Trump calls it 'inappropriate' for Bolton to write book

[sabra]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday said it was “totally inappropriate” for former national security adviser John Bolton to write a memoir about his work in the White House and claimed the book contains "highly classified" information.

“If he wrote a book, I can’t imagine that he can because that’s highly classified information,” Trump, who said he hadn’t read the book, told reporters during a meeting in the Cabinet Room.

“I will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified. So that would mean if he wrote a book and if the book gets out, he’s broken the law and I would think he would have criminal problems,” Trump continued.

Trump also suggested the details contained in the book may not be truthful, telling reporters Bolton has "been known not to tell the truth, a lot.”

2. Look who's talking.

21. Yosemite Sham has got nothing on Donald J Turd.

3. That's because Bolton is a well spoken person and probably used words that trump doesn't understand.

20. Fat Donnie doesn't understand the words "honesty," "integrity," and "character."

Although I doubt Bolton will use those words to describe himself, so I guess it all balances out in the end.

4. This from the liar in chief:

Trump also suggested the details contained in the book may not be truthful, telling reporters Bolton has "been known not to tell the truth, a lot.”

Facts are stubborn.

5. I wonder what he'll say about his niece

Thst he hasn't commented yet (unless I missed it) leads me to believe that it's being kept from him.

7. How about:

"Fake Niece! Where's her birth certificate? I haven't seen it. Anybody can say they are a Niece. What does Niece even mean?"

6. It is...

It is even more inappropriate that Trump is in office. It is ultimately inappropriate and an insult to everything good about our country.

10. Trump reading a book would be inappropriate, too.

F'in idiot...

[Golden Raisin]

11. Miraculous that lightning did not immediately strike Trump as

the word "inappropriate" escaped his lips. How about his little, private and confidential tete-a-tetes with Putin just for starters.

12. Something doesn't add up there.

...."the details contained in the book may not be truthful..." In that case, it wouldn't be "highly classified information" would it? Or, if it is actually highly classified AND not truthful, then extending that logic to his statement of: “I will consider every conversation with me as president, highly classified.", results in a condition of every conversation with tRump as being untruthful.

Probably faulty logic on my part but looks to me as he can't have it both ways.

22. Is it truly classified or fake news?

13. fuck you, asshole trump. illegitimate president. never my president.

14. In other words, he is planning on arresting Bolton when the book comes out

15. And of course

trump/pinocchio never lies......

[hamsterjill]

16. Oh anything that doesn't flatter Trump is "inappropriate"

Such a fucking cry baby shit ass.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Funny, but I thought the government had all kinds of rules on how information is classified. Maybe I

have the US confused with my past employer. Guess we can add another level of classification: Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and Moronic statements.

18. Bolton's book supposedly contains info damaging to Trump (hype to generate sales)

but not important enough to Bolton that he was willing to testify before Congress (no consideration for the welfare of the country) but gossipy enough that he expects us to pay for it.

[murielm99]

19. "Inappropriate."

I wonder when he learned that big word. Someone must have taught it to him recently.
