If this is aimed at me, I've been slammed with shit and haven't even read much about this Bolton book. (I detest Bolton, so he's rarely on my radar.)
Put me on the record as follows:
All Bolton wants to publish should be published, without edit. If Trump wants to fight/refute it, he must argue against it.
And if he can't handle Bolton, he's a moron. From a PR perspective, all one needs to say is "Warmonger, neocon, sour grapes, next question." Trump will of course fuck it up, being incapable of repeating such a simple message.
