Former national security adviser John Bolton  tweeted on Tuesday that former President Trump wants to be treated like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un  and people should “get ready.”

Donald Trump  wants Americans to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jung Un. Get ready……” Bolton posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Bolton, who served as the national security adviser under the Trump administration, posted a viral clip of Trump speaking with Fox News’s Steve Doocy in 2018, where the former president offered praise for the North Korean leader.

“He’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention,” Trump is heard saying in the clip. “I want my people to do the same.”

    The US bolsters NATO, Taiwan, South Korea, and the rest of our allies, Trump is an extreme isolationist, pro-Putinist, Pro Kim Jong Un, and despite his BS, Pro Xi, if he pulls out of NATO, flips on all of our alliances it will break the current world order, and bolster a world order of fascist tyrants. Trump is also talking about some pretty extreme measures at home, and I doubt we’ll all just take it, loyalties are going to he divided, we’re weak AF right now and primed for a collapse, which will also upset the current world order. Also people may not like the idea of world orders, but what we have is much better than the alternative that guys like Trump, Putin, and others offer.

    The reason why we’ll weather things better under Biden is that he’s competent, surrounds himself with fairly competent people, he’s not an isolationist, and MAGA/GOP are one presidential loss from total collapse, especially now with the Trump’s in full control of GOP finances.

    So yeah, that’s why.

      Sorry man but those are talking points not policy stances. He is not pro-everyone, its just just how he acts. The real way to tell what the truth is to look at the score board and see that Biden has gotten us into two wars in four years and trump did not. I believe that if Trump were the president last term, Putin wouldnt have invaded Ukraine.

      Biden is that he’s competent, surrounds himself with fairly competent people

      Oh my god, this is just so dumb. I can point to a bunch of different things they fucked up beyond recognition. This has objectively been one of the worst administrations ever. The only one worse one in the modern era would be Bush.
