Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has expressed to podcaster Joe Rogan that his “biggest mistake” during his presidency from 2017 to 2021 was choosing several individuals for his administration who were not the right fit.
In his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Saturday, Trump asserted that despite his belief that he had a “great presidency,” it could have been even more successful if he had chosen his associates more wisely. “The biggest mistake I made, was I picked… a few people that I should not have picked,” he said.
When Rogan inquired if he was referring to neocons, Trump responded affirmatively, stating: “Yes, neocons, or bad people, or disloyal people.” He specifically criticized former chief of staff John Kelly, characterizing him as “a bully, but a weak person.”
Recently, Kelly has made headlines by alleging that Trump privately praised Hitler while in office and claimed that the former president remarked “more than once” that Hitler “did some good things.” While Trump’s team has outright denied these assertions, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has leveraged the situation to label her Republican opponent a “fascist” and a potential dictator.
Another contentious appointment Trump discussed during the podcast involved former National Security Advisor John Bolton. Trump referred to Bolton as “an idiot, but he was great for me.” He continued, saying, “He is a nutjob, and every time I had to deal with a country - when they saw this whack job standing behind me – they said: ‘Oh man, Trump is going to go to war with him.” Trump noted Bolton’s history, stating that he was involved with President George H.W. Bush during what he described as a misguided intervention in the Middle East in 1990. Trump maintained that he had been vocal about the folly of that decision even before his presidency.
Trump eventually dismissed Bolton in September 2019 after 18 months of service, citing “strong disagreements” on various suggestions.
Bolton, speaking about Kelly’s remarks in a CNN interview, warned that a Trump victory in the upcoming election would be “dangerous” for America. However, he pushed back against the notion that Trump is a “fascist,” explaining that to qualify as such, “you have to have a philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that.”
