Bolton’s response? Game on.

Drawn from his personal participation in key events, Bolton covers an array of topics—chaos in the White House, sure, but also assessments of major players, the President’s inconsistent, scattershot decision-making process, and his dealings with allies and enemies alike, from China, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, Iran, the UK, France, and Germany.

What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

“I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” he writes.

In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping their prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trump’s Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy—and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms
about them.

Amazing how those once hated by the Dems are now redeemed principled Americans merely by attacking Trump. Doesn't take much for a "principle" to change stripes.

Were the Dems wrong or lying when they claimed that choosing Bolton would get us mired into more disastrous foreign wars?
