Washington, DC – John Bolton has worked closely with Donald Trump for over a year. As a national security advisor, he helped the former president on foreign policy issues.

John Bolton on second impeachment against Trump: “a purely tactical partisan matter”
The conservative Bolton has been fiercely critical of the former US president since he resigned in September 2019.

“This operation is doomed to failure, and it is a purely partisan tactical matter,” he says in an interview with the news portal. watson.ch.

John Bolton on Donald Trump – unlikely to run in the 2024 presidential election
An added bonus from a Democratic point of view is that Trump can also be barred from his position at the federal level in the context of a conviction. This should prevent him from running again in the 2024 presidential election. However, for the time being, a conviction and thus a ban is considered extremely unlikely. John Bolton is convinced that the latter would be superfluous anyway.
He explains, “I’ll tell you something: Donald Trump will not run again in 2024.” watson.ch. He sure is. The 74-year-old was very afraid of another defeat in the election.
He will never do such a shame to himself again as he did in the previous election, he is very afraid of it.
Donald Trump’s reason: It’s not just a problem for Democrats
If Trump participated, contrary to Bolton’s assessment, it could cause an uproar. Not just on the opposite political side. The real estate businessman is increasingly controversial within the Republican Party. Some colleagues in the party do not share his convictions. However, on the surface, only a few hold this. This is because parts of the population still support Trump. Even now one does not want to intimidate these voters.
Sooner or later, however, there is a risk of a split between the moderate Republicans and the Trump supporters. According to American media, Trump is said to have even thought of establishing his own party. Then he withdraws his fans from the Republicans. Both his whereabouts and his departure are linked to the problems of the “great old party” that have not yet been solved. (I have)
