Bolton writes that in a direct conversation with Xi, the American president seemed to imply that China could influence American politics, and more specifically had asked him to increase the amount of soybeans and wheat that China purchased from the United States, because it was important for voters who had helped Trump win in 2016.

The book of Bolton, which has long been waited for, represents Trump as an uninformed president who sees the Department of Justice as his personal tool, prioritizes his personal interests, and in the miopik form processes every decision through the lens of how such a re-election would affect him as president.
Trump accused Bolton of publishing classified information in that book, and meant that he would have to face criminal charges.
