NEW: John Bolton describes President Trump in new book as a dangerous leader who has used foreign policy to boost his re-election chances.
Bolton writes that Trump did not seem to know that the U.K. is a nuclear power — after more than a year in office — and wondered whether Finland was part of Russia.And he recalls Trump's telling Xi that he supported Beijing's construction of concentration camps to detain Uighurs, a group of Muslims living in China.
Trump on Wednesday signed into law legislation aimed at addressing human rights abuses of Uighurs in China. Bolton writes that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, with whom Bolton repeatedly clashed during his 17 months in the White House, slipped him a note during one of Trump's meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un saying their boss was"so full of shit."
The White House Bolton describes sounds similar to the one in other insider accounts in that he says it is chaotic and full of backbiting staff members, with a president at the center who likes to pit aides against each other and cares most about putting on a show.Bolton, who submitted his manuscript for review by the National Security Council six months ago, entered the White House in spring 2018 as a Trump favorite.
