World War Six????







Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, “begged” me for a non Senate approved job, which I gave him despite many saying “Don’t do it, sir,” takes the job, mistakenly says “Libyan Model” on T.V., and..

....many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?


At least Family Guy called it:

sometimes this guy reminds me of Archie Bunker. "Everybody knows the California earthquake was St. Andrews' fault."

will make said vengeful bastard less likely to want to testify against him? Obviously he's trying to discredit Bolton ahead of his possible testimony, but somehow I don't think this is the way to do it...

donnie's worldview is a strict social hierarchy with men over women, whites over blacks, etc., and of course with him at the top.

when he insults a person or a class of people, the primary aim is to communicate and to enforce that the insulted people are in a lower class in the hierarchy.

so with bolton, he's trying to move him down from the "white, male, republican, on donnie's team" class down to the "dangerous/failure/traitor" class. if he succeeds in taking him down in the hierarchy, anything bolton says can be ignored.


at least, among people who buy into that whole worldview....

But he seems to think that always works (and with his base it does - look at how Fox is responding to Bolton now) - he might be sorry he poked Bolton’s hornet nest, though.

Yep. I see it in my white dominated community. They have a manifest destiny concept about any property they can absorb into their own, including your own deeded property.

It take a real idiot to further piss off someone as thin-skinned as Bolton, who happens to know where some of the bodies are buried.

That is the bottom line. This idiot criticizes all the people who end up hating to work for him and exposing some of his idiocy BUT, the idiot hired them in the first place!!

Obama warned Trump not to put Flynn anywhere near the campaign or administration. What did the moron do? Hired him.

Trump is stupid and obstinate, a dangerous combination.

The Seven Years War was actually the first war on a global scale making it the First World War. What we call WWI would be 2nd, WW2 would be the Third. The Cold War is #4 and the current Global War on Terrorism is #5.
