If former President Donald Trump wins another term in the White House, Russian leaders will be celebrating, Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton said Sunday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin voiced support for Trump’s likely general election opponent, President Joe Biden.
“Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” Putin said during an interview with Russian state media last week. “But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.”
Bolton called the comments a “clear disinformation effort,” by the Russian leader, “to give Trump the opportunity – which he is foolish enough to take – to say, well, I thought that was actually a compliment to me,” Bolton told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki.
