John Bolton on why he now wants to stop Trump at all costs | The InnerView

Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton opens up about his tumultuous term during Donald Trump's tenure as President, leading to a high profile falling out and a tell-all book. From Trump’s jibe that Bolton was hated by everyone in the White House to accusations of him being a pro-war hawk who has admitted to being involved in American-backed coups, Imran Garda gains intriguing insight into a man who makes no apologies for his version of American exceptionalism.

[@rmnair90]

Unlike a lot of hosts who exploit their position to strut their knowledge, Imran does not indulge in long-winded, meandering questions. His questions are short, with just the right amount of context. Neither does he butt into the guest's reply. Well done, and thank you, Imran. I wish other hosts would learn from you.

@rmnair90, You've got to be kidding!

[@philipberthiaume2314]

I totally disagree with his argument on why he didn't help the Congress impeach Trump. It was because he had a book coming out. He didn't want to impede on its earning potential and this was a question he was asked in multiple interviews at the time...

[@shivadasa]

Your statement is true only if Bolton’s participation in the impeachment would have spurned, rather than spurred, book sales. And you have no evidence to suggest that either would have happened.

[@davidfoster5906]

Bolton is an empty mustache.

[@TheCharlieCurrie]

His argument was that he could see an obvious loss, but the consensus was that the ONLY way to win against Trump was for Bolton to give his offerings...which weren't forthcoming.

[@johnkinsey5750]

Bolton wanted the USA to go to war. Trump made sure we didn't. Trump was right. Bolton preferred the Bushes who got us in 3 wars. JK

[@karatsurba4791]

For a president to be impeached a majority vote is required for it in both houses of parliament. At the time, only one was under Dems majority. So, everyone who understood the system knew the impeachment would not be successful, unless the republicans turned on trump, for which there was no reason. As regards to a book, i'm sure he's made much more money bringing in "freedom" to countries who don't align with "American economic interest" n probably he had nothing better to do after he was fired by Trump, so timed his book writing for the election year, which is when it would have massive impact.

[@johnkinsey5750]

What does it take for anyone who claims to have common sense to realize that Trump's level of achievement surpasses every president since Eisehower? He stopped ISIS, he achieved 6 major peace treaties, he kept us out of war; he did prison reform, he brought our hostages home without giving our enemies one dime; he made our allies finally pay us for our troops stationed in their countries and for not paying their UN dues; he made us energy independent; he brought back our manufactruing jobs, which Obama had said were lost forever; he created the great USMCA TRADE DEAL, which Biden even admitted was a winner; he controlled the border by getting Mexican President Obrador to install 28,000 troops along the border...and, he built 453 miles of border wall and had the backs of every Border Patrol & ICE agent; his actions reduced human trafficking, drug smuggling; he gave our police what they needed to do their jobs; he gave every Governor what they needed to deal with the Chinese virus; he helped farmers, coal miners, first responders, etc No president ever did as much in just 4 short years. You're angry, Isaac? Blame somebody else; Biden & his pathetic administration have opened the borders & let in more criminals than anyone can count, along with stopping the drilling of our oil, which has made gas prices so high; the terrible inflation we have is due to the idiotic polices of the Leftists. Trump also created enterprise zones, which help to further develop minority businesses. Jesse Jackson once said, "Trump is the best friend of the black community.: He got that right.

Trump is a very complex leader with character. He has tremendous thought processes, superior to nearly every president who has served. He and Eisenhower are the finest leaders we have had, since Theodore Roosevelt. Trump would have never turned over Eastern Europe to the Communist Russians as FDR & Truman did. Nor would he have started 3 wars like the Bushes and the 4th by LBJ. Trump kept his promises; the last Democrat to do so was Grover Cleveland, in the 19th century, though JFK did a great deal of good, despite the infamous Bay of Pigs. Carter, Obama, Biden...three of the worst in our entire history as a nation. JK

...until the duck wins.

[@ajaxada5786]

I was hoping he would run as a third-party candidate.

[@havsumora]

God spare us the Bolton run....

[@gcanyon3114]

Nope. I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. We need strong leadership for a change.

[@spanky7277]

And they called him US National Security Adviser ? Is this why our country was in dire despair . He knew what was going on and Now Bolton is trying to cover up for his own demise . He didn't think Trump was supposed to get Impeached twice ?

[@mjford6152]

Go away John Bolton. No one is going to trust you on either side.

[@patriciaadams4171]

I was HORRIFIED at Trumos choice, but he turned out to be one of the GUARDRAILS.

[@curtmueller4567]

At least Bolton understands government and world politics.trump only knows how to cry and whine and call people who don't totally agree with him childish names

[@mmayes9466]

John Bolton looks out for #1, John Bolton. Nobody else.

[@dutchvanderlinde5004]

I agree with Bolton. If all these dictatorships go away the world becomes much more stable.

[@PeterJohn-hl3ox]

A great interview

[@ellenmclean1529]

This man doesn't look much older than the president , I notice he has no love .😢

[@grego15]

What the heck! We were just getting started on the Ukraine situation! _At least_ spend the same amount of time on the one issue that involves a *_potential nuclear exchange._* I want to hear his strategy and/or key points on how to put an end to Russian aggression *permanently.*

[@Ilsimeone]

I'm not a fan of him, but he's certainly right when he says that a 2nd Trump term would be catastrophic for the US.
