Bolton: Trump does not have the ability to make decisions; The situation in the world is becoming critical

According to RCO News Agency, Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton, who served in this position for 17 months from April 2018 to September 2019, the president-elect’s claims that he is in a unique position to resolve international conflicts in Ukraine. and rejected Gaza.

Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Bolton called the president-elect a “typical Trump” and said: “It’s all bragging.”

At the same time, Bolton warned that Trump was poised to take office in a “more dangerous” world than when he was first elected, adding that he worried about the instability of Trump’s decision-making, which he likened to “a series of neurons.”

Bolton, 76, noted that a re-elected and emboldened Trump could be even more “unruly” a second time.

“He is now more confident of his re-election, which makes it harder to impose any kind of intellectual decision-making discipline,” he told the British newspaper.

“The risk of a 19th-century international crisis is much more likely in a second Trump term,” Bolton said. “Given Trump’s inability to focus on coherent decision-making, I’m very concerned about what this might look like.”

The Guardian wrote that even before taking office, Trump started making unreasonable requests from foreign countries, which surprised even some of his advisers. He threatened Canada and Mexico with 25 percent tariffs—and joked about turning Canada into America’s 51st state—and even offered to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal.

Bolton also said that Trump is jealous of Russian and Hungarian leaders Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban.

“Putin and Orban don’t have independent parliaments and intrusive judiciaries, and they’re doing great things that Trump can’t do and he just wishes he could do everything,” he said.

Bolton said he believes Trump views his relationship with Putin as a friendship, but that Putin believes “Trump is an easy target.”

According to reports, Bolton was fired from the first Trump administration at the insistence of Tucker Carlson. As a senior diplomat in the administration of former US President George W. Bush, he was a staunch defender of the Iraq war, which he continues to defend.

Bolton’s own former colleagues claim he distorted information to suit his own biases, including unsubstantiated claims that Cuba was trying to develop biological weapons. Trump once described himself as “the one who infuriates Bolton,” not the other way around.

“Trump’s second term is likely to lead to a 19th-century international crisis because he is said to have poor decision-making skills,” Bolton said.

He stressed: “The risk of an international crisis of the 19th century is much more likely in the second term of Trump’s presidency.”

He also dismissed claims by the president-elect and his allies that Trump is the only one who can end the war in Ukraine and Gaza, adding: “The world is more dangerous than when he was president. “Our only real crisis was Covid, which is a long-term crisis and not against a specific foreign power, but against a pandemic.”

Bolton said of Trump’s first administration that he believed the duties of the presidency would “discipline” the president’s decision-making strategy, but it turned out he was wrong.

The former US ambassador to the United Nations stated: “When I got there, there were a lot of pre-established patterns of behavior that never changed and I might not have had an impact even if I had been there earlier.”

He told the Guardian that while he agreed with many of Trump’s calls, they sounded like “a series of nervous reactions.”

“Trump also appears to be ignoring national security briefings and foreign policy competence and emphasizing personal appeal,” said a former US national security adviser. He doesn’t know much about foreign policy. He is not much of a singer. He reads the newspapers from time to time, but the op-eds are almost never read because he thinks they are not important. He does not think about these facts.

“He thinks he’s looking the other person in the eye and they’re making a deal, and that’s important,” Bolton added.

John Bolton resigned as National Security Advisor in 2019. According to reports, the reason for Bolton’s resignation was Trump’s opposition to his ideas for a decisive response to North Korea’s missile launch and increased pressure on Iran and Venezuela.

Trump’s inauguration will be held on January 20.
