On the Meaning of the Bolton Book

Donald Trump is so ignorant, he doesn’t know that Finland is an independent country. He sucks up to dictators, and attempts to intervene in criminal investigations touching their interests, in an effort to curry favor with them. Everything he does is directed towards his re-election. He asked the Chinese to help him win in November. Even his acolytes make fun of him behind his back. It’s not a pretty picture.

Of course, we’ve known all of this for years–only the details have changed. The real significance of this is that, in spite of the incredibly dismal picture the people in his administration have painted, HIS BASE STILL SUPPORTS HIM 100 PERCENT. No amount of incompetence or corruption or authoritarian behavior can change their minds. He’s a strong man and a disruptor, and he’s on their side against the foreigners and the libs; that’s all they need to know.
