Don’t ask me why I did this to myself, but I finished Bolton’s book.

This are my thoughts.
//THREAD//
So, before I begin, I stand by my previous summary:

-Bolton is a piece of shit and his pompous attitude should be met with a slap in the face. Seriously, fuck that guy.

- As for Trump, he’s an incompetent and ignorant criminal who should be behind bars.
Next up, Bolton is comically bad at what he does.

As the guy in charge of National Security, he wanted a war with North Korea and got the US out of the international agreements.

Not to mention that he tried to destroy the UN back when he was UN ambassador.
Third, the only reason he got hired is because Trump watched him on Fox.

Literally, that’s it. Bannon and Priebus seemed to want him for his “experience” (lol) but he was hired because of Fox.
Bolton’s ego is so fucking big that it might just qualify as the 9th planet in the solar system.

This guy insults entire countries, and implies that he is smarter than the entire FUCKING GOVERNMENT OF SOUTH KOREA.
In his book, Bolton paints a picture of a chaotic White House, an incompetent, indecisive, and ignorant President who can be easily swayed.

He claims Trump got played by Kim Jung Un.

Nothing we didn’t know.
He also reveals, as you might have heard, that Trump both gave a thumbs up to the Chinese building concentration camps, and asked China for help in his re-election.

Bolton argues that this made him sick, but he’s a cowardly jackass so I don’t believe him.
He also claims that Iran and North Korea are trading arms, and that North Korea is hiding weapons in other countries.

This makes it even more alarming that he wanted war with BOTH these countries.
Again, because I can’t stress this enough, Bolton is a fucking pain in the balls. He is a warmonger who’s like nothing else to see the world burn.

If you asked me, Bolton’s sexual fantasies involve watching animals be skinned in the middle of a nuclear winter. Fuck. That. Guy.
Important to note, that Bolton only considered resigning twice, over the Singapore Summit and when Trump considered meeting with Jarav Zarid.

He was fine with concentration camps, fine with election interferance, fine with exhtorting foreign countries.

But a shot at peace? NO!
Let me take a second from shitting on Bolton to shit on Simon and Schuster for allowing this flaming piece of garbage to be published.

For starters, this book should be 100 pages long. There is no fucking reason in hell this should be 570 pages.
On that, let me add that the wording and structure of this shit is straight out of a kindergartener who’s learning how to write.

You know those people who speak and speak but don’t say anything? This is a written version of that.
Now, don’t even get me started on Bolton’s vocabulary.

This jackass’ use of uncommon words and phrases adds nothing to the book, it’s just Bolton stroking his own fucking dick while attempting to seem smart.

I had to pull out google to figure out a word meant exactly 12 times.
If this sounds like a rant, then good, that’s what this is.

I wasted 4 days of my life reading a garbage book that made my eyes bleed. Again, I have no idea how this shit got published.
Now, I am not qualified to give analyze this book on a national security or foreign affairs perspective, but here is what I’ll tell you:

John Bolton is a FUCKING idiot. This asshole somehow screwed up policy that was already horrible.
As I said during my read through, it’s like Bolton brought a list of policy that was too idiotic for even Bush to execute, and got Trump to do it.

The utter stupidity of this man, I swear, I almost broke my screen more than once.
Basically almost all the stupid international moves taken by the Trump admin in 2018 and half of 2019, that was Bolton.

Leaving the G7 summit? Him.
Leaving anti-arms treaties? Him.
Treatment of allies as enemies? Him.

I cannot fathom the damage this man has made to the world.
Through his book, Bolton insults basically every country on Earth, insults foreign Presidents, insults the media, insults fucking everyone.
He even gives Trump a document with what he (Bolton) believes that Xi Jinping will tell Kim Jung Un?

The only problem? He thinks Xi Jinping talks about America the same way Fox News talks about America.
The book is filled of disgusting appelas to nationalism and the good ol’ idiotic conservative view of American exceptionalism.

I can guarantee that Bolton would kill everyone outside the US (and 50% of those of us here) if he could.
Moving on to China, Bolton reveals that Trump pulling out of trade agreements and imposing tariffs wasn’t done for policy reasons.

Trump was using tariffs to blackmail China into buying products from swing states so he could win re-election.

Yes, really.
Donald Trump caused a loss of millions upon millions of dollars and thousands of jobs, just so he could try to campaign on the fact that China was buying soybeans.
Back to Bolton for a second (fuck that guy, really), there is no question that he should have testified.

He is a fucking traitor who (because he is so fucking smart) thought he knew better than Democrats and thought his book would damage trump more than impeachment. (Plus cash)
Now, next time that you say that Nazi comparisons are not suitable, I will kindly remind you that Donald Trump PRAISED CHINA FOR KEEPING 2 MILLION FUCKING PEOPLE IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

He is a morally depraved incompetent coward little orange racist rapist idiot. Fuck him.
Oh, don’t let me forget that Bolton nearly convinced Trump of pushing for regime change in Venezuela, that’s where the “5000 troops to Colombia” came from.
Bolton quotes Trump as saying that invading Venezuela would be “cool” and saying that Venezuela is part of the US.

Where did he get that idiotic notion from? Don’t fucking ask me. The guy is a lunatic, same with Bolton.
As I’d previously said, Bolton describes Trump as the easiest person to manipulate.

He claims Putin repeatedly talked about rallies to distract Trump, and compared Juan Guaido to Hillary Clinton to stop US support for him.
Reminder, the Trump admin organized an international coalition to recognize Guaido. Trump brought Guaido to SOTU, and the US was ready to go to war for him.

Putin compared him to Hillary, and that was that, Trump liked Maduro again.
There is not much new infomration here, this is just a horribly written, stupidly structured way of saying that Trump is incompetent.
Another highlight is when Bolton, Pompeo, and Mattis are discussing what to do regarding war games.

These people think about the political effects, the military effects, and the international effects.

Not once do they consider the people’s safety. It doesn’t even come up.
I’m sorry if I’m going back and forth, but my notes on this are spread between three different places.
Bolton also confirms that Trump rejected a proposal for Kim Jong Un that’d have (theoretically) denuclearized North Korea?

Why? Because if he accepted it he’d “never get re-elected”.

Again, the safety of the people they represent doesn’t even come to their minds.
Another stupid scene Bolton describes is when Trump surprisingly does the right thing cancels a strike that’d kill a disproportionate number of Iranians.

Bolton attacks Trump for not wanting to kill people here.
This book portrays a White House with no clear direction. Everyone is doing something different, there is not communication, no leadership, and no experience.
This entire thing shows a President who is only concerned about politics and optics, who will destroy decades of diplomacy for a headline.
The book shows Bolton finally accomplishing tearing up the Iran deal, convincing Trump to pile sanctions on Iran, and then criticizing Trump for not actually going to war. Because even Trump knows war is bad.
I mean, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Bolton is so fucking bad that he males Trump look good by comparison.

Bolton is a fucking narcissistic psychopath who should be on the FBI’s watchlist.
I mean, it speaks loudly that Donald Fucking Trump was the one that contained Bolton’s worst impulses.

Bolton witnessed thousands of crimes being committed and stayed, he advised Trump to kill millions.
This book perfectly illustrates the two major types of conservatism in America.

You have the Trumps, who are incredibly uneducated and base everything off Fox News.

And you have the Boltons, who know what the fuck is up but dgaf because they’re nationalist psychopaths.
Ultimately, the thing that broke Bolton and Trump apart wasn’t the crimes or the racism or the ignorance or any of that.

The thing that broke them apart was that Bolton wanted a war, and Trump knew a war was bad politics. That’s it, both are pieces of shit.
Finally, my last point about the book’s (nearly nonexistent) substance is that it shows that Conservative attacks on the Iran Deal are empty.

Bolton opposes it not for the reasons Fox News says it’s bad, but because he opposes any deal that prevents war. Simple.
Also, just a short list of world leaders that manipulated Trump:
- Nethanyahu
- Erdogan
- Putin
- Macron
- Trudeau
- Xi Jinping
- Kim Jong Un
Also important to note that Donald Trump was pretty fucking close to leaving NATO.

The only reason he didn’t is because it’d be bad politics and would hamper Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
Bolton later claimed in an interview that Trump would undoubtedly leave NATO in a second term.
To conclude, don’t buy Bolton’s book.

Bolton is a warmongering, idiotic, cowardly, incompetent, ASSHOLE.

Bolton wants to watch the world burn, literally. He’s a big part of why we’re here today. Seriously fuck that guy.
I really hope you enjoyed this review, rant, breakthrough, or whatever you want to call it.

It was a nightmare to do, and I probably won’t do it again, but I do hope you enjoyed and learned something.
If you have any questions, I’ll try to answer them.

Half the book has been blocked away to spare my brain the pain, but I’ll look through it if you need me to.
