You damn right the president was helped by doing a great job for the American farmer and an even better job for the American economy! That was/is his forte! And had a lot to do with why he was elected. And he's likely one of the two men capable of fixing the mess the virus has left us with. The other is Bloomberg but he ain't a possibility since outside a business office he can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

Sp long live DJT doing what he does best, making the American people AS A WHOLE MORE PROSPEROUS! Even if it hurts democrats trying to gain power because they can't do the same! I'm voting for him because of my kids and grandchildren and my wish for them to prosper! Which I guess means he has conned me into voting for him because he does great things for me and mine! LOL!

But did he? Not seeing any info that says he actually did this. But we know who did, couple of guys named Biden and Obama.

Since trump obviously only hires the best people, I will have to take Bolton at his word.

Pretty damming stuff.

Trump is willing to allow concentration camps if China helps him get re-elected?

Mr. Bolton doesn't understand the art of a deal

Where are you seeing that?

The part about helping him get re-elected is regarding buying agricultural products as part of trade deal

That isn’t scandalous

Trying to fulfill campaign promises is not a scandal

Again, from your link:


The “election assistance” is regarding China agreeing to a deal in which they buy agricultural products from American farmers.

In absolutely no way is that a scandal

Engaging in trade deals with foreign nations is a basic job of the president.

It’s not “election interference”

I’m curious about what he has to say. I cannot summarily dismiss anything he says. 40 years of credibility isn’t going away overnight. He has impeccable credentials in many Republicans eyes.

Nothing he says will keep me from voting for Trump but I’m very interested in what he has to say nonetheless

Read the supposed “damning” excerpts. They amount to nothing more than quibbles with methods and choices. You really think there’s something more?

Lol I’ve never read so much sensationalism trying to promote a bunch of nothing. Bolton must really need money. Somethings we learned:

1. Trump likes to complement XI privately. Shocking. He does this in public. It’s in Art Of the Deal.

2. Huawei is a trade talk bargaining chip. Whoaaaa wow. Who knew? It’s like we created our own leverage or something.

3. Trump doesn’t care about Chinese Muslims. This has been disputed already by Lighthizer but even if true, is Bolton saying this has to be part of the trade deal? Not sure anyone would agree

4. Trump considers his re-election chances in policy matters. Lol I’m not even sure I need to go further here but the irony of Bolton being shocked that a President is actually doing what he said he was going to do to get elected is mind boggling.

5. Bolton says Trump was insane for wanting military options in venzuala and then weak for being talked out of it by Putin. Which is it?

6. Bolton adds more innuendo to the Ukraine story but refused to testify under oath. Glad he put it in his book though. Even Adam Schift is calling him out.

I say drop the lawsuit and let him print the book. Quit giving it more free publicity than its due. From the excerpts, it just comes across as Bolton being a whiny bitch who has no concept of how to develop leverage and use it effectively.

ETA. In this bizarro clown world we are living in, the media and neoconservatives are now going to attack the original China Hawk as being weak on China. The same people that have given this country away and bitched and moaned the last 3 years about tariffs and trade wars are now going to try and sell the public that Trump is weak on China. Lol good luck.

So should he stop them militarily or with economic sanctions? Like you know he's been doing since he was elected? Or do you want to go to war in China?

Stupid frick

You have DTS so you can't be objective. Nobody really likes Bolton. But I love these Bolton quotes from his book. Just confirms what I know. How does it feel to be conned for so long?

I came to this board to see the reaction to Bolton's book. 3rd thread from the bottom....really. After reading this thread it's clear as day. You supporters think he can do know wrong. Do y'all pray to him at night too? Y'all disgust me.
