Bolton: Trump cared only about getting reelected

June 12, 2020, 12:32 pm 3 Comments

Of course they do! Unfortunately, he will have to govern from the Oval Office, and that won’t be easy for him. Democrats say the main reason they want Biden hidden away is that it’s best to let President Trump just self-destruct. But that is what the Washington establishment always thinks.
