I went to Amazon, seriously considering buying Bolton's book but then I found this indepth article by the New York Times, outlining the major points in the book. Worth the read.

Trump's knee-jerk reaction is to strike back, always. He is accustomed to people backing down so he continues with this tactic. He apparently thinks he can scare the authors and publishers of these two books (John Bolton and Mary Trump) into standing down.

These attempts at intimidation have generated so much publicity, book sales will be impressive.

Every time Trump attempts to block these books Bolton and Mary Trump hear the sound of a cash register going "ka-ching.

T thinking it's ok that the Chinese gov't imprison Muslims is pretty sick. No news here though. I don't want to read anything about T and how morally deficient a loony tune he is. Carry on.

Not only does Trump approve of China's genocidal treatment of the Uighurs, he has even spoken approvingly of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. Trump is one sick piece of crap.

President Donald Trump in 1990 said China had showed the "power of strength" when its troops massacred hundreds, possibly thousands, of pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square the year before

Advance copies have already gone out to the media. Bolton is due on Steve Colbert's show. Trump has as much chance of stopping this book as he does of cutting open a golf ball and stuffing all the rubber bands back into it.

If distribution is stopped, the contents will still be out there, and that will make it a much more attractive topic of discussion for the media than it would be otherwise. It won't be long before someone bootlegs it and posts a .pdf on the internet.

What it really looks like is that Trump is trying to boost sales of the book. Every time he tweets, advance sales go up. If he was really as smart as some here think he is, he would have shut up and let the book fade into obscurity along with Bolton, who had been all but forgotten after he refused to testify during the Impeachment Hearings. What Trump has done is pushed Bolton's book into the number one slot on Amazon.

The Orange Hydroxymoron shoots himself in the foot once again.

As side not it's almost humorous the latest champion of the left is warmonger Bolton.
He may end up in jail anyway for aiding and abetting the crimes he claims in his book were committed by Trump and not blowing the whistle immediately or testifying about them during the Impeachment Hearings. As long as he's going down, let's all see what he has to say.

NOBODY, on the left, BTW, has any love for the War Walrus, even if he takes down Trump. He is merely a useful tool.
