President Trump did not mince words when asked about his former national security adviser John Bolton’s rough morning.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI raided Bolton’s Maryland home in an investigation that FBI Director Kash Patel is leading. They also raided his office in DC.
The investigation is reportedly linked to a classified documents probe years ago, but was later shut down under the Biden administration.
As the raid began, FBI Director Kash Patel took to X and wrote, “NO ONE is above the law.”
Trump told reporters he did not have advance knowledge of the raid and went on to slam Bolton as a “low-life.”
“No, I don’t know about it, I just saw it on television,” Trump said. “I’m not a fan of John Bolton; he’s a real sort of low-life.”
Then, Trump paid the disgraced warmonger a backhanded compliment. It turns out Bolton was so ignorant and reckless that his presence ironically redounded to America’s benefit when Trump engaged with foreign leaders.
“When I hired him, he served a good purpose…I’d walk into a room with him in a foreign country, and the foreign country would give me everything because they said, ‘Oh no, they’re going to get blown up because John Bolton’s there,” Trump added.
“He’s not a smart guy, could be a very unpatriotic guy, but we’re going to find out.”

Trump went on to say that he expected to be briefed on the raid today at some point and added, “I tell Pam (Bondi) and I tell the group I don’t want to know about it. You have to do what you have to do.”
