Here is the original thread

Responding to u/cvqfefe and u/beardedpepe :

Wonder why he's picking now all of a sudden to pound on Bolton as a dumb, stupid moron.

...I was turned off when he added Bolton to his cabinet back then. Now I know not every decision was meant to be liked but every decision was made on our behalf.... Using Bolton as a tool for negotiations makes so much sense now given his reputation

Hey guys. I thought both of you brought up interesting points and when I looked and considered things, I believe this was a pretty significant post for several reasons I will outline below.

u/cqvfefe - It seems strange on the surface, why would he waste time with Bolton, an imbecile no one cares about and is long past his prime. I think there is a bigger message here. The direct logic for mentioning Bolton is to give him a little bitchsmack for some foolish comments he made weeks prior, also to blow up his laughable "campaign" for President a little early if possible.

u/beardedpepe - It was cool to read that! I definitely don't think you were alone scratching your head when Bolton got in with Trump, many of us were perplexed. However the whole thing was so brief that I think we all resolved not to fret over it and move on. So in that sense, I am happy to now hear the explanation which comports PERFECTLY with the Art of War-style moves we expect of GEOTUS.

That said I also find it a little unusual for him to be directly explaining strategy. That is pretty atypical of his style, rare even. So I think there were good reasons to show some cards here, even with risks of letting your enemies have information. It must have been worth more to divulge this than the risk of letting them know when they gamed it out.

I think that Bolton is a proxy for someone else recently in Trump's orbit that MAGA is not fond of. Trump recounting this story and giving us the Why so we can relate back and understand what he might be doing associating with that guy. Additionally it serves as a reminder for other well disliked people Trump deals with in the future - there have been quite a few such moments just lately too.

We sometimes forget, its ALL 5D chess baby. 😎

Let's get to it:

• This post reminded me of the one he had about firing Dr. Birx recently right off the bat. He ALSO explained in that one that she was an idiotic [DS] tool and how he EASILY saw through her bullshit. There was also buried in there a definite ambiguity on his vax stance (up to now) which others mentioned in a sticky post here. He might be doing something similar here - giving a nod that his thoughts about Ukraine (or our current foreign relations generally) are FAR MORE nuanced than it might seem in the media.

• Several days this week Trump has released a video outlining policy goals for his 2nd administration, or recommendations of what course to take for House committees like Federal Weaponization under Jordan etc. So this might preclude a video coming out on foreign policy goals for his next term.

• Bolton is a big red COCK and Never Trumper grifter trying to sell his shitty books, not a serious candidate. However since he did announce Trump is beginning to bring the fight to him, possibly in hopes of crushing him and disposing of him long before he even gets to a debate stage. This is retaliation for Bolton's attacks on Trump a few weeks ago (already proven inert because of the changes in the document scandal)

• There are definitely some comms in this one; someone else pointed out "CONCEEDED" misspell letter e. EE = 55 5:5 that looks right to me.

• Also capitalized words: ALL NOTHING WARMONGER CONCEEDED ... also he wrote out the number 7 Seven Trillion Dollars. Someone smarter than me is going to find more in here for sure I think.

• Bringing up Bolton to give a rare look into just how Trump "uses" certain people we in MAGA find distasteful. Trump has been questioned for some of his endorsements and associations lately, and I think possiblt its begun to worry the team. So I think they are giving us a RARE REVEAL into the way Trump conducts political strategy.

• This is actually fairly unprecedented because of how direct the language is recounting why he hired Bolton and what he was useful for. Trump almost NEVER tips his hand like this so it definitely has SIGNIFICANT MEANING.

• Specifically, I think Trump is using Bolton here and the story as a PROXY for Lindsay Graham. Trump was scheduled to appear with him in SC (it may have happened already) and we find similarities aplenty between Bolton and Graham, who is commonly known as the biggest WARMONGER in all of Congress.

• As Kash Patel recently said to an audience when questioned about certain people Trump was seemingly bumping butts with, you have to make CONCESSIONS and work with distasteful people sometimes to accomplish plans.

• Trump is echoing that, but more importantly showing why he brings in questionable people like Bolton and that they mean NOTHING to him accept when they can help him achieve a means to an end.

• Again, it must be critical for Trump to come out and tip his hand while reminding MAGA that every decision is planned and that he has full control. If he is backing someone inexplicable to us such as Ronna McD, Lindsay Graham (No Name's bestie), or McCarthy there are good reasons why that is happening.

• This rare look into Bolton's short tenure, what Trump aimed to achieve (successfully) by recruiting him, and what his actual feelings about Bolton's track record of decisions are. He wants this story to be our reminder for the future, when he may align himself with other actors we find controversial.

• Last but not least: I get this odd feeling this may tie to Ukraine somehow. Trump's mention of the incredible costs of the war, all for nothing, just feels of a tap on the shoulder to me. Bolton was one who advised escalation constantly so I wonder if this isn't a hint that our recent decisions to up the ante in arms by sending advanced tanks to Ukraine will not result in greater tolls/costs later on down the line.

• Trump reminds us he is firmly against these type of hostilities and the wasteful results they inevitably produce. He negotiated favorably by using peace thru strength and Bolton was a tool to project that when Trump required it, nothing more. Trump is the premiere anti war candidate and has a proven track record of peace and incredible success in foreign policy matters.

Over and out.
