The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.”

Trump loves dictators and autocratic oppression.

He was just fine with Duterte's war on his own people in the Phillipines too.

I don't care what party affiliation Bolton has.

If someone is publishing a 'bombshell' book to say that Trump is a person of very bad character, that was established a long time ago.

I'm not defending Trump. I'm defending the results of an election, the office of the presidency, and the peaceful transfer of power. This grueling four year long takedown has ruined the country. It's been worse than having a bad president.
There was a peaceful transfer of power in 2016. Now when Biden wins in November Trump will be screaming "rigged election", "voter fraud", "deep state coup", etc., etc., and will quite possibly have to be forcibly removed from the White House.

The only thing Trump did with tariff's was increase the price of stuff. Then caving, bringing the rate back to what it was before he started a tariff war. Trump lost that one.

Nobody cares. Lol
Someone cares.

“On Tuesday, the Trump administration asked a federal judge to block publication of John Bolton’s The Room Where It Happened, the former national security adviser’s twice-delayed kiss-and-tell memoir of life in the Trump White House. Last week, Simon & Schuster, Bolton’s publisher, announced: “This is the book Donald Trump doesn’t want you to read.”“

This was not a peaceful transfer of power. Maybe he peacefully took his place in the WH, but these four years have been takedown after takedown. Even a pandemic has been weaponized.

If Trump loses, he will be on the golf course shortly thereafter. This idea of the military having to remove him is preposterous. By November, this country will be a burned out, looted, rioted Covid-infested Mogadishu. Biden probably won't even want it. But we can tell him that Ebola is gone and he can take his place in the Senate, and he will be happy. So all will be well.

If Bolton wrote about the hijacking in his book, and it was funny, then yes I would laugh.
That's the point, Bolton is a joke, and his book is not to be taken seriously.

It's apparent EVEN Bolton found DJT so OFF the Rails even he couldn't abide with the ethics DJT promoted and demanded!! THAT's what's so amazing.. Bolton was always known as the "Warmonger" type..BUT even he was taken aback with mindset of DJT!!

It's not unexpected//He blocks anything and everything that COULD expose his Corruptness.. then his VP stands up and repeats DJT's lies~~
It's about time USA get rid of the GARBAGE in the WH /POTUS and his appointed ones, who will DO HIS BIDDING!! Trump was NOT an unknown entity..However, He' duped enough American's that allowed him to defund/deregulate/ smear most Government Services.. those Multilevel ones' that has secured America for decades+++

We've heard time and time again from Trump's associates just what kind of man he really is. Trump cares only for himself. He relies on his dupes in the general public to keep deflecting.
For Bolton to actually describe DJT> this way given Bolton's history is really a bombshell!! Tho, his LACK of involvement/avoidance in the Impeachment hearing makes me dislike the man who now seeks$$$ with his book! l Bolton, has never been my favourite person.. But even HE knows/knew back then > EVIL Incarnate when he see's it!!

Bolton will forever more be painted as a traitor to USA by not testifying during the Impeachment hearings and left the "Patriots" who did Step up out on a limb!!

Offering normalization of relations to foreign governments is nothing new. Bush did it with Libya. Obama offered it to Syria which rejected it since the US reneged with Libya. They've since offered it to North Korea, Venezuela, and others but no one takes the US at its word.

Bolton and Pompeo taking money from Israeli PACs before taking natsec jobs is probably a bigger thing. Many hundreds of thousands have died as a result of Israel's interest in expanding its territory in the Middle East. Cable leaks included Israel among the governments planning for the US war against Syria in 2011.

You can't be effing serious. Biden's son walked away with $1.5 billion in bribes from China and you think they want Trump as president instead? Liberalism is clearly a mental disorder.
