Finding his way back in the media, 74-year-old former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who spent only 15 months at the job, finds anyway to slam 76-year-old former President Donald Trump. Bolton is part of Lincoln Project, a group of Republicans founded in 2016 to stop Trump from winning the presidency, then continued work to have him impeached and removed from office during his term as president. Botlon was fired by Trump for his warmongering, something Trump said before his canning Bolton Sept. 10, 2019. Trump said when firing Bolton he would have started WW III if he continued on the job. Bolton delighted the Democrat-controlled media saying that foreign leaders saw Trump as a “laughing fool,” and would have not stopped 70-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine. Trump said recently he would end the war in 24 hours.
Bolton responded to Trump’s claims in a May 10 CNN town hall that Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if he were president. Speaking on CNN’s “This Morning,” Bolton insisted that Trump would not have stopped Putin from attacking Ukraine. Speaking with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who moderated the CNN town hall with Trump and Poppy Harlow, Bolton said Trump would not have stopped the invasion. “Trump has this impression that foreign leaders, especially adversaries, hold him in high regard—that he’s got a good relationship with Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un,” Bolton said. Bolton doesn’t say on CNN that Biden has wrecked for generations relations with Xi, Putin and Kim, leaving U.S. foreign policy in shambles. Bolton only seeks to denounce Trump out a personal vendetta for getting fired by Trump Sept. 10, 2019, called a dangerous warmonger.
No one at Democrat-controlled CNN wants to talk a bout Biden’s proxy war with t he Kremlin or how he’s wrecked U.S.-Chinese relations. Biden gets a free pass from Bolton because all he cares about is slamming Trump for firing him. Whatever relationship Trump had with U.S. adversaries, it was night-and-day compared with Biden who’s pushed WW III on the European Continent and looks to start a war with China over Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific. Biden says nothing about how Biden has imperiled U.S. national security and world peace with his war against the Kremlin and possible military conflict with China. Biden told the press Sept. 23, 2022 that he would supply U.S. troops to defend Taiiwan, in the event of a Beijing takeover. No, Collins and Harlow would never admit to Biden’s abysmal foreign policy. Exploiting Bolton, CNN continues its attacks on Trump.
Trump said May 10 on CNN’s town hall that Putin would not have invaded Ukraine, something highly likely because, unlike Biden, Trump had an ongoing relationship with the Russian leader. Before the war started Feb. 24, 2022, Putin tried to resolve Ukraine’s security issues for months, before the eventual invasion. Biden isnsits the war was “unprovoked and unjustified,” when, in fact, Putin tried to discuss security arrangements with Biden for months. Biden refused to dialogue with Putin because he had been arming Ukraine for months. Bolton could not be more off-base about Trump’s preventing the war. Trump would not have armed Ukraine, posing a threat to Russian national security, prompting Putin to implement his “special military operation,” designed, beyond anything else, to neutralize all the U.S. arms given to Kiev before the war started.
Bolton says the Trump would not have prevented the invasion, something music to CNN’s anti-Trump ears. Kaitlan Collins looked like an amateur trying moderate the May 10 town hall debate. She interrupted Trump constantly, because she had no answers for any of Trump’s remarks. “In fact, the exact opposite is true,” Bolton said. “I have been in those rooms with him when he met with those leaders. I believe they think he as ‘laughing fool’ and the idea that some his presence in office would have delivered Putin is flatly wrong.” Bolton said. Bolton says nothing about Trump being on the only president in U.S. history to meet with a North Korean leader across the Demilitarized Zone [DMZ]/. Was that all fake to Bolton? Bolton’s sour grapes fit well with CNN whose ratings plummeted after the Trump town hall meeting. CNN’s ratings without Trump are back in the tank.
Bolton is the perfect advocate for Biden’s warmongering foreign policy, waging war against Putin and the Russian Federation, a dream come true for a war hawk like Bolton. Trump fired Bolton with cause for advocating an aggressive foreign policy that would have got the U.S. into WW III. Trump, much to Democrats and Bolton’s chagrin, had mutually respectful relations with U.S. adversaries. Biden has destroyed decades of détente with Russia, now threatens, much to Bolten’s delight, to start another war with Communist China. Democrats and the press accused Trump of nefarious relations with world dictators, trying to discredit Trump himself. But the world was at peace with Trump, now at war with Biden. So, to Democrats and the press got what they wanted, a world at war. Bolton joins the Trump-hating CNN trying to excuse Biden’s indefensible foreign policy.
