Trump without a plan? Former security advisor Bolton warns of chaos!
John Bolton, Donald Trump's former national security adviser, is critical of the ex-president's first actions since returning to the White House. He sees no overarching strategy behind Trump's decisions and describes his actions as chaotic and instinctive. “It’s always about what benefits him personally,” Bolton explained in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. This applies not only to tariffs on Canadian and European goods, but also to Trump's handling of NATO and the Ukraine conflict. Bolton warns that Trump is endangering America's standing in international politics and that military threats to control strategically important areas such as Greenland and the Panama Canal cannot be ruled out.
Worrying developments
Bolton also emphasizes his concerns about Trump's future plans for Ukraine. Although Trump says there have been conversations with Vladimir Putin, Bolton says there is no evidence of this and that Trump occasionally makes things up. “There are probably low-level discussions going on, but Trump doesn't seem to be taking a clear line,” Bolton continued. The current rhetoric from Trump's allies, such as Vice President J.D. Vance, who is proposing a ceasefire based on the current fronts, could be met with enthusiasm in the Kremlin after Bolton.
In the USA, the work of the DOGE cost reduction committee under the leadership of Elon Musk is currently causing a stir. Bolton said many Republicans want to cut government spending, but that would only happen through deep social cuts. Bolton also warned of possible negative consequences in the defense sector, as Musk should also be looking for savings options there. “Republicans in Congress are worried and wondering what Musk is up to,” Bolton said.
Regarding the discussion about Trump's political influence, Bolton explains that he does not believe that Trump could overthrow the Constitution. “Our constitution is stronger than Donald Trump,” he concluded in a conversation TIME ONLINE.
