    Well, multiple people, from different political parties, even sometimes different countries, who were "in the room where it happened" have said Bolton is full of crap and the things he wrote never happened. The book isnt even out yet - only a few leaked examples so far - no one is backing Bolton. But, you lefties will believe anything - as long as its orange man bad.

    So what? The swamp sticks together. Americans are sick of the political elitists and their greed. Time to drain the swamp.

    I think I lot has to do with the fact places like the Govt of South Korea say he is lying: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...n-trump-kim-summit-is-distorted-idUSKBN23T0F2

    He also has problems on both sides of the aisle because of his hawkish views, that runner completely counter to the President on Iran, NK, Syria etc.....he wants wars...Trump wants us out...despite that Trump gave him a second chance...the disagreements got to much and Bolton was pushed out.....Bolton has already confessed that he would lie. if he felt it was in the best interest of the nation:

    South Korea said he was lying.

    He likely committed crimes in going avoiding the regular process of review of a book,https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...itted-crimes-but-he-gets-to-publish-his-book/

    and the President never told anyone to drink bleach that's another lie apparently you ate up

    The media tells the truth about Trump. Trump and his fans want the media to be Trump's cheerleaders so the truth scares him and them.

    He admitted to breaking the law, what do I need to defend?

    Judging from the Trump fan response to this thread, the premise is perfectly valid. When you can invent your own alternative facts, actual facts will stop mattering. It is all about emotional attachment to Trump.

    I have never seen anything like this, it is like a cult or something.

    While true, you are not allowed to use the four letter word, though :), I and others had posts removed because of its usage.

    No, he told people to ingest disinfectant.

    Depending on the disinfectant and the quantity, you could experience organ failure, anemia, or cardiac arrest, and die

    No. No he didn’t. He’s said some dumb things, that’s NOT one of them.

    And there is no him saying “hey guys, you should ingest disinfectant” in that video like you are claiming. Instead, you have him asking a stupid question.

    It's not on topic so I let it rest but I felt it was important to correct you and for people NOT to follow up on Trumps words.

    You brought it up dude.

    And you didn’t correct me. You actually showed everybody with your own link exactly what he said. He asked a dumb as hell question but didn’t tell people to ingest disinfectant. Enjoy your fantasy land.

    wouldn’t count on that, Trump has several things going for him

    He is an incumbent, incumbents seldom lose

    We all know he is capable of anything, he will have all the resources of the Federal Gov’t he can manipulate working for his re-election, legal and illegal, we have already seen how far billy barr is willing to go to please Trump

    Trump will also have foreign entities doing all they can working for him, we have already seen his efforts with the Ukraine, and Bolton’s book raises concerns with China and Turkey. And why wouldn’t they, they saw Russia do it without penalties, they know billy barr ain’t going to do anything, and an entire American political party and major news network will either turn a blind eye or defend their actions. Great opportunity for another to pick up an IOU from Trump

    “Now if he lies?” He has been lying since Day one, remember the size of his Inauguration crowd?

    it is not a question of “cry of the wold,” but rather, due to repetitiveness, insensitivity to his lying

    Perhaps, but hard to ignore when you add in Mathis, Scaramucci, Kelly, and Tellerson, who all reached the same conclusion that Trump was incompetent, it presents a pretty strong argument, these aren’t the Omarosas of the Trump world

    Plus a good number of them aren’t really famous for their reading habits, if they don’t hear if from a demagogue, it ain’t true

    What difference do you hope John Bolton's book can make in "Trumpland"?
