John Bolton: 'Substantial' belief five countries spreading lies on Trump team dysfunction
by Daniel Chaitin | June 11, 2019 12:41 PM
National security adviser John Bolton named five countries he believes are spreading lies about dysfunction in the Trump administration.
“We have substantial reason to believe that North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and China have made a decision to — and you can see it publicly — to try to sow disinformation about the administration, and to say that the president and his advisers are divided, and things like that,” Bolton said Tuesday during a Wall Street Journal event in Washington, D.C.
Asked about reports about President Trump appearing to break with him on North Korea and Iran, Bolton blamed the media in the U.S. for spreading the misinformation. “The stenographers of these regimes in the American press immediately pick it up,” he said.

What he's saying is that all the reports about how certain members of Trump's staff have been insubordinate and/or sabotaging his agenda are fake news. Even if the reports are from conservative sources. Fake news. It's all propaganda created by North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and/or China.
In other words, he's now attacking the base and accusing people like us of being useful idiots for America's enemies. And when I say he thinks we're "useful idiots," I mean "useful idiots." He thinks we're stupid enough to believe that "oh, he's just talking about the left-wing media." No, he's not. He's talking about all media, including pro-Trump media. You know, the pro-Trump media that's reporting the insubordination/sabotage in good faith because they want this administration to succeed?
If that disgraceful display of arrogance doesn't convince you that Bolton is part of the Deep State, then I don't know what else to say.
I like Bolton.
Just saying...
Welcome to FR.
Better get your asbestos flame suit on.
Read THAT statement carefully.
What do you think it means?
I like Bolton too.
He stirs the pot.
Very weak take on a nothingburger quote and story. Come back when you have actual evidence or an actual point.
You know what I Like about Bolton?
He aint here to be exalted
Honestly, we are suppose to use the original headline. You are welcome to your opinion but not just an open editorial and making it look like the Wash. Examiner said this initially.
Get off the weed, it is making you paranoid...
Funny thing, Bolton and Trump never back down.
Why? Do you have a positive opinion about all the neocon wars and misery they have inflicted all over the middle east on the basis of lies or something?
Who did what now?
Apparently there was no sin until America. /s
That Chavez guy was great...
Have never trusted or liked this big ol’, Deep State neocon.
I think you’re a nut case. Bolton is great.
He stirs the pot.
I think most of us like the persona of John Bolton, but many of us are uncomfortable with his Neocon mind set.
And by the way, you owe me a new touch screen after reading your tag line.
I voted for Donald Trump because I was tired of Ivy League globalist pr!cks running this nation’s foreign policy. Anyone who still thinks the invasion of Iraq was a good idea shouldn’t even be allowed to clean the toilets in the White House.
“I like Bolton too. He stirs the pot”.

We already have a pot stirrer, aka President Trump. What we really need is aTweeter Whisperer to buffer/scrub his Tweets.
Bolton was brought on to be the ‘bad cop’. I can guarantee that he doesn’t ‘go off the reservation’. His perceived ‘ultra-hawk’ reputation lets POTUSVSG come off as reasonable. He is filling that role pretty well, otherwise the President would have let him go.
He does what he has to do.
