Bolton Bolton Bolton Bolton A series of reports on John Bolton’s upcoming book published Wednesday afternoon, revealing shocking anecdotes and moments that the former national security adviser observed while working for President Donald Trump.
Here are 11 of those insane revelations.
For example, Trump spent months trying to get an autographed Elton John CD delivered to Kim Jong Un.
Also, Bolton says Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping that building more "concentration camps" for Uighur Muslims was a good plan.

Bolton did an interview Wednesday night with ABC News and had a lot more to say, including that Vladimir Putin believes he can play Trump like a fiddle. Oh, and he said Trump is "unfit' for office and totally incompetent.
Bolton Bolton Naturally the many details from the book released already have caused a media bonanza. CNN's Jake Tapper said some of what was revealed about Trump's alleged actions are "obscene."
FBN's Lou Dobbs, on the other hand, thinks the obscenity is Bolton writing it, and he called him "petty and vindictive" for it.
MSNBC's Chris Hayes joined the two angles, finding Bolton "odious" and "duplicitous" for not testifying about how obscene Trump's actions were instead of writing a book about it.
And Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace split the difference, saying it's damaging but won't ultimately make a big difference. And finally, Bolton On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade frets that "bitter" Bolton is helping Joe Biden's campaign. On Twitter, President Trump played the this-is-a-loser-who-I-fired card. That card comes out a lot actually. Like, a LOT. In fact, we have a list.
It's all the people who Trump hired and then fired and then destroyed on Twitter.
Fox's Edge
Fox News edged out CNN across the 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. daypart on Tuesday in the coveted 25 – 54 age demographic, thanks in part to the strong performance from Outnumbered, which offered live coverage of President Donald Trump’s Rose Garden speech and signing ceremony of a police reform executive order.

According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox’s noon-day program bested all other shows through the morning and early afternoon hours on Tuesday, pulling in 335,000 in the demo and 2.09 million overall viewers. That helped the network win a narrow victory in the daytime demo.
It was close in demo. But not in overall ratings...
"Polls are fake, just like the reporters and the news"
President Trump lashed out when confronted with polling that shows Joe Biden beating him in battleground states by saying that “The polls are fake!” and repeatedly asserting that “in my polls, we’re ahead!”
Demonic
Rev. Al Sharpton warned that police will continue acting in a “demonic fashion” if officers are convinced “they’ll walk out of court” in cases of police brutality. His comments came moments after it was announced Garrett Rolfe, the Atlanta cop who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy’s parking lot, will face 11 charges including felony murder.
Delete This
The number of Americans searching for a way to delete their old Twitter posts hit a 52-week high in the first week of June, according to Google data. New Yorkers led the nation in searching for “how to delete old tweets,” according to data from Google Trends, followed by Texas and Florida. California came in fourth, despite holding the second-highest position in the all-time rankings — which began in November 2009. Mediaite's Rudy Takala has the story, and the data. Assuming he doesn't delete it.
Late Night Bolton
Late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers shared some of the revelations detailed in Bolton's book and mocking Trump's attempts to silence it. “According to Bolton, Trump’s ignorance is near-bottomless. Apparently, Trump didn’t seem to know that Britain was a nuclear power and asked if Finland were part of Russia. Now, you can understand his confusion there, because under President Trump, it feels like we’re kind of part of Russia," said Colbert.
The rest had plenty of Bolton quips too.
