President Donald Trump didn't leave a single thought to himself as he went off on his former national security adviser, John Bolton, after he pleaded guilty to mishandling classified documents.

Check out the prez's Truth Social post from Friday night -- he goes off on Bolton, calling him "a very dumb, unbalanced, and unskilled former representative of the United States of America."

The pop star unloaded in a lengthy post Sunday ... claiming 3 years ago coats, jewelry, and roughly half her wardrobe disappeared from her home. Britney says the response she got afterward was essentially that nothing could be done ... and she says that experience hit her harder than people realized.

According to Britney, the alleged theft "100 percent hurt" her emotionally and left her feeling helpless. She says, looking back now, the incident may have fueled the version of herself fans have seen online ever since ... admitting she "100 percent rebelled" on IG and probably came across as "cheap and probably secretly angry."

But she's also plenty pissed with Tyler for her children being overexposed to the world with the viral video, which is a big problem for her as a protective mama.
