Unfortunately, honesty and Donald John Archie Bunker Trump are not friends.
Unable to block the release of John Bolton's memoir, The Room Where it Happened, now on sale, America's Oldest Baby is going after another pending release from Simon & Schuster, this one written by his niece, Mary.
"WAAAAAH! She signed a NDA! She can't release the book! Robert! Call my lawyers!"
Robert is Dumb Donald's youngest brother, who is filing an injunction to block the book's release, set for July 28, five weeks after Bolton's book. The Non-Disclosure Agreement President Trump is clinging to dates back nearly 20 years to a settlement over Mary's share of her grandfather's estate. It's different circumstances, but it's what is in the book that has the President hot & bothered.
"WAAA! She's blabbed about my taxes! WAAAAAAAHHHH!"
Trying to use the NDA as leverage in this case is another desperate act by Trump to hide the truth about his money and how he made it. If I'm not mistaken, and I probably am, anyway, the NDA would not be binding in this case. The truth is, the President is S-C-A-R-E-D that the contents of the book will sink his re-election chances, as if he hadn't already done a considerable amount of damage himself with his selfish attempts at restarting his rallies in the face of coronavirus.
Step by step, piece by piece, day by day, the facade is crumbling. If Trump fails in his re-election bid on November 3, you know what'll happen:
"WAAAAAHHH!"
An NDA is enforceable. When one signs it, you promise to follow the terms of that agreement. You can't just go against them without serious consequences. I don't know the details, but it sounds like Mary is a bit bitter and was propped to do a hatchet job on her uncle. Strange she should choose to do something 20 years after agreeing to terms of the NDA.
ReplyDeleteBolton I'm torn on. My father thought him to be a very smart guy and was one fo the few who seemed to "get it" when it came to public policy. However, the same applies; he signed an NDA when he left the White House, and he shouldn't be writing such a book - at least not yet (better to have one set up to release on his deathbed).
Bolton's book is out, and the NDA Mary signed has nothing to do with her book, but rather an unrelated matter. I think there's a statute of limitations on such things. President Trump is throwing the NDA out there to make people think he can block it, but he couldn't block Bolton's book, and his niece's is no different.
