John Bolton has strongly suggested he will seek the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, running on the idea that America needs a “much stronger foreign policy.”
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Good Morning Britain, Bolton, who served as a National Security Advisor under President Trump, said if he decided to run, he would “get in to win the nomination and I would do it primarily on the basis that we need a much stronger foreign policy.”
Bolton added that he believed it is “important that it’s understood not just in Moscow, but it’s understood in places like Beijing, that unprovoked aggression against your neighbors is not something the United States and its allies will tolerate.”

Despite being unpopular himself, Bolton declared that the “support” for former President Trump within the Republican Party itself is in “terminal decline,” and that his campaign wouldn’t be as a “vanity candidate,” but would be standing as someone with a serious chance of winning.
Bolton had previously hinted in December that he would make a bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Speaking to NBC, he said that if potential Republican nominees for President didn’t make “Shermanesque statements” denouncing and attacking Trump, he would have to step in.
“We’ve got perhaps a dozen or more potential presidential candidates looking to 2024,” Bolton stated on NBC’s Meet the Press NOW. “I think every one of them, before they declare their candidacy, should say, ‘Donald Trump was wrong. We repudiate him. He doesn’t belong in the Republican Party.'”
“When you challenge the Constitution itself, that is un-American,” Bolton tweeted. “This is serious business.”

President Trump fired Bolton in 2019, and lambasted him multiple times as an “idiot,” including in a recent interview with Revolver News’s Darren Beattie. “He was such a nutjob,” Trump said. “If we would’ve listened to him, we would’ve been in three world wars by the time we finished!”

trump kept putin and china off our backs and the backs of their neighbors. Trump secured the border by getting Mexico to place 28,000 of THEIR troops between their side of the border and ours. Trump got the arab states to sit down and talk trade with Israel. Trump gave us cheap gas, food prices, flow of trade, opportunity zones, (google trump accomplishments white house entry). I don’t care what he says, I don’t care about his tweets, I care about the country and her people, don’t like him shut him off or vote in primaries for new people, something not taught in civic classes anymore….you get the government you didn’t for in the primaries.

I guess if you don’t like the tweets that Trump put out while he was our 45th President, just look at what his policies did for the American people. He made us energy independent. Joe Biden took that away from us. President Trump secured the Southern Border. Joe Biden invited every person that thought they were abused to come to America via the Southern Border. President Trump kept Russia, China and North Korea in check. Joe Biden is a puppet of the aforementioned countries. The democrats tried to impeach President Trump twice. Once for a phone call to the President of Ukraine where he congratulated him for his win in their election. Once for tell his followers to march PEACEFULLY to the Capital to make their voices heard and was “charged” with an insurrection. The person that actually cased the incident at the Capitol was never arrested and charged with the “insurrection”. Leave it to the LAME STREAM MEDIA to try someone in the press with no evidencr at all. Hitler brainwashed the Germans in the 1940’s. This administration is brainwashing the American people in 2022.
