Fred Fleitz: John Bolton’s Book Is Disproved By Its Story Where Trump Defied His Advisers to Bomb Iran

RUSH EXCERPT:

FLEITZ: “I want to talk about this in terms of what John Bolton called the turning point for him with Mr. Trump, which he said was the most irrational thing I ever saw a president do, and this is one President Trump decided last June not to bomb Iran at the advice of John Bolton and other national security advisors. You may remember that a drone was shot down and at the last minute President Trump decided he was not going to attack Iran because we would have killed 100-200 people. Now Martha, that was a principal decision. This was not to win votes. This was not to promote the president domestically, it reflected the principal not to get America into additional wars. And it was an active leadership, because he bugged all of his national security advisors, the Secretary of Defense, so when we hear that the president does not have principles and is not qualified to lead, this incident that is put forward as the turning point for his relationship with President Trump in my mind it disproves the whole book.”
