Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has revealed that President Trump was keen on granting persecuted, white South African farmers “asylum and citizenship” in a 2019 meeting, while Bolton was trying to convince the President to start a new war in the Middle East.

FLASHBACK: Bolton Lauded Trump For ‘Reversing’ Previous Presidents ‘Surrendering’ To China

While former National Security Adviser John Bolton is determined to cast President Trump as soft on China – leaking portions of his forthcoming memoir alleging his boss sought assistance from China in the 2020 election – Bolton insisted that President Trump had “reversed” previous administrations’ “surrender” to China at a 2019 Wall Street Journal Chief Financial Officer Conference.
