Bolton says Trump ‘can spend a little of his own money’ on legal defense

John Bolton, a former national security adviser to former President Trump, said Monday the former president “can spend a little of his own money” on his legal defense.

“People who worry about whether poor Donald Trump’s going to have enough money for campaign purposes and legal bills … he’s a gazillionaire, ask him, he’ll tell you frequently. He can spend a little of his own money,” Bolton said in an interview on NewsNation.

“Well it befuddles me why anybody would give a billionaire money to pay their own legal bills,” Bolton said.

Trump’s campaign confirmed last weekend the former president raised $7.1 million since he was booked at the Fulton County Jail last week, where he became the first U.S. president to have his mug shot taken.

The anti-Trumpers are continuously baffled that the old game doesn’t work.

The rule was hat if a Republican was accused of anything, the conservative right would abandon them post haste because any Republican must not only be clean but beyond reproach to the point of soy deference to leftist assault tactics. Oh oh, someone unsanctioned is leading, time to break out the David Duke “endorsement.”

In this way they control who we are permitted to choose from in elections by dunking the ones who aren’t with the uniparty. That was then. Then … is over.

Their problem is that we’re on to this game especially vs Trump since they’ve been running the same con with variations on him since early 2016. The accusations of grabbing didn’t work. Name calling was met by counter fire and memes. Impeachment hoax 1 and 2 failed. COVIDmania worked but everyone’s on to that one now. So now criminal charges and it only makes people more resolute.

… side thought: they go to this “his own money” thing so often that one wonders if there’s a long buried statute somewhere that they intend to use on him, perhaps if campaign funds and personal funds are mixed or some such.

Bolton is a liberal, jealous of other people’s money.

Bolton fails to understand that the people elected those that are committing the treason against Trump, so we are ALL in this together because after Trump they are coming after us. Bolton is just a war hawk liberal, as are all democraps.

Another useless Bolton quote posted just to induce venting. Wake me when MAGA pickets show-up where he works, or somebody produces some other item of real news about him.

Surely, Bolton has committed some sort of crime somewhere. You can bet that if he was speaking out on Trump’s behalf, the Biden regime would be putting him under a microscope and searching the criminal code for his crime.

It is fitting that We the People foot President Trump’s legal bills. He is being Indicted for all us, so that we may be free. Thanks for the remnider John, I think I’ll send another fifty smackers his way.

“Well it befuddles me why anybody would give a billionaire money to pay their own legal bills,” Bolton said.

And it befuddles me as to why anyone would want to hear the excrement that dribbles from your ignorant pie hole, you warmongering narcissist blowhard.

I have not liked this idiot since he came on the scene, toting his bullshit in a briefcase and trying to convince everyone that he was the ace, the number one, the one that Trump would swoon over, and completely devoid of any foreign policy experience, or any experience, for that matter.

A pox on his nasty ass.

Trump gave up his Presidential salary for four years. What did you give up a-hole?
