Former national security adviser John Bolton called President Donald Trump’s premature claim that he won reelection a “disgrace.”

Bolton told Sky News that Trump’s decision to say he won while votes were still being counted were "some of the most irresponsible comments that a president of the United States has ever made.”

Bolton said Trump “cast doubt on the integrity of the entire electoral process purely for his own personal advantage. It’s a disgrace.”

Early Wednesday morning Trump claimed he won the election. He also tweeted that he was up "BIG" and accused the Democrats of "trying to STEAL the Election." 

Bolton said it is “entirely possible Trump will win” because the election outcome is still unknown.
