Former national security adviser John Bolton rejected a claim from a Newsmax host who asserted that the behavior of President Donald Trump deterred the Russians from invading Ukraine. Bolton emphasized that Trump “barely knew where Ukraine was.”
Speaking with the conservative network Monday night, Bolton sat back as host Rob Schmitt listed Trump accomplishments that the broadcaster claimed helped hinder Russia from attacking Ukraine. All the while, the pro-Trump network displayed a chyron that read, “Trump was tough on Russia.”
But Bolton, who has become a vocal critic of Trump, denied that his former boss was tough on Russia, claiming that Trump complained about any sanctions on Russian oligarchs in the United States. Then Bolton, who said Trump “did not” do a better job with Russia than President Biden, went one step further about Trump’s knowledge of Ukraine.
“The fact is that he barely knew where Ukraine was,” he said.
During the interview, Bolton claimed that Trump once asked then-White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly whether Finland was part of Russia. The former national security adviser emphasized that the narrative on Newsmax regarding the Ukraine invasion was a departure from reality.
What’s so crazy about that quote is that it shows Trump demonstrating curiosity. I don’t think I recall that ever happening.Here's the genius Republicans look up to:

Fake news.
But Xiden doesn't know where he is
He knew enough about Ukraine to try and extort them to investigate his rival. That's all he needed to know.Trump isn't even aware of our national parks. How the hell would he know where Ukraine is.
Even the people who call Bolton a liar know damn well he's telling the truth here.
Yep, and even there, he just believed everything Rudy told him. Trump seemed to honestly believe that Biden was extorting Ukraine to protect his son. How can a president know nothing about his own government? How come I know that the world demanded Shokin be removed, including Ron Johnson; that Joe Biden was vice-president, therefore working on behalf of the president, and Trump, the POTUS, does not?He knew enough about Ukraine to try and extort them to investigate his rival. That's all he needed to know.

Trump was the ultimate gaffe master, especially so considering how he bragged about being a genius, a stable one at that!
And his supporters complain about Biden.
This about covers it.Trump was the ultimate gaffe master, especially so considering how he bragged about being a genius, a stable one at that!
She was wonderful! Thanks! I had almost forgotten her takes on him!This about covers it.
