Trump offered ‘personal favors to dictators he liked’, says book | Daily Mail Online
ohn Bolton’s bombshell memoir contains new instances of alleged misconduct by President Trump including agreeing to back off criminal probes as ‘personal favors’ to certain dictators.
The book also contains a claim that Trump pleaded with Chinese President Xi Jinping to boost U.S. food purchases, describing it in terms of his own election. Trump regularly touts a deal to pause the China trade war as one of his chief accomplishments.
A new book excerpt obtained by the New York Times contains the claim about the criminal probes. Bolton writes that in cases involving China and Turkey, Trump was willing to ‘in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked.’
Well that’s not good.
