[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] U.S. President Donald Trump strongly criticized former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton, who harshly criticized his and his administration's foreign policy in his memoir, saying "All he wants is bombing."

On the 25th (local time), President Trump, in an interview with Fox News, said, "(Bolton) was neither smart nor sharp," and "He did not do his job well." The interview took place after Bolton's memoir was published on the 23rd.

In the interview, President Trump particularly took issue with Bolton's personality, recalling, "I worked with him for over a year, but I don't think I ever saw him smile, so I once asked, 'John, do you ever laugh?'"

In the interview, President Trump also mocked his rival, Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden, saying, "He can't even put two sentences together when he talks," and "Nonsense is happening." Former Vice President Biden mistakenly said at a Pennsylvania campaign rally that 120 million people died from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on that day.
