John Bolton taunts President Trump, his former boss, on the back cover of his forthcoming book: "Game on."
In a memoir coming June 23 that the White House has tried to delay, former national security adviser Bolton will offer multiple revelations about Trump’s conduct in office, with direct quotes by the president and senior officials, according to a source familiar with the book.
Why it matters: Bolton, who was U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under President George W. Bush, is a lifelong conservative and longtime Fox News contributor who is well-known by the Trump base, the source pointed out.
In "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," Bolton will go beyond Ukraine, and argue there was "Trump misconduct with other countries," the source said.
Axios agreed to grant anonymity to the source in order to give readers a window into the book ahead of publication.
Behind the scenes: People close to Trump have been worried about the book because Bolton was known as the most prolific note taker in high-level meetings, Jonathan Swan reports.
Bolton would sit there, filling yellow legal pad after yellow legal pad with notes.
In short: Bolton saw a lot, and he wrote it down in real time. And when he left, the White House never got those notes back.
Former national security adviser John Bolton's book will be published on June 23 over the objections of the White House, which claims even after a four-month prepublication review that the manuscript contains classified information, Bolton's lawyer said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Wednesday.
Why it matters: Bolton alleges in his book that President Trump tied the freezing of $391 million in security aid to Ukraine to demands for investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden — a core allegation in the impeachment of the president. Trump has strongly denied the claim.
Should have testified before the House Impeachment Committee. But this will help make the summer hot, hot, hot and November not, not, not.

OK folks, real strategy session here:
Trump has announced his first in-person rally on the site of the largest African-American massacre in history on Juneteenth. Insensitive? Antagonizing? Disrespectful?
No, strategic. Racial division is his strategy to win reelection.
He wants a really big story in which he controls the narrative. His poll numbers are dropping; he NEEDS the really big story. Trump is an idiot but don't for one second think that the people around him and behind him are idiots. They are brilliant strategists. Brilliant and evil, meaning they will do anything to win.
Here is his reelection narrative:
"Those people" want to harm good people like you. They are animals and only Trump has the will to stand up to their thuggery, looting, and chaos. He is the "Law and Order" President.
He is now going to create the picture he wants America to see on their television sets.
It will be the first in-person CoVid rally; ALL the nation's media will be there to cover it. Trump in Tulsa on Juneteenth, the media will be waiting for the really big story with bated breath. It is so provocative that it begs for protesters.
They are BEGGING for protesters.
If there is any protest crowd at all in Tulsa, they will plant provocateurs in the crowd to start an altercation. They will have people to begin fights between each other to seed mayhem. The provocateurs will have flashbangs or explosives to feed panic. The provocateurs will create violence and rioting and looting for the media to cover. I know, the protestors will be committed to nonviolence. That's why they will seed the crowd with Supremacists, Three Percenters, and Boogaloo types. They want blood and gore on the TV screens and they'll use whoever to get it.
Why?
Trump's team knows that nothing will galvanize his base and scare White Suburban voters like the photos of fires, bloody faces, and destruction in middle America. He can stop the slide in his numbers by showing them their worst fears.
This rally is not disrespect. This is a reelection strategy. Remember, the Electoral College can be won with only 23% of the popular vote if you can get those votes in the right states.
So, what do we do?
We stage non-violent silent sit-ins or lay-ins for 8:46 at staggered intervals around the country. EVERYWHERE BUT OKLAHOMA. Make Tulsa a non-story. Make the really big story nationwide, non-violent, racially diverse protests everywhere except where Trump is. Trump rallies are what they are. If the story is everywhere else, the media will cover Trump for the opening five minutes and cut away to something interesting.

The Daily 202: Trump poised to accept GOP nod in Jacksonville, Fla., on 60th anniversary of ‘Ax Handle Saturday’ By James Hohmann June 11 at 12:34 PM ET with Mariana Alfaro
On Aug. 27, 1960, a mob of 200 white people in Jacksonville, Fla. – organized by the Ku Klux Klan and joined by some of the city’s police officers – chased and beat peaceful civil rights protesters who were trying to integrate downtown lunch counters. The bloody carnage that followed – in which ax handles and baseball bats were used to club African Americans, who sought sanctuary in a church – is remembered as “Ax Handle Saturday.”
A permit had already been approved for the 60th anniversary commemoration of those events when Republican National Committee officials tentatively decided to move their convention festivities from Charlotte to the northern Florida city. This happened because North Carolina public health officials resisted President Trump’s demand that they commit to allowing him to speak before a packed indoor arena amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Under a revised plan, which is still being finalized and has not been announced, Trump would accept his party’s nomination for a second term on Aug. 27, according to three sources familiar with the deliberations. One venue under consideration would be the 15,000-person-capacity VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. Hemming Park, where local civil rights leaders have planned their commemoration, is a mile away.
This is already causing friction in the city of 900,000, which is about 30 percent black. In 1960, Rodney Hurst was 16 and the president of the local Youth Council of the NAACP. He and several of his black high school classmates were sitting at a “whites only” lunch counter in Jacksonville when they were spit on – and then the violence began. Now 76, Hurst is aghast at the RNC plan. He said the commemoration event is more important than ever. “Donald Trump is a racist,” Hurst said in an interview Wednesday night. “To bring a racist to town for his acceptance speech will only further separate an already racially separated community.”
The RNC did not respond to a request for comment. Trump has strenuously denied that he is a racist.
The optics are messy against the backdrop of the nationwide protests and the larger cultural reckoning sparked by the Memorial Day killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
It’s part of a pattern. Trump told reporters on Wednesday that his first campaign rally since the start of the coronavirus pandemic will take place next Friday in Tulsa. In 1921, that city was the site of one of the worst race massacres in U.S. history. A white mob descended on an affluent black neighborhood. As many as 300 people died. The June 19 rally also happens to coincide with Juneteenth, a holiday widely celebrated in the black community to mark the day that the last American slaves were freed. Oklahoma is not a battleground in the general election, and the county that includes Tulsa has seen an uptick in new cases since the start of June, but the state’s relaxed restrictions mean the Trump reelection campaign can assemble the big crowd that the president has been craving.
continues because this fucking tiresome website has copy paste issues.

other significant wrinkle as it relates to Jacksonville: One reason that the RNC gravitated toward the city is because Mayor Lenny Curry is the former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida and has been eager to host the national convention. Early Tuesday morning, responding to protesters and calls from players for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Curry ordered the removal of the bronze statue of a Confederate soldier that since 1898 has been the centerpiece of Hemming Park. Speaking to a crowd of Black Lives Matter activists later that day, where the “Ax Handle Saturday” commemoration is scheduled for August, the GOP mayor pledged that that he will remove all remaining Confederate monuments throughout the city, according to The Florida Times-Union.
Curry’s move presents quite the contrast with Trump, who pledged on Wednesday to block any effort to rename 10 U.S. Army bases that honor Confederate generals. “These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom,” Trump wrote on Twitter, naming installations in North Carolina, Texas and Georgia. “Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations.”
Trump has chosen again to use Confederate names and iconography as a wedge issue to gin up his base. He did the same amid the fallout after he declared that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the racial violence three summers ago in Charlottesville, where a counterprotester was killed by an avowed neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a crowd.
Trump’s own defense secretary, Mark Esper, said earlier this week that he would consider proposals for renaming bases. Several of the country’s most prominent former military figures, including retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, have said doing so is long overdue. The Marine Corps announced a ban last week on Confederate symbols in public spaces at its facilities, and Navy said earlier this week that it is moving to do the same. Just moments after Trump’s tweetstorms defending the Confederate base names, NASCAR announced that it will ban the display of the Confederate flag from all of its events and properties. Separately, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called on Wednesday for the removal of Confederate statues from the U.S. Capitol.

Around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, protesters in Richmond toppled an iconic statue of Jefferson Davis, who was president of the Confederacy, about a half-mile down Monument Avenue from a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that Gov. Ralph Northam (D) is fighting in court to remove.
Back in Jacksonville, Hurst has watched the protests unfold since Floyd’s killing and wondered whether this might be the turning point that he’s been waiting for all his life. The year before “Ax Handle Saturday,” in 1959, the city opened Nathan Bedford Forrest High School to honor the Confederate general who had become the first grand wizard of the KKK. A few years back, they got the name changed. Now it’s Westside High School. And he was happy to see the Confederate statue go down in his hometown this week. “You can give some props to the mayor,” said Hurst, who previously served eight years as a Democratic member of the Jacksonville City council and wrote a book in 2018 about his experiences in the civil rights movement called “It was Never about a Hot Dog and a Coke.”
But he lamented what has not changed since that terrible day 60 years ago, and he said “the jury is still out” on whether this moment will permanently shift the public consciousness. “Jacksonville is separated by a manmade boundary – Interstate 95 – and a natural boundary – the St. Johns River,” he said. “Blacks live north and west of the river, and whites live east and south. There have been a few efforts here and there to change that, but none of any particular consequence. I would never use the word ‘progressive’ and Jacksonville in the same sentence. Jacksonville’s movement toward dealing with the uncomfortable subject of race in the community has been very slow. Painfully slow.”

Here is his reelection narrative:

He is now going to create the picture he wants America to see on their television sets.
It will be the first in-person CoVid rally; ALL the nation's media will be there to cover it. Trump in Tulsa on Juneteenth, the media will be waiting for the really big story with bated breath. It is so provocative that it begs for protesters.
They are BEGGING for protesters.
If there is any protest crowd at all in Tulsa, they will plant provocateurs in the crowd to start an altercation. They will have people to begin fights between each other to seed mayhem. The provocateurs will have flashbangs or explosives to feed panic. The provocateurs will create violence and rioting and looting for the media to cover. I know, the protestors will be committed to nonviolence. That's why they will seed the crowd with Supremacists, Three Percenters, and Boogaloo types. They want blood and gore on the TV screens and they'll use whoever to get it.
Why?
Trump's team knows that nothing will galvanize his base and scare White Suburban voters like the photos of fires, bloody faces, and destruction in middle America. He can stop the slide in his numbers by showing them their worst fears.
This rally is not disrespect. This is a reelection strategy. Remember, the Electoral College can be won with only 23% of the popular vote if you can get those votes in the right states.
So, what do we do?

Make the really big story nationwide, non-violent, racially diverse protests everywhere except where Trump is. Trump rallies are what they are. If the story is everywhere else, the media will cover Trump for the opening five minutes and cut away to something interesting.

Under a revised plan, which is still being finalized and has not been announced, Trump would accept his party’s nomination for a second term on Aug. 27, according to three sources familiar with the deliberations. One venue under consideration would be the 15,000-person-capacity VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. Hemming Park, where local civil rights leaders have planned their commemoration, is a mile away.
This is already causing friction in the city of 900,000, which is about 30 percent black.
In 1960, Rodney Hurst was 16 and the president of the local Youth Council of the NAACP. He and several of his black high school classmates were sitting at a “whites only” lunch counter in Jacksonville when they were spit on – and then the violence began. Now 76, Hurst is aghast at the RNC plan. He said the commemoration event is more important than ever. “Donald Trump is a racist,” Hurst said in an interview Wednesday night. “To bring a racist to town for his acceptance speech will only further separate an already racially separated community.”
The RNC did not respond to a request for comment. Trump has strenuously denied that he is a racist.
The optics are messy against the backdrop of the nationwide protests and the larger cultural reckoning sparked by the Memorial Day killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
It’s part of a pattern. Trump told reporters on Wednesday that his first campaign rally since the start of the coronavirus pandemic will take place next Friday in Tulsa. In 1921, that city was the site of one of the worst race massacres in U.S. history. A white mob descended on an affluent black neighborhood. As many as 300 people died. The June 19 rally also happens to coincide with Juneteenth, a holiday widely celebrated in the black community to mark the day that the last American slaves were freed. Oklahoma is not a battleground in the general election, and the county that includes Tulsa has seen an uptick in new cases since the start of June, but the state’s relaxed restrictions mean the Trump reelection campaign can assemble the big crowd that the president has been craving.

Trump has chosen again to use Confederate names and iconography as a wedge issue to gin up his base. He did the same amid the fallout after he declared that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the racial violence three summers ago in Charlottesville, where a counterprotester was killed by an avowed neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a crowd.
Trump’s own defense secretary, Mark Esper, said earlier this week that he would consider proposals for renaming bases. Several of the country’s most prominent former military figures, including retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, have said doing so is long overdue. The Marine Corps announced a ban last week on Confederate symbols in public spaces at its facilities, and Navy said earlier this week that it is moving to do the same. Just moments after Trump’s tweetstorms defending the Confederate base names, NASCAR announced that it will ban the display of the Confederate flag from all of its events and properties. Separately, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called on Wednesday for the removal of Confederate statues from the U.S. Capitol.

Back in Jacksonville, Hurst has watched the protests unfold since Floyd’s killing and wondered whether this might be the turning point that he’s been waiting for all his life. The year before “Ax Handle Saturday,” in 1959, the city opened Nathan Bedford Forrest High School to honor the Confederate general who had become the first grand wizard of the KKK. A few years back, they got the name changed. Now it’s Westside High School. And he was happy to see the Confederate statue go down in his hometown this week. “You can give some props to the mayor,” said Hurst, who previously served eight years as a Democratic member of the Jacksonville City council and wrote a book in 2018 about his experiences in the civil rights movement called “It was Never about a Hot Dog and a Coke.”
But he lamented what has not changed since that terrible day 60 years ago, and he said “the jury is still out” on whether this moment will permanently shift the public consciousness. “Jacksonville is separated by a manmade boundary – Interstate 95 – and a natural boundary – the St. Johns River,” he said. “Blacks live north and west of the river, and whites live east and south. There have been a few efforts here and there to change that, but none of any particular consequence. I would never use the word ‘progressive’ and Jacksonville in the same sentence. Jacksonville’s movement toward dealing with the uncomfortable subject of race in the community has been very slow. Painfully slow.”
