CNN: Trump endorsed Chinese concentration camps for minority Muslims...

Jake Tapper, a few minutes go, reading from Bolton's book.

On edit, here's an excerpt from the book:

"Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do."

to resign. There should be calls for him to step down. Time for Lady G to fix his hair back to the sane Lady G and walk over and tell him they can't do this anymore and tell him they are all stepping down and think it is best he do the same because their cover is being blown.

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great.” Trump added, “I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”
