    "Seeking to explain during an interview on Friday why several top White House officials have criticized President Trump after leaving the administration, former acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney in turn criticized Trump’s lack of experience and poor hiring skills when he entered office, as allies of the president look to fend off a wave of attacks from top generals and damaging information in John Bolton’s new book."

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbr...ney-blames-trumps-hiring-skills/#6aafefee2f5a

    Mattis, Bolton, Kelly, Tilerson, Scaramucci, Spencer, Sims, these aren’t Omarosas, but textbook conservatives, not RINO’s, not Never Trumpers, but all at one time icons on the right, hand picked by Trump, Trump insiders, all Fox favorites, "regular contributors," and today they have all come out in public to warn America that Trump is unqualified, unethical, unprincipled, and pretty much only concerned and motivated solely with what works best for Trump

    Coincidental, because Trump made a few errors in hiring people as Mulvaney would like us to believe, or a dire warning to be taken seriously?

    Because there's money in it. My book, "Trump is ba'a'ad. Mkay" is coming out soon. Reserve your copy today!

    I don't recall Mattis, Bolton, Kelly, Tilerson, Scaramucci, Spencer, or Sims ever authoring a book, so that blows that theory

    Trumpsters have drunk too much of the Kool Aid. They have abandoned all semblance of reason. Even once Trump is thoroughly ousted from the WH, they will continue to live in denial and I am sure they will continue to support him as he fades away into obscurity.

    Anything anti-Trump has an eager audience. I thought Bolton had a book!

    Oh, my bad, Mattis, Kelly, Tilerson, Scaramucci, Spencer, and Sims, all who I described aren’t Omarosas, but textbook conservatives, not RINO’s, not Never Trumpers, but all at one time icons on the right, hand picked by Trump, Trump insiders, all Fox favorites, "regular contributors," and none of whom need nor have any reason for an "eager audience"

    Well, they have their eager audience. I can't say what they will do with it. Maybe they will support Biden!

    As I noted, given their status in life, none of need nor have any reason for an "eager audience"

    Given they all feel having been on the inside that Trump is unqualified, unethical, unprincipled, and pretty much only concerned and motivated solely with what works best for Trump, probably will vote for whoever runs against Trump

    Which brings us back to the question, is it all coincidental, or a dire warning coming from serious people to be taken seriously?

    Trump is surely counting on that. I think he will continue with his rallies and they will be every bit as well attended. He will continue to sow the unrest he thrives upon. Even then, I don't think they'll see it for what it is. But then, few who dabble in hero worship ever see things clearly, do they?

    Ex-Trump officials are writing books hoping to get Trump rich themselves off of them. John Bolton just happens to be the latest.

    Its right before an election, so no, its not coincidental. Are you sure there are no more books from this group?

    And you don't find that having dozens of former WH cabinet members speaking out about Trump's incompetence is alarming?

    Who has left Trump's administration and orbit?

    As I informed the above poster offering the same dismissal you are attempting, neither Mattis, Kelly, Tilerson, Scaramucci, Spencer, nor Sims have or are authoring a book, so the opinion you offered is invalid

    Wait until Trump unfolds his manly manhood. You ain't seen nothing yet.

    Ain't buying that one, too many serious people with inside experience, none coming from the left, in fact, most right wing darlings, nor any selling books, offering the same opinion, hardly coincidental, more so a warning

    Mad Dog Mattis was the darling of the US military until he turned on his commander in chief and went all CNN on him. Military types don' forget things like that.

    So your enemies are now your friends? Are you sure there are no more books?

    None of those people mentioned are shrinking violets, and are self made. They sure as heck don't need a book for money nor attention :)

    Do you guys realize how ignorant you look when your post are destroyed? It's like every thread gets more ignorant , and the hardcore on this forum act like they don't even see it. We need an assclown voting system.

    Kudos Archives for having the intellect to see through the blind ignorance we're dealing with.

    Well, any former staffer knows they can make extra buck on a book. Hateful liberals will throw all their cash at you if you write something that they like.

    Why don't you go ahead and say "fake news"! You know you're itching too. All these life long conservatives are in it for the money and have been waiting for Trump to sell him out. Sounds logical.

    Well, first of all, a book is not “news”.
    And second - nobody, but a few people, really know how much truth there is in that or any other book about Trump.
    In over all, Bolton seem to be the man who truly believes in his cause, which makes me hope that whatever he wrote in there was not damaging to the country. I think it’s just a cash grab.
