Former national security adviser John Bolton attempted to pacify concerns about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump becoming a dictator by attacking his lack of “brains.”
Bolton discussed his former boss in an interview with the French outlet Le Figaro published Thursday. Trump’s 2024 opponent, President Joe Biden, is making a mistake, according to Bolton, by constantly referring to the former president as a threat to democracy.
“People don’t believe [Biden],” Bolton explained. “Neither do I, because it’s not true! Firstly, regarding the possibility of overthrowing the [American)]republic, let’s be clear: Donald Trump is not Julius Caesar. The American Constitution and its institutions are strong. Trump attacked them by trying to call into question the result of the elections, and he failed. If he wasn’t able to steal the election when he was in the Oval Office, it’s not going to happen in November from Mar-a-Lago. The Constitution is very clear, there will be no third term.”
The reporter pushed, asking Bolton if Trump had any dictatorial tendencies like Caesar. Trump has teased the idea of being a dictator only on “day one.”
“He hasn’t got the brains,” Bolton said. “He’s a property developer, for God’s sake!”
However, Bolton is not rooting for Trump to win in 2024, and has predicted a second Trump term would lead to “celebrations in the Kremlin.” Bolton’s super PAC has yet to endorse a presidential candidate for 2024 despite supporting a number of other candidates on the ballot.

Trump appointed Bolton as national security adviser in 2018, only to have him leave by September 2019. Ever since, Bolton has been a vocal opponent to his former boss. He published a book about his tenure titled The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.
Bolton has also criticized the Biden administration for its support of a ceasefire in Gaza, calling it a “pro-Hamas” stance.
