Former national security adviser John Bolton  tweeted on 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 is heard saying in the clip. “I want my people to do the same.”

    His own National Security Advisor speaks against him. That should normally raise a lot of red flags.

      Anybody who hasn’t already seen the dozens of red flags isn’t going to care about one more.

        What if most of the red flags are not real or manufactured, and the other side has just as many red flags?

            The funny part is that if you actually engaged with what I am saying, you would list a bunch of things that are either completely false or exaggerations or just different opinions. The issue is that you are being lied to and your sources of news suck.

              The funny part is that actually engaging a bad faith troll is a waste of my time. You did kind of prove my point though, so thanks for that.

                That is all you guys do is insult and say nothing of substance. Hopefully you will see the error of you ways before the country is destroyed, but probably not.

                  And all you’ve done is ask some bullshit hypothetical question about “both sides”. Don’t start crying about how that deserves a fully researched response with citations. It got exactly the response it deserved.

                  If you want to destroy the country, the convicted fraudster and rapist who promised to be a dictator on day one is a sure-fire way to do it.

                    Okay good, you actually made a claim “convicted fraudster and rapist”. He was not convicted of rape, and the fraud he was convicted of was complete and obvious bullshit to anyone that knows thing one about real estate.

                    I am telling you, trump was not a good president, but all the things you believe are based on bullshit.
