This is good news. Bolton overplaying his hand by making extreme statements that probably won’t even really be in the book anyway. The more extreme the claims, the less credibility and impact on the election.

Defending Trump means constantly having to denounce former Trump officials whose stories, in a bizarre coincidence, all portray him in basically the same way for three straight frikkin years now. Many of them lauded on FR when they joined. See it yet?

Trump hires the best people. It’s what he says he does.

General Mattis is a “dope”; General Kelly is a “dope”; General McMaster is a “dope”; Secretary Tillerson is a “dope”; AG Sessions is a “dope”; and now John Bolton is a “dope”. Notice a pattern here folks? (& who is the next “dope” to fall? General Milley?) VP Pence, if he turns on him. Out of control. In executive business, this kind of fickle leader and incessant turnover would see the Board ridding itself of such an unstable CEO.

The timing of this tells me the attempt to kill the country by the corona scare failed. The riots failed. Now the Leftists are pushing the Bolton book thru innuendo.

FWICS, the bit about “dispatches (rather than ‘reports’) from hell before breakfast” is correct and the rest spurious; a rejoinder upon hearing a rumor that three reporters had gone missing.
You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better.

The American press is a shame and a reproach to a civilized people…When a man is too lazy to work and too cowardly to steal, he becomes an editor and manufactures public opinion.

"...Trump Encouraged China To Build Concentration Camps..."

.... Really Mr. Bolton .... Did he actually use those exact words? .... Or did it sound more like ........... Detainment Camps ..... For the processing of the masses of millions of Illegal Trespassers crossing our Borders????

Just like Scaramucci. If a self-centered person’s ego is so great, that when his personal feelings are hurt, he is willing to destroy the person who hurt his feelings, even when that person is the only one standing in the way of the Left totality destroying America; does it make that person a traitor?? In my opinion, it foes.

Let’s see a show of hands of readers who are STUPID enough to believe ANY of John Bolton’s claims.

I see NONE.

There’s always a new tale and it’s always something that might appeal to old-time hard-line anti-communists, the one part of the Trump support base that the Democrats need to dislodge in order to stand any chance of winning.

The whole Russian collusion thing was a thinly veiled appeal to old-time anti-communist sentiments, the logic being, Putin is essentially KGB and not really any kind of a reformer, we can’t trust him any more than we could trust the Soviets, so anyone taking favors from him can’t be trusted.

Like Obama, the guy who told Putin’s no. 2 man Medvedev that he could do more in his second term.

But let’s forget about that as an inconvenient factoid, Trump was according to failed narrative A some kind of Putin plant about to betray vital U.S. interests if he could stay in power. Yeah, sure, we see the results of that all around us today (if we are delusional).

So this new track seems to be stirring up the same sentiment only using widely disliked Xi Jinping as the new Putin. It may fool a few people. The president is not exactly famous for carefully scripted remarks anyway, who knows what he might have said off the cuff and later clarified by diplomatic notes or other channels.

Personally I don’t care, the alternative to Trump is a very dangerous plunge into globalist anarchy with the current plan being to advance a nearly comatose individual into the White House. There is not much chance of that individual getting more cognitive function between now and 2021, so the real power behind the throne is likely to be the usual suspects, the innumerable globalists who want to get back to their big pet project of dismantling the U.S.A. — and that can only play right into the hands of China and Russia, so I’m saying, who are the real collaborators?

Sounds like Bolton is trying to convince us that Trump has lost his mind... but only comes across looking like Bolton is the one who needs a one-way ticket to the Loony Bin.

I always knew there was something screwy about this guy by that ridiculous mustache. Some men can pull that look off but Bolton ain’t one of ‘em.

This is like reading the National Enquirer. You do want to read it because it’s entertaining - but you know it’s BS.

I'm like that with stories about the Royal Family. I know it is ridiculous, but I keep reading because it diverts me. Better than worrying about the big issues crowding around us.

But I think this Bolton thing is a worry, because there is a feeling of Deep State around it. It often looks to me as if powerful interests are ranged against Trump, and in favour of instability. They are probably using Bolton.

Bolton is full of sh__. He could have testified at the impeachment hearings, but he would have been under oath. If he had stuck to his book in testimony, he would have committed perjury. If he stuck to the truth, he would have discredited his book before even being published. I hope this book turns into curse for him.

Actually, I could easily see President Trump saying a lot of those things. The guy didn’t make a fortune in entertainment industries by being boring and dull — that’s for sure. LOL.

Remember — this was the presidential candidate who said he’d have Bowe Bergdahl dropped out of an airplane from 30,000 feet. Does John Bolton think it actually happened? Does he really think Trump and AG Barr are conspiring to abduct journalists and have them executed in secret?

The funniest part of all this is that even the zaniest statements Bolton may attribute to Trump are things that most Americans would probably say to themselves about any given issue or story in the news. And that’s what has made Trump such a masterful public figure: People love him because he says the things that are in their minds but they’re afraid to say out loud themselves.

If even half the things Bolton claims in these book excerpts are true, I’m now starting to think Trump hired him just to spend 18 months jerking his chain and making him look like a jackass. LMAO.
