John Bolton says Trump's White House was 'like living inside a pinball machine'
WASHINGTON – If he had been a senator during President Donald Trump's impeachment trial earlier this year, John Bolton says he probably would have voted for a conviction.
He was unmistakably mimicking Trump's controversial photo op this month when the president held aloft a Bible in front of St. John's Church after protesters had been cleared from his way in Lafayette Square in Washington. Four months before the election, Bolton, 71, is out with a book that portrays Trump as incompetent, uninformed, incurious, erratic, enamored with foreign strongmen, obsessed with his reelection and driven solely by self-interest – in a word, unfit to be president."He's almost proud of not learning much about the subject matter of national security," Bolton said. He called working in the Trump White House"like living inside a pinball machine.
'Impeachment malpractice' by the HouseHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also denounced the book, but not because Bolton makes damaging allegations against the president. It's because he didn't make them sooner. According to Bolton, at a summit dinner in Japan last year, Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to increase purchases of American soybeans and wheat to help his reelection prospects in farm states. He was"pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win," Bolton writes, to use China's economic clout for his political benefit. Bolton says he recorded Trump's exact words but was ordered to delete them from the text during the government's review process.
