Bolton expos makes Trump figure of mockery

John Bolton’s most potent weapon against President Trump is simple but brutal — mockery.

By Bolton’s account, Trump on one occasion asked if Finland is part of Russia.
He was not aware that the United Kingdom possesses nuclear weapons.
He was eager to see if an autographed copy of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” could be delivered to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (whom Trump had nicknamed 'Rocket Man').

In the one detail that is likely to receive enormous attention, Bolton recounts a meeting during which Tillerson’s successor as secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, purportedly passed Bolton a note saying of Trump: “He is so full of shit.” Tillerson is said to have called Trump a “f- -king moron.” Bob Woodward’s book, Fear, characterizes lawyer John Dowd as believing Trump to be “a f- -king liar” and former Chief of Staff John Kelly to have considered him an “idiot.”

... it may be Bolton’s portrayal of Trump as out-of-his-depth and incompetent that lodges most firmly in the public mind.
