A horrible connection if it pans out: On Dec. 30, Trump learned what Bolton’s book would say. Bolton has been pushing war with Iran for years. Iran’s General Soleimani was in US sights for years. Trump suddenly ordered his assassination on Jan. 3, four days after seeing the book.

Trump's corruption has been so obvious for so long, what's a little more bribery? I don't know what it will take for republicans to publicly acknowledge what their leader is. "We do this all the time. Get over it."
