‘Morning Joe’: John Bolton Book Reveals Trump’s ‘Unpatriotic Behavior’

‘These are actions that endanger our national security, that endanger the American people’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "Yeah, I was tweeting about this yesterday, about this book really describes a president poised to completely botch a pandemic, which appears has happened. Some more from the book. Bolton reportedly writes the President did not know that Britain has nuclear weapons and even asked if Finland was a part of Russia. Bolton also writes that President Trump came closer to withdrawing the United States from NATO than previously known. Bolton describes a scene from Trump’s 2018 meeting with North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un, where Secretary Pompeo slipped a note to Bolton about the President which said, 'He’s so full of blank.' Bolton also details how even the President’s closest advisers had an unfavorable opinion about his abilities, such as Chief of Staff John Kelly who openly asked about Trump, 'What if we have a real crisis like 9/11 with the way he makes decisions?' You know, Joe, this book illustrates potentially just how bad, how overtly bad things were inside the White House. My question to you is, what is the duty of the Mattises, the Tillersons or the Boltons to do something or say something in real time? These aren’t just little nuances that might be troubling. This is unpatriotic behavior. These are actions that endanger our national security, that endanger the American people."
