John Bolton’s Limp Revenge
It’s not happening for the mustachioed one.

Reporters and columnists around the world are falling all over themselves to scour former national security adviser John Bolton’s White House memoir, The Room Where It Happened, for tidbits of criticism of President Trump. They don’t have to look hard to find them.
Bolton’s memoir is not the usual “tell all†book by a former White House staffer. It’s a “get even†book that White House trade adviser Peter Navarro called “revenge porn,†which is not far off the mark.
I have a slight advantage over most of the people commenting on Bolton’s book because I read it before writing about it.
Asking for “help†in terms of greatly increasing Chinese purchases of U.S. farm products was not in any way improper even if Trump couched it in terms of election help.
The book is a litany of complaints seeking to convince us that the president is erratic, incompetent, and incapable of running our government. That Trump knows the cost of everything but the value of nothing. After all the media hype, I read carefully to find the ultimate damnations from which Trump can’t recover. They just aren’t there.
