Once upon a time I actually thought of myself as
being a pretty darn good judge of character.
But if time has shown me anything it’s in that regard my ability has
been somewhat haphazard at best. You
see, I once voted for Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney and really, at the time, had no
problem with doing so, given the alternative.
Now fast-forward seven or eight years and I find myself wondering what
it must have been that I was thinking to have actually done such a thing. And now I find out that another guy I used to
think was a pretty smart guy, John Bolton, now appears to be yet another who
was able to quite easily pull the wool over my eyes. How embarrassing!
Apparently Bolton, who appears to be nothing more
than your average disgruntled employee, is about to release a book that would
seem to be nothing more than an attempt on his part to exact a little political
revenge in the hopes of torpedoing the president’s chances at re-election. Excerpts from the book, leaked earlier this
week to major American media outlets, were said to expose what was described as
being Bolton’s widespread criticism of the president. Don’t get me wrong, I remain a steadfast fan
of the president, but his skill in dealing with what would appear to be
numerous Washington backstabbers continues to cause him much unnecessary grief.
And as expected, it was both The Washington Post and
the New York Times that wasted precious little time in posting summaries of the
book’s contents after the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to
block the publication of the book. The 592-page book entitled, “The Room Where
It Happened: A White House Memoir,” was initially scheduled for release next
Tuesday, June 23. It was also The Wall
Street Journal that released an excerpt of the book, this one regarding
conversations the president supposedly had with Chinese President Xi Jinping. It’s a
shame that Bolton waited until now to reveal his true self. And to think I once trusted this guy.
Details were leaked from the book about how Bolton
didn’t necessarily agree with President Trump’s leadership style amid his conversations
with various world leaders. It also
featured conversations with other members of the Trump administration. No doubt Bolton will work to ramp up his
public media profile in the upcoming days to promote the new book. It’s sad that the respect I once had for
Bolton has now been made to completely evaporate. He’s made himself out to be less of an
American patriot and more of a ‘Deep State’ hack, another of those out to get
the president simply because it’s the president who seeks to put the concerns
of America, first.
In his book, Bolton has apparently accused the president
of asking China for help with his election. Bolton is a disgruntled ass who is bitter only
because he couldn't get President Trump to attack countries that Bolton apparently
thought were worthy of being attacked. And we’re also to believe that President Trump,
who has been at economic war with China since day one, actually asked if they
would be kind enough to help him with the upcoming election. Now I freely admit that I may not be the
sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m finding such a claim to be more than a
little difficult to swallow. Bolton, I
think, simply got a little carried away with himself.
As far as I’m concerned, Bolton can sell his stinking
book to the entire Bush clan, Romney, Cindy and Meghan McCain and to every RINO
and totalitarian Democrat in the country! Personally, I'm ashamed of ever having
actually given Bolton the benefit of the doubt. And what a pathetic way for Bolton to end his
career, but then it’s his choice! However
it is rather sad that he would choose to make his exit from the gutter, but I
can only guess that it was more important to him to smear the president to the
greatest extent possible as he makes his way to the exit. Might he be hoping for a position in a Biden
administration, not that that is likely to happen.
Also, rumor has it that apparently Bolton has always
had the reputation of being rather rough on his underlings as well as being a
bit of a butt-shark. Now he can add his
reputation of being a backstabber to his resume. While Bolton is one of those long suspected
of being a member of ‘The Swamp,’ after all he’s certainly been around long
enough, with this new book of his, he’s now removed any and all doubt that he
is most definitely a true creature of ‘The Swamp.’ Another of those who, because of their
over-inflated sense of importance along with rather sizable ego, feel they are
far more capable than our president to determine what it is that’s best for
America.
To say that I’m deeply disappointed by the actions
of Mr. Bolton would, in fact, be an understatement. I don't know what’s in the book, and frankly I
couldn’t care less. But I most certainly
must question the timing of it. He
surely doesn’t need the money, therefore, I can only conclude that he is trying
to undermine President Trump, which only serves to expose Bolton as an
establishment, ruling elite, deep state, traitor to the government of the
people, by the people, and for the people. If he had any class, the memoir
would be released after the election, if it had ever been written at all. And that this is how he chooses to be
remembered is truly pretty sick.
If anything, Bolton simply provides us with
additional proof of how there are today so very few in government who are
worthy of being trusted. Most of those
involved in the running of our country seem only to be out for themselves, which
should concern all of us who do still love this country. And it’s people like Bolton who, because of
their ‘my way or the highway’ attitude, tend to encourage getting the country
involved in skirmishes which, while they can always come up with a rational
sounding justification, we would be far better off if we avoided. And when their advice is not taken they attempt
to imply the country is now in some sort of danger.
While I would only hope that the book will be a
financial disaster for its publisher, Simon and Schuster, if it’s only those on
the left who decide to purchase it, it will still likely make them plenty of
money. But I can honestly say that I
have no intention of buying the book despite the fact that I’m quite sure it
will be available on ‘Amazon’ at what will be cut rate prices if for no other
reason that to attempt to get it into as many hands as possible. And while I’m quite sure that it will be the
subject of conversation for weeks to come in the world of ‘fake news,’ I would
like to think most intelligent folks will view it for what it is, the raving of
a disgruntled employee.
Finally, the task President
Trump chose is incredibly difficult. To get an administration moving in the
right direction and staying on the desired path you need a core of dedicated
people who you can trust. And choosing
those who have their own personal agenda can result in many unnecessary speed
bumps being put in place. Relying on ‘Establishment’ types got the president
off to a wobbly start, that's for sure, but it was an olive branch in my
estimation. Winning re-election is what
gets peoples’ attention the most in DC, so I'm looking forward to Act 2. And it is nothing less than imperative that
the president win. A President Biden
would be a disaster!
