Bolton says Trump ‘can spend a little of his own money’ on legal defense

John Bolton, a former national security adviser to former President Trump, said Monday the former president “can spend a little of his own money” on his legal defense.

“People who worry about whether poor Donald Trump’s going to have enough money for campaign purposes and legal bills … he’s a gazillionaire, ask him, he’ll tell you frequently. He can spend a little of his own money,” Bolton said in an interview on NewsNation.

“Well it befuddles me why anybody would give a billionaire money to pay their own legal bills,” Bolton said.

Trump’s campaign confirmed last weekend the former president raised $7.1 million since he was booked at the Fulton County Jail last week, where he became the first U.S. president to have his mug shot taken.

He’s right. That’s what the justice system is for. To drive politicians on the wrong side of the aisle into bankruptcy.

Bolton, who I once thought was pretty good, can use some of HIS own money to buy himself a much- needed gag

I trust Trump will have to spend his own money at some point, because how much will $7.1 million buy in defense, even if his lawyers work pro-bono some of the time because of the principles of justice.

Let’s hope that it won’t be a lot.

he is not even a ‘has-been’ — more like a ‘never was’ but a legend in his own mind.

Bolton is walking clickbait. He runs his mouth hoping someone will listen to him and he can become relevant.

Despite hoping for a patriotic streak to show Bolton has turned out to be nothing more than another Merrick Garland. They are despicable, small-minded, vindictive little men bent on some sort of revenge because they were once rejected for a job that they felt they were entitled to ... sorta like PIAPS.

Bolton says he’s “befuddled” as to why anybody would
donate money to a billionaire to pay his legal bills.


I just know Bolton is “befuddled” by a lot of things......snx.

This narrow-minded jerk cant see the forest for the trees.
