    Here are portions of what John Bolton's book contains.

    Trump did not know the UK was a nuclear power and had to ask Teresa May if it was.

    To people in power, he doesn't realize or doesn't care if he sounds dumb if he's asking these questions, but to the media and the public he tries so hard to sound smart in public, he pretends to be a 'very stable genius' to his base, but with world leaders he's more genuine, which is -- dumb.

    He also told President Xi of China, that China was 'right' by sending those Muslim minorities to camps and also bragged about "everyone" in America was keen for him to change the Constitution and serve more than two terms and that "many people" are talking about how to change the laws just for Trump to stay, to which Xi nodded and said 'yeah, more Trump, we like that'.

    In one of his delusional trips, Trump was talking at a meeting in the US about how Venezuela "actually is a part of the US" and how cool it would be to invade it but in meetings with Putin, he backtracked because Putin doesn't want Maduro out, so he convinced Trump that Guaido the opposition was the Hillary Clinton version in Venezuela. This all happened around the time of the meeting in Helsinki.

    Bolton also talked about how clueless he is about the UK and Finland and how he offered personal favors to dictators like Erdogan from Turkey and about his deals with Iran " I will take care of the investigations ". Regarding Turkey, Bolton said Democrats should have not limited the scope of the impeachment to just Ukraine. Bolton also said and how pretty much everyone in the White House laughs behind his back.

    it does not matter what Bolton's book says about trump...he will not lose a single supporter

    the trumpers will still be lined up in Oklahoma this weekend to worship their king

    Covid 19 be damned ... no masks and no social distancing required

    kinda sad actually

    And a year before Bolton claims he approved of the Chinese Muslim camps, the WH soundly condemned them. It's sour grapes but I hope he separates some fools from their $.

    Does it matter if what Bolton says is not true or are you just assuming that it is? Covid 19 be damned, seems like nobody bothered to tell the BLM folks to stay home or wear a mask or not to burn down anything. Trump won't lose a supporter because

    the alternative is a Democrat in the White House.If you enjoyed the Democrat Party's total abdication of responsibility during these riots, you're going to love how they turn into iron-fisted dictators if they win in November and start looting the rest of us to rebuild the cities they

    allowed the rioters to destroy.There won't be any talk of "justice" or "fairness." Your Democrat overlords will not give a rat's ass about your hardships, the pressing needs of your family, the damage your business suffered during the lockdown. They'll ruthlessly tug out your wallet

    and empty it without mercy. And if you object to what Democrats are doing - if you make a single peep about how it's unfair to loot the law-abiding to pay for damage inflicted by rioters and incompetent Democrat mayors and governors - you'll discover how little they really care

    about "the right to protest."That goes double for law-abiding black citizens who were fortunate enough not to live under Democrat misrule during these turbulent weeks. If you object to paying for the depredations of rioters in other cities and states, you will swiftly discover that

    you're not really black. God help anyone, of any ethnicity, who dares to object to the titanic redistribution of wealth victorious Democrats would impose in 2021, "justified" by the riots they aided and abetted in 2020. You'll be treated far worse than the rioters ever were, including

    the murderers.You're going to discover that under Democrat rule - as previewed in their hellhole cities during these riots - you don't have any real "rights." You have what the ruling party thinks you "deserve." No individual right will be allowed to stand in the way of their

    righteous agenda.

    Bolton's a "deep stater" now in the mind of the fever swamp. He spoke ill of dear leader. You must not speak ill of the chosen one, or you're a anti-American liberal commie/RINO socialist shadow government deep stater.

    Hmm.... in the early potion of Trump’s tenure the MSM were significantly critical of Bolton, but, now that he’s trashing Trump, I will be curious of how much he will be embraced by them.
    I was personally happy to see him go, thinking the combination of Bolton/Trump not a combination I was excited to see.
    I haven’t read his book and haven’t decided if I will. I wonder how much of what he wrote stems from being disgruntled and/or is an attempt to capitalize on making money from those Edgar for anything disparaging toward Trump. Well, we will see if his accounts are collaborated by others of first hand knowledge. But then, I am a cynic, I am skeptical toward most in Washington, regardless of their political allegiance, and even more so of the MSM profiteers.

    The reason Bolton adamantly refused to testify before congress is that such testimony didn't pay any money, so he buried it and waited for when it would pay money. Now he's dug up the juice box and he get's beaucoup money and never has to go under oath.

    But he could find his ass in court for libel and maybe revealing classified info.

    Can't criticize dear leader, eh?

    BTW, Bolton is a piece of crap. But so is his former boss.

    Bolton's book will surely do that very thing. Were you afraid it wouldn't?

    In six months it'll be in the $5 bin and we both know it. Or the DNC will buy up every copy to hand out at their convention...and make it a fake best-seller.

    Sad that your hero who claims to hire "the best people" apparently hires nothing but deep staters. Maybe he's the head deep stater himself?

    Sad you invent what's never been in evidence.

    Equally valid is the idea that he did hire nothing but Deep Staters, but in Washington it's hard to spot all of them until they show their true colors. Nixon had hellacious turnover, as did Jiminy Peanut of JAWja and Rompin' Ronnie --- my hero --- and every other President thereafter. The number of tell-all books is almost impossible to total if both sides are counted. Ain't nuffin gnu, y'all. Bolton's just cashing in while he can.

    Looks like Republican president's just like hiring deep staters and swamp dwellers. Trump's just following his GOP predecessors I guess.

    It's really funny how UNIVERSALLY, the accounts from within the whitehouse that Trump is incompetent. AMAZING how everyone's story is absolutely consistent. Isn't it weird how they all got their lies stright? Totally obvious it's just sour grapes and they all lie. Trump is a stable geniius, everyone knows this.

    Clearly the consitency of the story proves they all lie, cuz they hate and fear Trump's 3d chess when they are all playing tic tac toe.... :roll:

    I would dismiss what Bolton says if it weren't for the fact that there is a line of ex Trump administration officials that have been equally critical. That should make people pause.
