'Laughing fool' Trump was a joke to foreign leaders –according to his own former national security adviser

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton laid into former President Donald Trump on "CNN This Morning" Tuesday in discussion with Kaitlan Collins.

The discussion centered largely on comments Trump made about foreign policy and the Russian invasion of Ukraine during CNN's controversial St. Anselm College town hall last Wednesday, which Collins moderated.

"You once said that he barely knew where Ukraine was," said Collins. "And his notion that — one thing he repeated that night as well is he said, if he was in office, that Putin would not have invaded Ukraine."

"Yeah," said Bolton. "Trump has this impression that foreign leaders, especially adversaries, hold him in high regard, that he's got a good relationship with Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un. I believe they think he's a laughing fool. And the idea that somehow his presence in office would have deterred Putin is flatly wrong. If anything, if Trump had won a second term and done what I think he intended to do, which is get out of NATO, Putin would have just waited and let him do it, and even the weakening of NATO would have made it a lot easier for the Russians to have prevailed."

He is a danger to all and I can NOT believe anyone thinks that "post" is anything other than idiocy.

I don't understand how Parlatore can ethically say any of those things. He can't disclose privileged information, and he also has broader attorney-client obligations to his former client, which require him to keep his lips zipped about what he learned while representing Trump.

Lazy journalism. It's like those reporting this stuff (which is all likely true) yet I can't back trace these screen grabs to anything. They need to get their sh*t together.

You know, that is a very good point. This could be the tweeter making crap up for content. You would have to go to truth Social to get the full story, but with screen grabs you cant do that

Granted it does not get the blowtard views, but as you say we have no idea if when or if that was actually posted there.

I apologize for not waiting to get a fact check. Next time I'll wait for you to get it from TS and post here.

Whatever. They were creepy weird even when they were radio pop stars for the 15 minutes.
