John Bolton Calls Mike Pompeo 'Delusional' Over Second Trump Admin Remarks: 'Eviscerated His Credibility
John Bolton, former National Security Advisor for President Donald Trump, criticized Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for saying on Tuesday that Trump won a second presidential term despite the national election having been called by major networks and news outlets for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.
During a Tuesday news conference, Pompeo was asked about a possible transition of power for the Biden administration. Pompeo replied, "There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."
Despite Pompeo's comment suggesting that Trump will have a second presidential term, Biden won the 2020 election by at least 4,909,587 popular votes and 76 electoral votes.
"I think it's delusional for Mike to say that, and I must say I think he's eviscerated his credibility internationally," Bolton told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer in response to Pompeo's comments during a televised interview on Tuesday.

Pompey has never had any. He is a pompous windbag, just like his boss. Both will soon be gone.
Even the Law Firms filing suits are beginning to worry about their reputations.

bad as it sounds like written down. He does go on to say 'whoever is the next administration', etc.
It wasn't a funny joke to those of us on edge (at all) but I do believe it was meant as a lame joke.
