Bolton is the only person in the nation who finds it incomprehensible. Everyone else, friend or foe, comprehends it completely. The only thing that matters to Trump is Trump. It’s not so hard to grasp.

Sickening, yes. Incomprehensible? Not so much.

Par for the course.

Yeah I’m actually getting to a point where I’m not so terribly interested in what John Bolton thinks about this or that.

I would be nice if news media start charging Bolton for airtime. After all he doesn’t do anything for free either.

Bolton may want to drop nuclear weapons on Iran, but he’s not ka-raaaay-zeee!

The relevance of what John bolton had to say was high during the impeachment, now that his book is out he’s pretty much irrelevant now as a source of information. It would be good if the press would take that to heart and not talk to him…there are several Democrats they should be talking with instead.

“Incomprehensible”? Bolton thinks that, even after working for Trump for a year and a half? If Bolton had half a brain, he’d have said (and realized) that this is EXACTLY what we should expect from Donald Trump. Of course, if Bolton had that level of awareness, he’d have testified before the House Impeachment Committee.

It’d be great if everyone would just stop paying any attention to this treasonous tool.

It’s all the more infuriating for him to continue to couch it in passive questions and statements about how Trump “should” be able to do the right thing, despite 50 years of evidence that Trump never does the (perceived) right thing for anyone who isn’t named Donald J Trump. Bolton leaving the door open to Trump somehow magically losing his spots and becoming a hugging teddy bear instead of a face-eating leopard is just tiresome.

This whole thing could be a win-win-win.

Bolton is no longer in power agitating for wars, but is taking shots at Trump on a regular basis and maybe making some die-hard Republicans uneasy, and there’s a good chance he won’t get any money from his book.

Bolton: ‘Incomprehensible’ For Trump To Throw > Rallies Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Bolton has been around Trump long enough to know that nothing about Trump is comprehensible. He’s a one-man psychopathic wrecking crew and he’s doing to our country . . . and the world.

"Bolton argued that it is “incomprehensible” to him that the President would risk holding his rallies in Tulsa and Arizona amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is endangering people. And there is no need for it,” Bolton said."

he then continued " And this can only be done by bombing Iraq and Syria and betraying more Kurds than ever before."

I mean, like, I was all into Bolton like, 16 years ago, but he totally sold out.

All the free publicity the MSM is giving this war-mongering traitor won’t change my mind. I still won’t pay for his blood-money book. He campaigned for a job, got it, then was at odds with basically everyone because his answer for every policy issue is to promote conflict and saber-rattle. Bad-mouthing his former employer should lead to no meaningful employment ever again. You. Can’t. Trust. Bolton.

Bolton has special insight into Trump. Trump has tunnel vision focused on his reelection. Bolton has tunnel vision focused on mongering for war. Both think that they are right, that all their actions are justified, and that everyone who doesn’t see things their way is stupid.

At least that’s the impression I get after plowing through the first five chapters of In the Rubber Room Where It Happened.
