“Yet, in the waning months of that election, Trump…would occasionally joke to close allies that he would not care if Iranian assassins killed John Bolton, an Iran hawk and Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-critic, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter…
They all participated in a dumb foreign policy stunt, but these guys did Trump's bidding. They may have considered it duty. It certainly wasn't to make them rich. So Trump set them up as assassination targets, and now pulls their security. Ladies and gentlemen, the American President.
These guys are more likely to be targeted by MAGA murderers, there have been many more of those in America than Iranian assassins
Trump doesn’t joke. He was serious. He doesn’t care about Bolton… or really anyone else.
Well Donnie, did you forget that you are on their list, as well? 🤷♀️
“…’That’s terrible, I shouldn’t say that,’ Trump privately said, smirking, in one casual conversation in late 2024, one of the sources recalls.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Hate to be so callous but people that put their faith in Trump deserve what they get.
Correct. A world without John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook is a better place than the world we live in currently. Go Iran!
Amazing to think that as recently as late 2024 Trump had some sense of what might look bad.
The loyalty only ever went in one direction
I don’t think Bolton was loyal to Trump, it was that Trump would allow Bolton to pursue his long declared desire to attack Iran
Yup it’s hard to even imagine him trying to pretend behind closed doors but he sure had to do his best while he could to keep access
Yep, everyone has to sing a song for that guy
Rug pull
He wasn't joking tho.
