Bolton\u200d believes that if\u2064 Trump were \u200dto win reelection in 2024,\u200c it\u200b could lead to a constitutional crisis in the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;One of\u200b the greatest dangers that a second Trump term brings \u2064would be a constitutional crisis,&#8221; Bolton\u200b told CNN&#8217;s Jake \u200cTapper. \u2064He explained that the major concern lies\u2063 in the possibility of key leaders \u2064resigning, which could\u200c ultimately bring down major institutions\u2062 in the country.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Threat to Institutions<\/h3>\n<p>Bolton highlighted the \u2063potential impact of Trump&#8217;s choices for key positions, such as the attorney general. He raised the question of what would happen if the attorney\u200b general refused to carry out Trump&#8217;s orders and resigned, leading to a \u2064mass exodus\u2062 from the Department of Justice.\u200b Bolton also expressed concern about \u200cthe consequences of Trump \u2064giving illegal orders to \u200dthe\u2064 career military, resulting in their resignation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think that\u2019s what we\u2019re \u200cgoing to have, not so much the threat of Trump asserting his authority \u200cas the breaking down of institutions,&#8221; Bolton emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite his concerns, Bolton still believes in the resilience of the country&#8217;s institutions if Trump were \u2063to be reelected.\u2063 He expressed confidence that as long as there is an independent judiciary, the \u2062country would ultimately turn against\u2063 Trump, even if it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bolton-says-second-trump-term-could-bring-constitutional-crisis\/\" title=\"Bolton warns of potential 'crisis' in second Trump term.\">meant facing legal battles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The question is, just because Trump tries to do it, do you think\u200b the institutions simply dissolve? I don\u2019t think that happens,&#8221; Bolton stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Bolton&#8217;s Criticism of \u200cTrump<\/h3>\n<p>Bolton has\u200c been openly \u2064critical of Trump since his departure as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-to-pardon-gen-michael-flynn-per-report\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump to Pardon Gen. Michael Flynn, Per Report\">national security adviser<\/a> in 2019. He\u200c has even accused Trump of mishandling \u200bclassified documents during his presidency, claiming to have witnessed it firsthand. Currently, \u200cTrump is facing multiple charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think\u200c he was kind of a collector of things that he thought were of interest to\u200d him for some reason or another\u2063 \u2015 clippings, mementos, classified documents,&#8221;
