Bolton book says Trump asked Chinese president for help winning reelection
CBS News ^ | June 17, 2020 | Grace Segers

Washington — President Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton alleges in a new book that Mr. Trump pushed Chinese President Xi Jinping in trade negotiations to agree to purchase American agricultural products in order to boost Mr. Trump's political standing with U.S. farmers and help him win reelection.

In an excerpt of Bolton's book, "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," published by The Wall Street Journal, Bolton condemns what he calls the "incoherence" of the president's trade policy and his focus on winning a second term. The excerpt was published minutes after stories about the memoir's contents appeared in The New York Times and Washington Post, both of which said they had obtained copies of the book ahead of its June 23 release.

I looked through an advance copy and honestly Trump comes off better than I expected. Less organized and empathic than Bolton would like but not uninvolved or uninterested in policy in the least.

Another Deep State agent? PDJT seems to be surrounded by them and does not seem to recognize them.

So furking what? It’s his job to bolster the U.S. economy, and that encompasses trade policy.

"Evidence? ..... "

.... LOL .... You don't need any Evidence in an Election Year .... The trick here is to put Trump on Defense ..... Which they have successfully done ...... The Book also accuses the President of Sanctioning the use of Concentration Camps and Pompeo saying POTUS is Full of Sh*t (According to Drudge)

He just discredited the whole book with that ridiculous claim. Might as well say DT was hitting up Iran for campaign contributions.

Obviously a lie because China hates Trump and ginned up the cv19 crisis so that it would be a major problem for Trump.

No they haven’t successfully done what you say they’ve done.

The only people who believe this low IQ claim are Jim Acosta and anyone who believes Jim Acosta.

Get it?

“Probably ‘unnamed sources”

What I was thinking. They don’t need evidence. They set the blaze and leave it for the Repubs to clean up.

"Thank you, SeeB.S. Now I don’t have to go out and buy the book."

I just pre-ordered Diamond and Silk's book (Uprising: Who the Hell Said You Can't Ditch and Switch -- The Awakening of Diamond and Silk) that's coming out in August. I don't usually buy books about current events, but I wanted to give them the backing.
