Trump Triggered, EXPLODES Over John Bolton Book
Donald Trump has been outraged over the last twenty-four hours over claims made by his former National Security Adviser John Bolton in a new tell-all book. Last night, the President went on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show and said that Bolton is breaking the law by revealing “highly classified information.” Trump simultaneously tries to argue that John Bolton is lying and that he’s revealing top-secret information, which doesn’t add up. Trump also has been on a Twitter rampage, at one point attacking Bolton as a “disgruntled, boring fool who only wanted to go to war.”
While John Bolton is a horrible neo-con and an architect of the Iraq War, his claim about Trump does make sense and sounds believable. This does not mean we should be praising John Bolton, but it also doesn’t mean we can write everything off that he says just because he’s a bad person. Certainly some of Bolton’s intentions are selfish: he wants to stay relevant, make money, get back at Trump, etc. However, hearing out Bolton’s claims and observing Trump’s refusal to address them leads me to believe that Bolton is the one telling the truth here.
SHOCK: Trump OK'd Concentration Camps, Wants Reporters "Executed"
John Bolton makes some serious allegations against Donald Trump that, if true, would justify the President’s immediate removal from office. Bolton claims that Trump approved of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s plan to build concentration camps to imprison the Uyghur ethnic minority. Trump also allegedly said he would be willing to end criminal investigations into major Chinese and Turkish companies in return for favors from their respective governments. Other assertions include Trump not knowing that the United Kingdom had nuclear weapons and wondering whether Finland was a part of Russia.
Every one of these allegations match up with Trump’s behavior and his history. He has tried colluding with Russia, and Ukraine, and now China gets added to the list. Trump is dimwitted and has authoritarian tendencies, which also get reinforced by Bolton’s claims. We knew Trump was dangerous and this book makes him look even worse. In fact, the assertions John Bolton is making are so bad that it makes it unconscionable that he would wait so long to release them.
From yesterday’s show:
Police Stand By as Protester is Attacked
Police officers in Bethel, Ohio were caught on camera observing an anti-Black Lives Matter protester assault a BLM supporter, and they did nothing to intervene. The cops were more interested in defending the actions of the right-wing mob than they were protecting the First Amendment rights of a left-wing protester. The attacker needs to be identified and arrested, and the multiple officers who stood and watched need to be held accountable.
