Bolton’s publisher is owned by ViacomCBS.
Nuff said.
The bodies on the scrap-pile of deep-state trash are really piling up.
I find the whole Bolton book affair to be very strange.
I think the book is full of lies and I think it is surprising that Bolton would lie.
I recognize that Bolton is an odd duck. But he’s not Adam Schiff. A big effort to torpedo President Trump so that the Democrats can slip back into power is certainly out of character for Bolton.
Any chance they’ll use the material as fact? LOL! As if we need to ask. And you know the lib lemmings will gobble it up like lemming kibble. They used to hate bolton with a passion. Guess he’ll be invited to all the celebrity balls now.
I’m sure that was his target audience. The sad fact is that in the business world when Trump offended or humiliated someone then there wasn’t a lot they could do. Now that he’s President then those people go out and write a book.
It’s well known and well documented that China’s “friends” in the U.S. government are on the left. Even if Trump were to stoop to such a request, I don’t think China would be lining up to help him.
Bolton missed timing.
Like all the other hate on Trump it’s going to be about as effective as a gnat on a bulldozer.
There is more here than meets the eye. For his entire career John Bolton espoused conservative values, demonstrated love and devotion to America, warned about the danger of the Left and fought them in every forum. Now there is little doubt that he also espouses policies that other conservatives oppose such as American involvement in the Mideast quagmire. Also when serving under Trump he probably did not click with Trump personally and was frustureated that his influence was limited and marginalized.
Yet Bolton understands politics. He knows full well that his “memoir” is designed to hurt Trump and enhance the likelihood of Biden and the hard Left taking control of the Federal government. He knows that would be a disaster for America and contrary to all the values and passions he previously held. So what happened? 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.
There would be absolutely nothing wrong with Trump saying that. He was turning Chi’s complaint around and saying: If you want better relations, give me the deal I want.
Bolton acknowledges that Chi probably wasn’t talking about democrats, of course he meant Trump’s own team including Bolton. Trump brushed that off and pretended that Chi meant the opposition back home.
I’ve used a similar tactic in negotiating, telling my adversary that I needed a certain victory in order to be a “hero” to the rest of the team.
I learned a long time ago from a very wise negotiator, you always have to give “reasons” for the concessions on both sides. You can’t just say I want more, you always wrap your demands in explanations. Trump was just playing Chi, ignoring his complaint as if he didn’t know it was aimed at Trump himself.
A perfect example of a “Disgruntled Ex-Employee”.
From what I’ve read here it sounds like CNN wrote the book ,LOL
There has always been something not right about John Bolt-on.
Remember when many on this forum were practically Bolton worshippers. They should have known.
You can sell anything to the Trump haters those suckers have had a ring in their nose from the day Hillary got her ass kicked.
