“He was prone to say from time to time: ‘What did they get out of it? What was the worth of the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan?’” Bolton said. “That is a kind of insensitivity that Trump does have, there’s no doubt about it.”
Why would a Trump cult member cite John Bolton to come to the aid of the cult master these days?
LOL Bolton today says Trump was prone to say from time to time:
‘What did they get out of it? What was the worth of the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan?’”
Bolton said.
“That is a kind of insensitivity that Trump does have, there’s no doubt about it.”
Bolton goes on to say he didn’t hear certain comments in France but adds, “
Now, did he say those things to other people later in the day? It’s certainly possible.”
Why is it certainly possible? Bolton has the answer to that as well;
“I don’t think he really holds anybody in high regard except his family.”
John Bolton disputed a story in The Atlantic claiming President Donald Trump had disparaged fallen World War I soldiers in 2018.

Bolton Says Trump Remarks on Military ‘Despicable’ If Accurate
September 4, 2020, 10:33 AM EDT
But Bolton, who published a book earlier this year that was heavily critical of his former boss, said the alleged remarks sounded accurate.
“I have not heard anybody say, ‘Oh, that doesn’t sound like the Donald Trump I know,’” Bolton said in the interview. Bolton said the remarks may have stemmed from Trump’s skepticism of U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“He was prone to say from time to time: ‘What did they get out of it? What was the worth of the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan?’” Bolton said. “That is a kind of insensitivity that Trump does have, there’s no doubt about it.”
Bolton was on the 2018 trip to Paris with Trump but said he didn’t hear the president disparage the dead Marines himself.
“I didn’t hear him say those things,” he said, adding later he probably would have included the remarks in his book if he had. “Now, did he say those things to other people later in the day? It’s certainly possible.”
Asked whether Trump has high regard for the military, Bolton said, “I don’t think he really holds anybody in high regard except his family.”
President Donald Trump’s alleged remarks disparaging soldiers who died in combat are “despicable” if accurate and will further damage him politically among service members and their families, his former National Security Adviser John Bolton said.
