Trump–Bolton feud back in focus after FBI raid: ‘Never had a clue … what a dope!’
“Wacko John Bolton’s ‘exceedingly tedious’(New York Times) book is made up of lies & fake stories. Said all good about me, in print, until the day I fired him,” Trump said in a separate social media post on June 18, 2020. “A disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war. Never had a clue, was ostracized & happily dumped. What a dope!”
Bolton departed his post at the White House in September 2019. While Bolton said that he left due to his own volition, Trump claimed that he fired Bolton.
Bolton was not arrested or taken into custody following the raid on his home and office Friday.
Trump told reporters Friday that he had no knowledge of the raid and learned about it watching TV.
“He’s a, not a smart guy,” Trump said Friday. “But he could be a very unpatriotic. I mean, we’re going to find out. I know nothing about it. I just saw it this morning. They did a raid.”
