While John Bolton continues to play up growing US hostility anywhere and everywhere, President Trump appeared to very directly contradict him on North Korea, just days after Bolton declared that Trump is determined to crack down on North Korea after recent missile tests.
Trump, however, downplayed the missile tests, saying the tests “disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me.” Trump insisted that they were “small weapons” and he continues to have confidence in Kim Jong Un.
Trump defended Kim, saying he has every confidence that Kim will deliver on his promises, and that he “smiled” when Kim “called Swampman Joe Bidan (sic) a low IQ individual, & worse.”
Trump has tended to downplay potential roadblocks with North Korea, and reiterate his confidence that the two leaders get along so well they’ll likely be able to make a deal. At the same time, North Korea has been urging the US to take a new approach, and there is no sign that Trump is doing that, or even recognizing the urging has happened.
If Kim had praised “Bidan” Trump would be threatening nuclear annihilation. Kim knows how to play Trump.
When will Trump finally fire that dangerous Bolton?
As far as I’m concerned, if Trump invades another country that’ll break it with him and me. I’ll just stay home in 2020.
His views on torture were enough for me. In reality, I’m 64 and Trump has been around my entire life so it’s not like I didn’t already have an opinion about him. But it takes a special breed, in my opinion, to think torture works or even think that its working makes it a justifiable act.
Agreed. It’s disturbing.
I don’t recall the dude’s name at the moment, but a few days ago I saw one of the two psychologists who mentored and may have even created the torture program on MSM and they were treating him as if he was respectable.
Shocking.
Have so few Americans any values anymore?
Bolton is a security guy. Trump’s main base’s constituents want Bolton. They get Bolton. Trump cannot fire him because if he does he will lose the 2020 elections.
