John Bolton reaffirmed the revelations from his book . Starting with Donald Trump's unstable personality : "  I don't think he is fit, cowardly, definitive, the former president's adviser to the ABC reporter. I don't think he has the skills for this function.  "

The former National Security Advisor also talks about diplomatic relations and Donald Trump's meetings with other leaders , including Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. For John Bolton, the American president is unable to conclude agreements in favor of the country.

“  Donald Trump may be a“ deal maker ”when it comes to real estate in Manhattan. But when you are facing someone like Putin ... It is a very delicate position for the United States.  "

The non-impartial dismissal procedure

When the journalist asked him why he refused to testify during the impeachment trial of the president, only to tell it all in a book, John Bolton believes that the procedure led by the Democrats in the House of Representatives was not completely impartial.

He defends himself from any financial motivation and says that he wrote his book to serve the country: "  Whatever my motivations. When is the best time for the American people to see the personality of presidential candidates, except during a presidential campaign?  "

John Bolton concludes by saying that he does not intend to vote for Donald Trump next November and that it would be "  a disaster if he was re-elected for a second term  ".
