John Bolton’s book looks like a fairy-tale for Trump haters
American Thinker ^ | 06/18/2020 | Andrea Widburg

The Trump administration has sued to stop John Bolton’s purported “tell-all” from being released next week on the ground that it is filled with classified information that affects national security. That suit hasn’t stopped Bolton’s publisher from leaking the supposed “bombshells” in the book.

Those bombshells will excite Trump haters, but those who support Trump will immediately recognize them as lies, deliberate misinterpretations, and resentment. Expect the activist Democrat media to sing the book’s praises, but that won’t change the outcome of the November election.

The book’s biggest alleged bombshell, which Bolton writes about in the Wall Street Journal (paywall), is his claim that, in June 2019 at the Osaka G20, Trump begged Chinese President Xi Jinping to help him get reelected. According to Bolton, Xi said that America’s relationship with China was important and that it was wrong for some in America to want a Cold War. Trump countered that Democrats were hostile to China and then, says Bolton, the begging started:

Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win. He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome.

The implication is that, having used Putin to win in 2016 (something that the Mueller Report reluctantly conceded was false), Trump is now using Xi to win in 2020. This contention is ludicrous.

Throughout his presidency, Trump has dedicated himself to ending thirty years of bad trade deals with China, all of which profoundly damaged American workers. There’s no way he would beg Xi for election help or that Xi would grant it.

"IMHO John Bolton has a dark secret in his past that the Left somehow now knows. This hit job memoir to help Biden is no accident. Bolton has been compromised and is behaving accordingly."

~~~~~

IMO, credit for that blackmail info on Bolton most likely goes to the Brennan - Clapper -- Comey-supported illicit supercomputer at Ft. Washington -- aka "The HAMMER"...

I think Bolton's motives are purely about Bolton "slipping back into power".

Certainly I don't understand Bolton. But I would be surprised if he expects a cushy job in the next Democrat administration.

There has always been something not right about John Bolt-on.

Bolton is 71 and not looking for job. I bet he’ll get piles of cash on the rubber chicken circuit to trash POTUS.

Bolton, was a never Trumper out of the gate, but then he gets on Hannity and the other shows, and acts like he’s on board.

Eventually he’s hired into the inner circle, and from all accounts, the guy is at every meeting taking scrupulous notes. I mean they says the guy has a yellow note pad and he’s writing like crazy.

Clearly, his plan was to get in there, and start writing his book.

We know now, that he’s a fraud, and a coward and a bunch of other things.

He’s the guy that has got us into these wars, and upset when we pull out like Syria and other places.

They need to release his book online, so the book sales will be zero.

This place needs a laughing smiley for your post claiming this is so out of character for the loser Bolton. He did the same type of BS to Bush as well. The guy is a total slug.

I meant Xi and I guess I used the politically incorrect spelling.

Remember when many on this forum were practically Bolton worshippers. They should have known.

"My version is that Bolton and Trump are in it together."

Rope-a-dope. A good way of screwing both demRATs and the LMSM at the same time.
