Bolton: Trump's not 'fit for office,' doesn't have 'competence to carry out the job'

[honest.abe]

President Donald Trump is not "fit for office" and doesn't have "the competence to carry out the job," his former national security adviser John Bolton told ABC News in an exclusive interview.

In an explosive new book about his 17 months at the White House, Bolton characterizes Trump as "stunningly uninformed," ignorant of basic facts and easily manipulated by foreign adversaries.

But his assessment that Trump is not "fit" to be president is among the most stunning indictments of a sitting president by one of their own top advisers in American history.

Wow.

[Ilsa]

1. Stunningly uninformed and stunningly uncurious. nt

[honest.abe]

2. and stunningly ignorant.

The GOP has to be freaking out about this.

[brewens]

3. Has anyone researched just how many time Trump got taken in a business deal? He's

renowned for screwing people. There's no way he hasn't been burned big time by other fraudsters. Being laughed at for that would really flip him out.

[edbermac]

4. So what the fuck did you do about that, Stache?

You had a chance to discuss that with Mr Schiff.

[Boomerproud]

6. That should be the follow up question in every

interview.

[honest.abe]

8. That may actually end up helping us.

Had Bolton testified I suspect the Senate would have still acquitted and mostly forgotten by now. By not testifying, this book coming out now gives more credibility to the Democrats impeachment efforts and perhaps persuade more voters that Trump needs to go.

Dont get me wrong, I would have wanted Bolton to testify, but given the situation, this might turn out for the best.

9. Maybe. Hopefully it helps us in the election.

[honest.abe]

10. It has to help.

This is stunning evidence that backs up everything Democrats have been saying about Trump since he was elected.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. November is a long time away.

[honest.abe]

14. Very true but at some point with all these shocking stories coming out..

many voters who might have been on the fence will finally say "enough, I cannot vote for that man" and tune out until Nov.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. We need the apathetics to come out and vote. Not sure what it will take.

[honest.abe]

16. Yeah, I dont know either.

Biden is no Obama but this election is about getting rid of Trump. If that doesnt inspire one to vote then I dont think we can reach them. Perhaps a youthful, energetic, charismatic VP might help.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Maybe. I was still a Green when I voted for Obama. I was torn between supporting my party and

helping to elect the first African American president and his adorable family into the White House. My Dad was also a Green and so bummed that I was even dithering on this, but I pointed out that we didn’t know if there was another SCOTUS decision in this election, like the one that gave us **, but I’d be damned if I’d let Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Yep

But he feared he'd sell fewer copies of his book if he said this before it came out.

[JustGene]

5. Bolton has a voice with

Repubs-Think MIC
One thing we don't have a shortage of, ever, are weapons.
Warmonger

[Buckeyeblue]

7. I don't think we need Bolton to tell us this information

It's been apparent from the start that Trump doesn't have the capacity to be president. He should have testified when he had the chance.

[PoliticAverse]

11. So he's saying about Trump basically the same thing he said about Hillary Clinton. n/t

[sop]

13. That's what Hillary told everyone about Trump in 2016. Repeatedly. People should've listened

[Corgigal]

19. Had no trouble

taking a job inside Trumps administration.

What does that say about you, Bolton?

[PatSeg]

20. So Trump is incompetent as president,

yet Bolton didn't do or say anything until he could get his book published. Wow, that's some patriot.
