Former national security adviser John Bolton derided President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law during a private speech last week and suggested his former boss’ approach to U.S. policy on Turkey is motivated by personal or financial interests, several people who were present for the remarks told NBC News.
According to six people who were there, Bolton also questioned the merits of Trump applying his business acumen to foreign policy, saying such issues can’t be approached like the win-or-lose edict that drives real estate deals: When one deal doesn’t work, you move on to the next.
The description was part of a broader portrait Bolton outlined of a president who lacks an understanding of the interconnected nature of relationships in foreign policy and the need for consistency, these people said.

Tucker Carlson pegged this guy perfectly earlier this year. He said this jackass is typical of foreign policy “experts” in Washington whose primary goal is to keep sh!tty foreign engagements forever because “We have to be patient!” is the only way to indefinitely defer the realization that their nation-building bullsh!t has been an utter failure.
Bolton, we need you to save the country. PRIMARY Trump and shoe him that the people support your positions and not his!
But John, maybe *we* don’t want Orwellian perpetual war either.
“Bolton also questioned the merits of Trump applying his business acumen to foreign policy, saying such issues can’t be approached like the win-or-lose edict that drives real estate deals: When one deal doesn’t work, you move on to the next.”
Hmmmm, I don’t know. It seems the US has seen more foreign policy victories under President Trump than under the last 4 administrations. The last foreign policy victory was the Berlin Wall falling and the fall of soviet communism. I know it happened under GHWB but the truth is it was Reagan’s diplomacy that led to victory in the Cold War.
Bolton has discovered how to get to sit at the popular kids table for the first time in his life. All he has to do is attack Trump and he’s in with the cool kids. Increasingly looks like he’s going to jump at the offer.
As he sees it. Opinions and rectums
I wonder how much ‘personal interest’ Bolton has in backing continuous useless wars.
I wonder how much the Military Industrial Complex is paying him to be a warmonger.
I would believe that Trump’s self interests align with the overwhelming majority of other American’s self interests...
Bolton has greatly disappointed me with his actions here.
Wonder if he thinks he’s making ‘new friends’ on the Dem side? He’ll find out. They still don’t like him.
He’s just being a useful tool for the moment, nothing more.
It sure didn’t take long for that scheming little globalist weasel to come out of his hole.
The Iran Nuclear Agreement was done entirely by Obama and totally for Obama’s personal interest and was to be the legacy of his eight years in office. Obamcare was to be his legacy, but he saw that crash and burn.
The sale of 20% of our uranium to the Russians by Hillary Clinton was soley for her personal interest and we got nothing in return. Meanwhile, back at the Clinton Foundation they were rolling in the dough.
On matters of national importance I'm glad Trump is willing to listen to different points of views and not just a room full of "yes men". The issue isn't that Trump welcomes a diversity of opinions, it's that he's trusted establishment hacks. And that includes Generals. They all feel entitled to go beyond offering a different perspective and actively work to undermine him. Mattis, Kelley, McMaster, Tillerson... guys who agreed to work for Trump and then dishonorably worked against him behind his back from the start. They took those jobs with that intention and therefore they are not men of honor.
I'm not sure Bolton planned to work against Trump. I think he figured that (from his perceptive) since he's obviously the smartest guy in the room, Trump will realize he's in over his depth will defer to him. Trump listened politely and then decided to do otherwise and eventually I guess Bolton couldn't accept it and Trump had enough and cut him.
I think between Kelley, Tillerson, McMaster, Mattis, and Bolton (and let's thrown in Sessions on the off chance that he recused himself to allow the deep state to attack) Bolton is the least offensive. He's been spurned and he's lashing out through proxies, that's all.
First time I’ve ever seen a picture where Bolton actually has teeth. Not that you could ever see it with that huge caterpillar on his upper lip.
So Bo,ton thinks Trump wants to put up a resort on the Syrian Turkey border??? LOL, LOL, LOL
Sounds more like NBC wanting clicks
during a private speech last week ... according to six anonymous people who were there ... apparently a larger number of anonymous sources must make the fake news seem somewhat less fake?
this was just Bolton’s first stop on his book tour:
“Bolton has been writing a book, having reached a deal with Simon&Schuster, and people present for his remarks in Miami said he suggested to the audience several time that if they read it, there would be much more material along the lines of of what was in his speech.”
“Those who were there” - new name for leakers or nonexistent sources, I suppose. And what is this: 3 people who were there confirmed, 4 people who were there confirmed, six people who were there confirmed ... this is a new twist. So some of them heard what others didn’t hear, and others didn’t hear what some of them did.
My father always told me you can’t put sh-t on a cake and call it chocolate icing.
Bolton: Another turn-coat unmasked
And .... how much was Bolton the whore paid for that speech?
