Trump quarrel – longtime Bolton resurfaces after the FBI raid on Bolton

The FBI launched a raid on Friday morning in the house and office of John Bolton – National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump from 2018 and 2019 – months after Trump waged the Bolton security authorization in January when he entered his office.

The two men have a long history of beard trading after the release of Bolton from Trump’s first administration – who all degenerated after Bolton sought to publish a thesis in 2020 which included unflattering details on his stay in the White House.

While Trump described Bolton as “Wackko” and “Dope”, Bolton had his just share of hard words for the president.

“I do not think he is adapted to his functions,” said Bolton in an interview with ABC News in June 2020, before the release of his memories. “I don’t think he has the skill to do the work.”

“There is really no director principle that I have been able to discern other than what is good for the re -election of Donald Trump,” said Bolton at the time. “I think he was so focused on the re -election that the longer term considerations fell on the roadside.”

Bolton also described Trump to focus on politics while being very obsessed with himself – to the detriment of national security issues.

“Its policy is so incoherent, so blurred, so not structured, so wrapped around its own personal political fortunes, that errors are made that will have serious consequences for the national security of the United States,” Bolton also said in an ABC interview in June 2020.

The first Trump administration sought to block the release of the Memoirs of Bolton, “the room where it occurred: a memory of the White House”, and affirmed it contained classified equipment.

The book allegedly alleged that Trump had “pleaded” Chinese President Xi Jinping to support Trump’s re -election campaign, and qualified the president as “incredibly informed”.

While the Ministry of Justice tried to prevent its publication on the grounds that the book revealed classified questions concerning American sources and methods of intelligence, a federal judge signed the publication of the book, which was finally published on June 23, 2020.

Meanwhile, Trump discredited Bolton’s claims included in the book and pushed his own insults to Bolton.

“Many ridiculous statements he attributes to me has never been made, pure fiction,” said Trump in a social media position on June 18, 2020. “Just trying to be fired like the sick puppy he is!”

“The” extremely tedious “book by John Bolton is made up of lies and false stories. I said everything about me, on paper, until the day I dismissed him,” said Trump in a separate social media article on June 18, 2020. “An unhappy idiot who only wanted to make a war.

Bolton left his post at the White House in September 2019. While Bolton said he had gone because of his own will, Trump said that he had shot Bolton.

Bolton remained critical of Trump and warned against the possibility of a second presidency of Trump in 2023. For example, he declared in an interview with CBS in April 2023 that it would be a “big mistake” for the Republicans to support Trump again.

“This comes back to the question of character and aptitude for the presidency,” said Bolton in an interview with CBS.

Another edition of Bolton’s Memoirs fell in 2024, which also prompted Bolton to make derogatory comments on Trump.

“I think that if you look at what Trump has done in his first mandate – that I try to describe in the original book – you can extrapolate from what a second term will be, and basically it will be the same except worse,” said Bolton in an interview of January 2024 with ABC News.

“All the things he did that made his presidency dangerous will then be even more pronounced in the second mandate,” said Bolton.

Bolton was not arrested or placed in police custody after the home and office raid on Friday.

Trump told journalists on Friday that he had no knowledge of the raid and had learned to watch television.

“He’s a smart guy,” Trump said on Friday. “But it could be very antipatriotic. I mean, we will discover it. I know nothing about it. I just saw him this morning. They made a raid.”
