Former National Security Advisor John Bolton predicted on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump will not run for president in 2024 because of “fear” of losing another election.

Though the former president has been teasing a presidential run ever since he left office last year, Bolton believes Trump isn’t actually seriously considering running for another election. 

“I don’t think Trump will run for the presidency in 2024. He very much fears losing in 2024 because if he hates anything in the world, he hates being called a loser and the last thing he wants is to go into history having lost these last elections,” Bolton told iTV host Robert Peston on Wednesday. 

Bolton went on to say that he thinks Trump knows “deep inside” that he will lose the 2024 elections. Bolton, who served as Trump’s national security advisor from 2018 to 2019, said he thinks Trump will talk about running “incessantly” until the last moment.

“If he was ever to say that he was not going to be the candidate, it would turn the spotlight off and he doesn’t like that,” Bolton said.

The former president still hasn’t conceded the 2020 election to Joe Biden and continues to say that the election was “stolen” from him. He believes that Biden only won the elections because of widespread fraud.
