Trump sues to block Bolton book
-
Much of that alleged black and white thinking is imposed on others unfairly. Many of us have difficulty distinguishing voting for the other side, from agreeing with everything and everybody on that side. Again that comes back to which sides requires more coerced group-think to keep itself coherent, and I think that's the left.

Anyway, getting back to Bolton's book, the Failing BBC is reporting 10 claims...

Those of you who are triggered by anti-Trump sentiment probably shouldn't click on the link.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

@Mik said in Trump sues to block Bolton book:
I think the Democratic party has some life left in it simply based on the fact that they put Joe Biden up rather than someone far more left. But it keeps moving further leftward all the time.
The reason they stood Biden up is because he wants to go down in history as a president, and being aware that he's not capable of it, he will be more than happy to do photo ops and regurgitate what he's told to say and let those running the party make the decisions.

Suddenly and out of nowhere we are compelled to #believebolton.
Please ignore everything we previously wrote about him.
You can’t make this up.
I never complained about his honesty rather his extreme hawkish to the point of trigger-happy foreign policy views. Trump came around to my view eventually.
But to your question, who do you think is more trustworthy in his assessment of the conversations covered in the book, Trump or Bolton?
@jon-nyc I agree with you. I never like John Bolton, and did not like his attitude, his policies, and how he handled things. But, I do think he probably is telling most of the truth in what he re-says in teh book.
Does that not worry anybody that the US president is like this?
President Trump: UK is a nuclear power???
President Trump: Is Finland part of Russia???Ouch!!!

I read it. If that's what Boltons book is claiming, then Bolton is going to look like a stone cold fool.

Pay very close attention to who Biden picks as his running mate. If Biden is elected, the VP will become the first unelected President since Ford.

Because not a word of it is true.

Oh Bolton is a spurned lover. I don’t believe he has the capacity to understand things and will seek to interpret everything in a particular way. I’ve seen it too often.
His ego has been shattered to the point where he can’t even see that he is systematically destroying himself. The deconstruction of self is tragic.
Money won’t help and if he ever figures out how he is being used by people he despises, well I wouldn’t want to be there for that.
-
You you think Trumps blanket denials are more accurate than Bolton’s reported recollections?
Just trying to see where you’re drawing the line in the sand is all.
-
I’m a little curious, let’s take this quote from the BBC list:
The US president "stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election [in 2020], alluding to China's economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win," Mr Bolton writes.
"He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome."You think that’s out of character for Trump? I mean, if you saw a taped recording of that, how shocked would you be?

Yeah I would like to see what was actually said. It would be stunning given how much Trump has blamed China for Coronavirus. China should drop the mike on Trump if they had Kompromat. Why not?
-
Don’t forget how much he was praising Xi as recently as late Feb. Bolton’s writing about 2018-19.
Anyway interesting to see where your thoughts are on this.

Trump slammed China worse than Bolton. I guess we will just have to wait for Xi’s book. I mean face saving is so important for the Chinese, Trump is rubbing their nose in do do.

Why would China have any interest in commenting on a book like this?

I would never defend Trump to the ends of the earth.
Indeed you normally don’t, which is why I thought it curious you were so quick to call Bolton a liar.
