disparaged the former presidentās professional background, exclaiming: āHeās a property developer, for Godās sake!ā
Now a vocal critic of Trump, Bolton served as the former presidentās national security adviser from April 2018 to September 2019. Bolton had previously served as US ambassador to the UN during George W Bushās presidency, developing a reputation as a foreign policy hawk.
Boltonās remarks to Le Figaro suggesting Trump is not smart enough to be a dictator will almost certainly do little to allay fears on the political left at home or abroad about a second Trump presidency.
After all, Trump has suggested he plans to be a dictator, if only for the first day of his presidency if he were re-elected.
Why are we listening to John Bolton?
This. Heās such a weaselly little bitch.
Yep, āEx-Trump adviserā is a mild way of referring to the guy who gets a hard-on at the thought of war with Iran.
Its really getting tiring that we just listen to whoever says the words we want said. If John Bolton gets praised by anyone but the neo-cons, they have lost their minds.
