John Bolton

... security camp.

And the flip side of it is that people who have opposed Donald Trump, say, for example, ICE protesters, they could be sent to maximum security facilities, or people like John Bolton who have been prosecuted and who are enemies of the president.

You know, he committed a white collar type of crime.

He has no criminal history, so ordinarily you'd expect him to go to a minimum security camp.

Trump knew that, and he resented that.

When he left power after the first term, his biggest regret was having people like James Mattis, his Secretary of Defense, or John Bolton, his National Security Advisor, people who had described him as dangerous, um, uh, J- John Kelly, his former chief of staff, who said he was a fascist, um, Mark Milley, you can go down the list.

He, his resolution was, "If I ever get back to power, I'm going to have people who are loyal to me, absolutely loyal to me." And I would say he actually did one better than that, which was he has a core group of people around him, particularly the group that went through the campaign with him, who almost have a, it's almost a mystical belief in Donald Trump.

It's a, it's a belief that this man, uh, is a figure of destiny, a figure of history, um, that God has put him here to save the country.

This is what they do to the border, 10,000 illegals a day.

And I have learned that next time I'm in office, there are not going to be a Rex Tillerson or Steve Mnuchin or Jim Mattis," whom I know and like, but was not on the MAGA, "or a John Bolton.

We're going to get people who compete with me to enact the-- not oppose, not obstruct the MAGA agenda.

And we're not gonna tre-treat the symptoms, we're gonna treat the s- causes of progressive power." And that, that only came because he was tragically defeated, and that was a good thing, I think, in some, in retrospect, because it gave him breathing space to regroup and let the country see.
