In a private meeting during the 2019 G20 meeting in Japan, Trump and Xi were accompanied only by their interpreters, according to Bolton's book, parts of which were published in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
Xi "explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang," Bolton wrote, citing the interpreter's account. The interpreter added that "Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," according to the book.
Nice job Republicans.

The people who call themselves Republicans are.

And this is your example of "cheating"? Or did you just get carried away with your spewing forth of disdain?

It is a fair and balanced observation based on tons of history. Republicans just cheated in the Georgia election a week or so ago!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Debatable. We don't have actual full quotes from the book, just 'Bolton claims that the interpreter said that Trump said...X'. Presumably that means that Bolton himself didn't hear what Trump said - unless Bolton can't speak English. So he's reporting what someone else - so far unnamed - said Trump said. IOW hearsay from an unnamed source. Which is why I'm suspending judgment.
That might also give him sufficient room for a defense: 'I never said it was true, just reporting what the interpreter said to me.'
(1) The claim might be that the book reveals information that can damage or reveal the sources.
(2) AFAIK the claim is that the book has not been cleared under national security parameters, as Bolton agreed to.
(3) Is Bolton's book this short? Is this the only point in the whole book?
Stay classy, my friend.Last edited by DivineOb; 06-18-2020, 12:14 PM.
