President Donald Trump and his former National Security Advisor John Bolton found themselves in the rare position on Saturday of actually agreeing with each other.
Bolton joined CNNs Kaitlan Collins where he offered up a chuckle and a lesson to MAGA voters who supported Trump in the hopes hed push for no new wars. Trump announced earlier on Saturday that the U.S. and Israel were conducting strikes against Iran, targeting military bases and top leaders. Both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have pushed the Iranian people to overthrow their theocratic and civil rights-violating regime.
Bolton worked under Trump during his first term as National Security advisor, but the relationship soured with Bolton publicly criticizing Trumps lack of experience while Trump pushed back on Boltons hawkish foreign policy. Striking Iran, however, is something Bolton has long been behind.
On Saturday, Collins asked Bolton if he had a message for MAGA voters who backed Trumps foreign policy message in past campaigns of avoiding wars and regime change in the Middle East. Bolton chuckled to himself and told the voters they made the mistake of thinking Trump has any sort of foundational philosophy at all.
