Tehran, 18 June_US President Donald Trump is not fit for office and solely focused on getting reelected in the November election, former White House national security adviser John Bolton has said.
“I don’t think he’s fit for office. I don’t think he has the competence to carry out the job. There really isn’t any guiding principle that I was able to discern other than ‘What’s good for Donald Trump’s reelection,’ ” Bolton said in a clip of the interview, which will be broadcast on Sunday.
Bolton said Trump’s obsession with winning a second term in the White House clouded his decisions. In this regard, he cited the president’s meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea last year.
“Well, I think he was so focused on the reelection that longer term considerations fell by the wayside,” he said. “So, if he thought he could get a photo opportunity with Kim Jong Un at the demilitarized zone in Korea, there was considerable emphasis on the photo opportunity and the press reaction to it and little or no focus on what such meetings did for the bargaining positions of the United States.”

"If it weren't for the book, Bolton would have nothing to show for the last four years except the Bunny slippers."
