A Newsmax segment from earlier in August turned ugly when host Eric Bolling and his guest, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, got into a literal shouting match over their respective takes on Trump’s foreign policy approach.
In the segment, Bolling brings up the state of affairs in regards to how safe the United States is under a Biden presidency – highlighting the ongoing threats from adversarial countries like Russia and China and even how Bolton had a bounty put out on him.

With the abovementioned in mind, Bolling asked Bolton how he could possibly come to the conclusion that the country is more safe under Biden than it was under Trump.
“We have China threatening us, we have Russia threatening us, you have a $300,000 bounty on your head – how in the world can you think that we’re safer now than when we were under President Trump when he was willing to put missiles into Syrian airbases with Russians on the base? What’s going on here, sir?”

In Bolton’s response, he portrayed Trump to be completely inept when it came to foreign policy, claiming that the former president didn’t “understand” anything when it pertained to “international affairs” and painted Trump’s policies as being incoherent.
“He didn’t understand fundamentally much of anything about international affairs. His decisions were not based on a coherent philosophy or coherent policy, they were erratic. He…”

After Bolton listed off the reasoning behind his position on Trump, the interview took a wild turn with Bolling and Bolton yelling over each other with talking points about the current and former administration – with the heated exchange eventually drifting over to the botched Afghanistan withdrawal from August of 2021.
Between the frequent interruptions perpetuated by the two, Bolling attributed blame to Biden for the sloppy exit from Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of American servicemembers.
“You know what made us less safe? Is when Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan, 13 Americans died…and now the Taliban tells us back off, don’t kill al-Qaida. Are you out of your mind, sir?”
Periodically interjecting in Bolling’s point on Afghanistan, Bolton claimed that Biden was only executing the plan that had already been set in motion by Trump before he left office, saying, “That was Trump’s deal…that was Trump’s deal…That’s right, same thing they would’ve done under Donald Trump. No, who cut the deal Eric? Who cut the deal?”
Bolton, at one point, accused the Newsmax host of being “embarrassed” for not knowing what he was talking about, to which Bolling shot back prior to wrapping up the segment by stating that Bolton is the one whose really embarrassed.

“Oh, I’m embarrassed? I think you’re embarrassed for not knowing what Trump was going to do and hiding – hiding behind some false narrative that Trump wasn’t prepared for foreign policy when we were safer for four years sir…Now we have countries threatening us and Americans are dead in Afghanistan.”

Gotta get rid of the old DC rats that don’t keep up. Everyone saw the the deal and the leaders running the show, who were replaced by wokism generals under Biden (Obama) to achieve his Jihod on American troops, and then forced the clot shot on the entire military.
Bolton is a MORON! TRUMP would have NEVER closed Bagram air base ! TRUMP would have left 2000 to maintain death from above at a moment’s notice! Bolton is a RETARD! He is glad the Taliban is now well-armed and 13 Americans are dead. F Bolton!
Bolton is a Communist and was a plant in the Trump Administration.
You’re sending hate towards the wrong person you should be sending at that hate to your boy Don the con I wonder what he planned on doing with the nuclear document’s he kept for 17 months let me guess it was planted typical response from a retrumplican’t cult member and don’t need to be sending donations to help out his defense funds never knew a billionaire needed donations for his defense🙄can’t make this sh%* up 😆
I love watching slimy creatures from the swamp squirm
It’s tough arguing with a madman and Bolton has been certifiable for a long time now.
Bolton is just another Liz “spank me harder daddy” Cheney globalist…..
Right now she’s a little communist twit that’s smart enough to get elected…well…have the cheaters get her elected, but get her alone on a desert island for enough time to help her read and understand the constitution and its import to the free world and maybe she’ll give up on the satanic globalist domination which dates back to the Tower of Babel. Remember, one of the greatest Christians who ever lived was Saul of Tarsus, who murdered Christians, but became Paul the apostle after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus and wrote more New Testament than any other inspired writer. If AOC converts, she could be another inspirational beauty like Candace Owens. Just saying.
Bolton is a “play along to get along” swamper and then plays the Trump was a puppy in a bee hive card when it comes to foreign affairs. Yeah he was if he followed people like Bolton who tries to make us think that every one who doesn’t agree with his type of foreign policy just doesn’t understand what the real problem is. The actual problem solvers that Trump followed when possible, weren’t the “TV” generals and policy wonks that “act” like conservatives on camera, but still slam the MAGA people when possible. The real problem is guys like Bolton who regularly perpetuate foreign conflicts and hostilities because it keeps the American taxpayer paying into the “military industrial complex”, of which he is a part and thus benefits. Bolton is like a boxer who never throws the right punch, but keeps jabbing and dancing maybe winning by a close decision as long as somebody is paying him to do that!
I like newsmax when its not ap reposts sometimes.
