Former Trump National Security Adviser-turned-MAGA-critic John Bolton offered President Donald Trump a bit of praise on Sunday for his newly-imposed naval blockade on ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

Bolton shared his take a few hours after the president announced the blockade on Truth Social.

He's fully aware what an imbecile tRUMP is. Throw him an accolade or two. Maybe buy $1 million in his many shit-coin Ops. FOLLOW THE PLAN! Tim Apple knew how to play tRUMP's game early. Jeff Bozos too.

and an opportunist. We saw that when hoping he would testify in hearings related to the Mueller probe and first impeachment, but he had "a book to sell".

At best, only a temporary, occasional, fleeting ally in the war against fascism.

He was just another Bush-era asshole who didn't say a damn thing until he left office and wanted to promote his shitty book.

so that is his "single issue" thing.

Ironically, the PNAC co-founder Bill Kristol (a noted anti45 neocon), has moved away from that with respect to 45 and penned this last week - It’s Not a TACO. It’s a Surrender.
