Bolton explained how the nature of Trump’s dealings with authoritarian leaders represents a departure from traditional diplomacy, indicating Trump's preference for power dynamics over democratic norms.
When asked about Trump sending Covid tests to Putin, Bolton noted that while the practical implication of the gesture is unclear, it undeniably illustrates Trump's unusual affinity for authoritarian leaders.
In discussing Trump's past statements about wanting rivals to suffer from Covid, Bolton remarked, 'I’m grateful that he was thinking about me, what can I say, during a crisis like Covid.'
Bolton emphasized that Trump's actions and thoughts often reveal a deeper fascination with strongman rule, suggesting that it's precisely this inclination that underpins Trump’s interactions with global leaders like Putin.
