Ex-Trump Official Tells CNN Biden ‘Nailed’ It By Calling Trump A ‘F**king A**hole’
Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton told CNN anchor John Berman that President Joe Biden “had it pretty well nailed” when he called former President Donald Trump a “fucking asshole.”
Tongues are wagging over a new report on how Biden talks about Trump in private — namely, that he calls Trump a “sick fuck” and says things like “What a fucking asshole the guy is.”
Biden, it should be noted, came within a whisker of calling Trump a sick fuck during a very public speech last month.
On Friday’s edition of CNN News Central, Berman asked Bolton about Biden’s assessment of Trump, and Bolton agreed:
JOHN BERMAN: New reporting on how President Biden really feels about Donald Trump behind closed doors, Politico writes, quote, “the president has described Trump to longtime friends and close aides as a sick F who delights in other’s misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description. According to one of the people who has spoke with the president, Biden recently said of Trump, what a blinking blank hole the guy is.”.
I’m joined now by former national security adviser under then President Trump, Ambassador John Bolton, who has a new forward for his memoir, The Room Where It Happened. That forward, titled The Room Where It Will Happen Again in the first line, is “Donald Trump may well be reelected president this November, becoming only the second person to win nonconsecutive terms.”.
Ambassador, thank you so much for being with us that Politico reporting on the choice words that President Biden uses to describe Donald Trump, how closely does that align with your view?
JOHN BOLTON: Well, I think in personality terms, I think the President Biden has it pretty well nailed.
But I would just say this. It’s not the personality of Donald Trump that’s the problem. It’s his lack of competence to do the job, the personalities unpleasant. But many people say, oh, we can we can deal with the personality. I like something else.
It’s not the personality that’s the problem. He doesn’t understand the job, particularly in the national security space. He didn’t learn much in the first four years. He certainly hasn’t learned anything since then.
