    It would be impossible to exaggerate the Fatman's ignorance, stupidity and dishonesty - it's as simple as that.

    Who cares. The administration lies when the truth will do. Who to believe on this is a no brainer. It isn't the first time that Trump begged a foreign leader to help him. See: Call with Mexico's President. Trump groveled like whipped puppy.

    Pompeo just called him a "traitor" -he said "I was in the room too" ( referring to Bolton's book title)
    sanders ( old press sec. ) said Bolton always had his own agenda, not the POTUS agenda

    Bolton is a narcissist

    review in the New York Times
    the moment he cites as the real “turning point” for him in the administration had to do with an attack on Iran that, to Bolton’s abject disappointment, didn’t happen.

    In June 2019, Iran had shot down an unmanned American drone, and Bolton, who has always championed what he proudly calls “disproportionate response,” pushed Trump to approve a series of military strikes in retaliation.
    You can sense Bolton’s excitement when he describes going home “at about 5:30” for a change of clothes because he expected to be at the White House “all night.” It’s therefore an awful shock when Trump decided to call off the strikes at the very last minute, after learning they would kill as many as 150 people. “Too many body bags,” Trump told him. “Not proportionate.”

    Bolton still seems incensed at this unexpected display of caution and humanity on the part of Trump, deeming it “the most irrational thing I ever witnessed any President do.”


    Bolton, the cold bureaucrat of the D.C. war machine, was prepared to kill innocent people. Trump wasn’t. Yet we’re told that it is Trump who is corrupt and unpresidential?

    well we agree on the dangers of the Bolton's of the world.

    Biden is much the same -supported the Libya war, wanted to build a middle class in Afghan (nationbuilding)
    Supported arming the FSA in Syria (who lost their weapons to al-Nusra )
    Partitioning Iraq,

    Biden is a laughable dweeb -Xi is pleased

    Yes, prob true but trump was told that before he hired him..

    While it may play well for a few days, I don't see anybody really changing their minds about trump..

    Those that love him will deny/ignore it, those that don't like him will believe all of it.....
