Trump Harshly Criticizes Bolton

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] John Bolton, former National Security Advisor to the White House, pointed out that President Donald Trump lost the presidential election and that Republican leadership should explain this fact to their supporters. President Trump responded emotionally, harshly criticizing former advisor Bolton.

On the 15th (local time), former advisor Bolton appeared in an interview with ABC News and said, "President Trump lost the election, and it is important to explain to voters, who are not as foolish as the Democrats think, that the claims of election fraud are baseless." He added, "The facts confirmed through lawsuits filed in battleground states consistently show that the claims are unfounded," and mentioned, "What the Trump campaign is doing right now legally is like drawing a line and flipping a coin (relying on luck)."

Former advisor Bolton stated, "It is very, very clear that there is no evidence anywhere that this election was fraudulent."

He also expected the Republican leadership to soon acknowledge this fact. He said, "The Republicans will speak when they are ready," adding, "This will be a kind of identity test for the Republican Party." He continued, "I do not agree with the claim that President Trump attracted Republican voters or that Republicans cannot accept the truth. That is a superstition."

President Trump reacted emotionally to these remarks. Through Twitter, he criticized, "John Bolton was the dumbest person among those I worked with at the White House for 'fun,'" and said, "He was sullen, dull, quiet, and did nothing but say 'let's go to war.'"
