Bolton’s book makes it clear: Trump is the amoral charlatan we knew he was

Michael Fuchs explains how former National Security Adviser John Bolton's new book illustrates how dangerous President Donald Trump has been to the United States and the world.

John Bolton’s book is a reminder that, contrary to all of Trump’s claims to be “tough” on China, in reality Trump fawns over China’s President Xi Jinping, his China policies are counterproductive, and Trump has repeatedly sold out the American people to China to advance his own personal interests.

From encouraging Xi to continue ethnic cleansing against Uighurs to asking for China’s help in his 2020 re-election campaign, Trump’s actions make it clear why Chinese officials believe that Trump is good for the Chinese Communist party (CCP).
