Bolton claims Trump called for scumbag journalists to be 'executed'

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton reportedly claims in his forthcoming memoir that President Trump called for scumbag journalists to be “executed.”

Bolton said Trump made the comments during a meeting last summer in New Jersey, according to a copy of Bolton's book obtained by The Washington Post.

During the meeting, Trump said journalists should be jailed so they would have to expose their sources, Bolton wrote.

“These people should be executed. They are scumbags,” Trump said, according to Bolton's account chronicled in the memoir, “The Room Where It Happened.”

"You don’t think Obama didn’t want to ruin some journalists?"

He was after the ones who reported negatively on his deal with Iran. Republicans Senators too. That's why he spied on them.

Ha!
That’s a big plus as far as many Trump supporters are concerned.
I have no problem if Trump ranted to his cabinet about executing the leakers and the liars in the media.
Those people are traitors.
Bolton is a traitor too.
I will applaud his hanging from the gallows.

We all let wishes come out at some time or another. Doesn’t mean we do it.

LOL!! Sherman definitely hated reporters. I read a bio of his a while back where he arrested a reporter that he found in his camp, and told the reporter that there was a train leaving at such a time the next morning, and that he better be on it.

I guess the commie media is going to leak the book out, a line at a time, for maximum damage.

I hope that scumbag Bolton sells 12 copies of it.

For a guy who loves his country, Bolton sure knows how to destroy it.

Maybe so. And sometimes, I’m tempted to agree.

“I am hard pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” Bolton wrote, according to the Post.

Did Bolton detail exactly and precisely how he knows that? So, while he was going home and writing down notes, he was in the Oval Office reading Trump’s inner thoughts.

If anyone was going to be executed by Trump, it would be you
Bolton. I might even agree with it...

LOL

As far as I am concerned, Bolton has put himself above the
nation here, and I am not amused.

Yup. He won’t work in DC... most likely he’s being interviewed by CNN. CNN hires, liars and losers.

Reminds me of Coach John McKay’s response to the question. “Any comments on your team’s execution?”

“I’m in favor of it!”

Wow, we say that everyday.
Substitute the word ‘scumbags’ for ‘traitors’, or ‘Marxist Fifth Columnists’

Unless Bolton is complaining that Trump didn’t follow through on this threat, he really needs to shut it.

So what’s the problem? If that’s one of the main talking points from his book...

Nothing burger!
