Folks on the left are pushing the book of former National Security Advisor John Bolton because it is filled with criticisms of President Donald Trump.
But the criticisms and claims are so ridiculous, it’s hard to believe that anyone would believe them. For example, Bolton claims that Trump had a discussion with Chinese president Xi Jinping about the concentration camps for Uighurs and that Trump told him he should keep building them. There was even the ridiculous claim that Trump asked China for election help.
Not only is that completely inconsistent with Trump’s position on China, which has been critical of them on mutiple levels including over the coronavirus, but he’s also been very supportive of the rights of both the Uighurs and the Hong Kong protesters, warning China against further action against protesters. More than that, Xi doesn’t admit to the concentrations camps so he surely wouldn’t be admitting them to Trump when it could then be used against him.
Even more ridiculous was the claim Trump would ask Xi for election help after the whole Russia collusion hoax.
It’s literally a string of sensationalist claims that beggar common sense and are against Trump’s actions and positions.
Here’s another one: Bolton claiming that Vladimir Putin convinced Trump to support Nicholas Maduro.
But in fact, Trump risked a lot to support and is still supporting Juan Guaido, Maduro’s opponent, who the U.S. recognizes as the legitimate leader of Venezuela.
When you find one lie, it's hard to trust the rest tbh https://t.co/McRZgd5tHv pic.twitter.com/L29RWb4gNM

As many have observed, Bolton refused to testify voluntarily during the impeachment trial, allowing people to bandy about what he “claimed” yet not holding any of his claims to being under oath.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer directly disputed the China claims. “Absolutely untrue, never happened. I was there, I have no recollection of that ever happening. I don’t believe it’s true, I don’t believe it ever happened,” Lighthizer said Wednesday at a Senate Finance Committee hearing.
There’s literally no support for Bolton’s claims.
So why would he say such things?
Former National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz, laid out what he believes the “turning point” was as to why his former boss Bolton might have flipped, that Fleitz believe “disproves his whole book.”
From Daily Caller:

Bolton is literally breaking all normal tradition of not writing about a president he served while the president is still in office.
But the turning point according to Fleitz was when Trump decided not to bomb Iran as Bolton wanted.
Those that hate Trump will feel their hatred is reinforced. Those with brains will examine the evidence and decide accordingly. So far, it isn’t looking very credible.
