Former National Security Adviser John Bolton had a succinct response when asked to describe former President Donald Trump’s mug shot: “Yup. Yup.” In an interview, Bolton was asked if he had seen the infamous orange-hued photograph of Trump during his impeachment trial. Bolton’s response reiterated his disdain for Trump’s behavior and highlighted their strained relationship. Though he didn’t elaborate further, the four-letter word implies a negative sentiment towards Trump, which aligns with Bolton’s scathing critique of his former boss in his book, “The Room Where It Happened.”.
John Bolton didn’t hesitate when asked to describe Donald Trump’s glowering mug shot, released after the former president was booked on Thursday in the Georgia election interference case.
“He could’ve smiled. He could’ve looked benign. Instead he looks like a thug,” Bolton said on CNN, using a racially charged word.
Bolton, who served as national security adviser under Trump, said the image was likely carefully staged, as most things are around Trump.
“I think it’s intended to be a sign of intimidation against the prosecutors and the judges,” he told CNN.

Bolton also had harsh words for most of the other Republicans seeking the presidential nomination after six of eight participants in Wednesday night’s debate said they would support Trump if he wins the primary even if he’s convicted.
“I think there were six wrong answers and two right answers,” Bolton said. “You cannot believe in a law-and-order philosophy and say it applies to everybody except Donald Trump.”
He added: “In any sane society, somebody who’s a convicted felon should step aside.”
Bolton said the Republican National Committee should have a rule forcing a convicted candidate off the ticket.
Like many who served under Trump, Bolton released a tell-all book bashing his former boss and has made regular appearances in the media speaking out against the ex-president.
Trump has fired back by calling him a “liar,” a “dope” and a “sick puppy.”
Bolton has said in the past that he voted for Trump in 2016, but not in 2020, when he wrote in the name of a conservative candidate instead. He added that he would do the same next year if Trump is the Republican nominee.
