No surprise: John Bolton’s homage to himself still sits atop his Twitter feed

Former National Security Advisor’s “Tell-All” Book About Trump Might Be As Damning As Can Be, But Its Moment In History Is Passed.

Honestly, at this point all John Bolton may be accomplishing is providing a much-needed (for Trump!) distraction…

Yeah Trump’s lashing out: calling Bolton a “dope” and even quoting the New York Times’ review of Bolton’s book, which calls it “exceedingly tedious”. And yeah it’s probably a big deal that Trump, according to Bolton, asked China’s President Xi to help him win re-election. And yeah Trump is once again trying to hush free speech that he doesn’t like, and you know we take that super-seriously! But it’s not like anybody’s ready to boot up Impeachment 2.0. And are those new details going to change Trump’s support or not on either side? (Hey, we could be totally wrong about this, but we don’t think so.)

So it’s Bolton who’s going to come out looking like the biggest fool. For Bolton, at best it’s like he’s swinging hard at an adversary, but his punches can no longer connect. Even if he’s the more skillful, cleaner, righteous fighter, whatever, he’s still stupidly fighting a bout that was decided long ago. And the unskillful, dirty, outmatched opponent has long ago claimed victory, whether he was deserving of it or not…
