Former national security adviser John Bolton went on a tirade against former President Donald Trump over continuing his 2024 campaign despite the federal indictment against him.
Bolton served as Trump’s national security advisor for over a year, but the two had a falling out over their many policy disagreements.
Bolton has become a fierce critic of Trump, recently telling CNN that Trump did “enormous damage” to the Republican Party and the country as a whole.
On Friday, Bolton went on a Twitter tirade against his former boss.
“Donald Trump should immediately withdraw as a candidate for president. Criminal charges are piling up around him. If Trump truly stood for America First policies, he would support the rule of law instead of continually flouting it. Withdraw now!” he said.
Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, also a 2024 presidential candidate, called for Trump to drop out as well, saying it would be a “huge distraction” during the election cycle.
Trump Denies Wrongdoing
The indictments unsealed on Friday before Bolton’s comments are the second set of charges, but first federal charges, Trump is facing. He was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records earlier this spring in Manhattan.
Those charges originate from hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, regarding her alleged affair with the former president before the 2016 election.
The latest charges reference classified material found in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. He was charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, an Espionage Act violation, along with six other charges related to the documents.
Trump has argued that the investigation into the documents is politically motived, especially as similar charges against former Vice President Mike Pence were dropped and a nearly identical investigation against current President Joe Biden has been carried out mostly behind closed doors.
Whats it to him??
What does he gain?Damn RINO
Sour grapes POS. Should have been taken out.
Bolton is a war monger and Trump is not!
true thank you
Exactly.
Seems to me that Mr. Bolton does not likes president Trump being against using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, witch Bolton would love to use.
Bolton is a POS that is going to get his revenge for being recognized as such and being dumped for it.
I despise Bolton. However, I admire his honesty in this case, for calling out Trump for his serious misconduct while in office❗️
Since Trump didn’t have any serious misconduct in office, I congratulate you for the most ignorant, inane, insipid comment I’ve read today. You must be one of those communist democrat lemming troll forked tongue snakes infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome complicated by Trump Jealousy. You and your ilk are only slightly less offensive than RINOs like Bolton, but both of you are enemies of We the People.
There was no serious misconduct. Fake news.
BULLS…..
Bolton is a closet Dem as well as a closet comrade in deep state pedos. Who cares what he thinks. Be gone old cousin to Joe.
DUMB IDIOTS. ALL OF THEM. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT AGAINST A FORMER PRESIDENT. THE GOOD HE HAS DONE FAR OUTWEIGHS THE BAD AND MISUNDERSTOOD. THIS COUNTRY IS SINKING. FEW PAY ATTENTION AND HARDLY ANYONE SEES THIS AND HARDLY ANYONE DOING A THING. ONLY A FEW FIGHTING BACK. A FEW REPUBLICANS!
US OLD FOLKS OUR HANDS ARE TIED. WE ARE IN THE END. WE EXPECT THE YOUNG FOLKS TO RISE UP AND FIGHT BACK. A FEW HAVE AND A FEW IN PRISON BECAUSE!!!! BUT THEIR FUTURES AT STAKE NOT OURS. WAKE UP AMERICANS AND TAKE CHARGE. HAVE SOME BALLS
YOU ALL!!!!
Bolton & others … what is your proper basis for trying to encourage a proven leader to not stand up to misuse of taxpayer dollars via improper misuse of the DOJ, the FBI & some rogue prosecutors & judges? If nobody stands up to those much greater evils … then those greater evils will likely become the norm for the vast majority of the USA & even “other countries potential misapplication of legalese minutia”!
Bolton is a war monger and is just another mistaken appointment. The real problem here is that Trump can never part company with anyone without calling them some names and making an enemy of them. It’s stupid and I don’t know why he has to do it. I think the deep state is going to win this one, Schumer was right when he said they have 7 ways from Sunday to get you. They will keep him tied up in court, one BS indictment after another until people are so sick of it they vote for someone else.
John Bolton is not running for President of the United States..He is entitled to his opinion and that’s all it is.
Donald Trump was the best President we have had for a very long time.
America was thriving under his leadership. I only hope to see him as President again. The damage to this country under the Democrat rule is beyond imagination. It will take someone like Donald Trump to restore it.
Why would anyone care if Bolton likes Mr. Trump or not or whether he thinks Trump should run or not? Yet, it’s become his raison d’etre, hasn’t it. When that’s all you have to say, it’s time to stop and reassess what kind of person you’ve become. Sad
what does it mean that my comment is “awaiting moderation”? PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!!!!!
Bolton Walrus and other RINOs can join hands with and holler all they want , it gets them nowhere!
Beauty (Not) fades but Truth – MAGA never dies !
Bolton is a tiresome man who never has anything useful to say to add to civilized conversation. I hate that so called news services even bother to quote him. He does not have a role in government, but his reason for existence seems to be to foment war and to see if he can do some harm to Trump. Hopefully he will fail in both endeavors. He is a very useless old man. Actually, I just checked and he is only 75 years, but looks older, and is full of nothing but bitterness.
Who is paying Bolton’s bills? The Chinese probably. This guy likes war makes him look important, at least in his mind. God gives everyone a brain – Bolton’s just failed quality control.
