The American president said this during a conversation with radio host Hugh Hewitt.

During the interview, the journalist asked if it was true that Trump "approved of Xi Jinping's decision to place the Uyghurs in concentration camps," as Bolton wrote in his memoirs.

“He's a liar, just a sick man. I appointed him, and everyone told me not to do this, because he was not all right with his head. I did it and to be honest, I used it, ”Trump replied.

The head of the White House added that every time he entered the room with Bolton, he knew that this way he won the negotiations.

“Because everyone began to think that I want war ... I now understand why we ended up in the Middle East. Because he was involved in this, ”Trump said.

Earlier, the US President called Bolton an evil fool.

According to him, in his book about his stay in the White House, the ex-adviser combined lies and fictional stories.
