Trump played him like a fiddle. He would use Bolton’s insane war mongering to bring the other side to the table until a negotiation was made and then Bolton would be pissed he didn’t get his war. Trump did this a couple times with North Korea, China, and Iran. Bolton still doesn’t get he was being used as leverage.

It's not "wrong" because I didn't claim that was what Trump did. It's a less extreme example to illustrate a point. You can't read things into my post and then "correct" me because the thing you read into it isn't true. (And he turned every dollar he got into $10,000, so you're off by an order of magnitude.)
Most people, especially the ones calling Trump a "failed billionaire," couldn't turn $100 into $100. They'd have it spent on some bullshit in a day.
