Former national security adviser John Bolton said 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 said in the clip. “I want my people to do
the same.”
Bolton
joins a list of former Trump officials who are warning of his return to power,
just after he clinched the Republican
nomination for president and will face off against President
Biden in the polls this fall.
The
clip of Trump speaking highly of Kim follows a meeting between the former
president and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump received sharp criticism for meeting with the
Hungarian leader, who said he hopes to see Trump return to the White House.
After
the meeting, Trump said Orbán is a “Great Leader” who is “respected all over
the World.” The former president has also favorably commented about Adolf
Hitler on multiple occasions.
In
the past, Trump has said that he would not be a dictator if he were reelected, “Except for day
one.”
