"Ex-Trump Adviser John Bolton: Trump Lacks the Brains for Dictatorship"

Former national security adviser John Bolton criticized Donald Trump's intellectual capacity and professional background, stating that the ex-president "hasn't got the brains" for dictatorship. Bolton, a vocal critic of Trump, warned that a second Trump presidency would be worse, citing Trump's episodic and transactional approach to decision-making. He also expressed concern that Trump might act on his threat to pull the US out of NATO if re-elected, as Trump has repeatedly criticized European members of the alliance for not paying enough.
