Former US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on what he calls the 'dishonest media' and his former National Security Advisor John Bolton, accusing them of spreading pro-Putin propaganda. The outburst comes ahead of a critical meeting that could shape international relations.
Trump's Fiery Critique
In characteristic style, Trump didn't hold back, labelling the media as 'totally corrupt' and Bolton as a 'disgruntled former employee'. He claimed both were attempting to undermine his legacy by promoting a narrative favourable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Bolton's Controversial Role
John Bolton, who served under Trump before their very public falling out, has been vocal in his criticism of the former president's foreign policy, particularly regarding Russia. Trump's latest comments suggest he views Bolton's interventions as part of a wider media conspiracy against him.
The Timing Factor
This explosive statement comes at a sensitive diplomatic moment, with crucial negotiations looming between US and Russian officials. Political analysts suggest Trump may be attempting to position himself as the tough-on-Russia candidate ahead of potential future political ambitions.
The ongoing feud between Trump and Bolton continues to provide dramatic fodder for political observers, with neither side showing signs of backing down from their respective positions.
