John Bolton Dismisses Trump Dictator Talk With Brutal Observation
HuffPost
Trump's former national security adviser shut down a comparison between the ex-president and Julius Caesar.
John Bolton named what’s missing from Donald Trump when asked if he thinks the former president shared dictator-like characteristics with Julius Caesar.
“He hasn’t got the brains! He’s a property developer, for God’s sake!” Trump’s former national security adviser recently told France’s Le Figaro newspaper in an interview translated by The Telegraph.
The remarks from Bolton arrive months after Trump, in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, said he’d act like a dictator only on “day one” if he returns to the Oval Office.
Bolton, in response to President Joe Biden’s comments that Trump would be promising an “assault on democracy” in the future, told Le Figaro that it’s a mistake to threaten the country with an “apocalypse” if Trump were to return to the White House.
He declared that Trump is not Caesar before adding that the Constitution and its institutions are strong.
