Trump told Xi that Democrats were hostile towards China and told Xi that China could help him - Trump - win.
🚨🚨 In fact, according to Bolton, Trump was "pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win."
"The request for electoral assistance from Xi is just one of many instances described by Bolton in which Trump seeks favors or approval from authoritarian leaders. Many of those same leaders were also happy to take advantage of the U.S. president and attempt to manipulate him."
The Washington Post describes Bolton's nearly 600-page book as "most substantive, critical dissection of the president from an administration insider so far."

He seems to be behind an effort to unseat McConnell. The senators calling for delaying the leadership vote mostly read like a Who's Who of Senate Coup Proponents: Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, Hawley, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz.
Also, Trump re-"truth"-ed a Breitbart article about the letter circulating to delay the vote.
You can bet the bank that Trump's been in contact with Rubio and others about this effort.
Trump is trying to unseat McConnell.
Blaming McConnell for the election loss is ludicrous since McConnell was against Trump's loser candidates. But Trump is angry and embarrassed and now intends to scapegoat McConnell and also enact some revenge on him for not being Trumpy enough.
Watching these 1/6 videos of Pelosi and Schumer having to BEG impotent Departments of Defense and Justice for assistance while the United States Capitol was under siege is infuriating!
Their responses overheard from Pelosi's cellphone are pathetic. Humiliating!
Why hasn't Wray answered for this yet?
Why don't we know who in the DoD was dragging their feet?
Why wasn't law enforcement CALLING THEM!?
They should have been frantically rushing all the help they could immediately.
Instead, they were treating Pelosi and Schumer with all the sense of emergency they might afford their kids' school inquiring about unexcused absences!
Poll: Should Congress pass a law against automatic subscription renewals?
(please retweet🙏)
I think minimally, if you can subscribe to something online, you should be allowed to unsubscribe online and not have to search for a phone number, find a human, and then beg to be allowed to unsubscribe.
