Trump Threatens Bolton With 'Bombs Dropped on Him!' After Judge Rejects Block of Book

In an unhinged Twitter rant, President Donald Trump went after his former national security adviser John Bolton, threatening him and using violent language following a judge’s decision to allow publication of Bolton’s upcoming book.

On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the District of Columbia rejected Trump’s request to block publication of the book. But Trump pounced on Lamberth’s criticism of Bolton in the decision by raging on Twitter that the former national security adviser liked “killing people” and that he would pay “a really big price” and “will have bombs dropped on him!”

“Bolton broke the law and has been called out and rebuked for so doing, with a really big price to pay. He likes dropping bombs on people, and killing them. Now he will have bombs dropped on him!” the president wrote.

Lamberth wrote that Bolton’s memoir “likely jeopardized national security” but with more than 200,000 copies already distributed, “the damage is done.”

He sulks and ruminates, then comes up with a plan. That's how he's approaching Bolton's book being released. But "bombs"? You know that he'll say it was a joke, no matter how threatening and obvious it isn't. But Trumpy-boy is sending a wink and a nod to ANYONE who wishes to be in Trumpy's good graces by causing physical harm to Bolton.
