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 CNN’s Kaitlan Collins where he offered up a chuckle and a lesson to MAGA voters who supported Trump in the hopes he’d 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 Trump’s lack of experience while Trump pushed back on Bolton’s 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 Trump’s 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.

9. The Peace Guy

There once was a loudmouth named Trump
Who swore foreign wars were all chump.
“Regime change is trash!
Just burn it for cash!”
Then promptly went thumping the drum.

In ’24 on the stump he declared,
“No new wars! I’m the peace guy,” he blared.
“If Kamala Harris wins,
She’ll draft all your twins
For a hellhole you’ve never been spared!”

A year and some loose change thereafter,
The peace shtick collapsed into laughter.
He’s bombing Iran—
For “freedom,” because he can—
While lighting the region with napalm and bluster.

Over at The New York Times’ gray tower,
Peter Baker clocked the whiplash of power:
“What legacy’s this?
Not the peace-branding bliss—
More ‘shock-and-awe’ cosplay than flower.”

He lusts for the Nobel Peace Prize shine,
Though the optics reek strongly of brine.
If Stockholm won’t call,
He’ll just level it all—
And say, “See? World peace—thanks to mine.”

When heat from Jeffrey Epstein’s files starts to rise,
And smoke curls uncomfortably nigh,
What better distraction
Than live war-room action?
“Major combat!”—look there, not at I.

His biographer Michael Wolff sighed,
“It’s a stew of half-facts he’s applied.
Some history skimmed,
Some vengeance half-whimmed—
An itch with a missile for pride.”

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene blinked at the blast,
While Tucker Carlson looked aghast.
Alex Jones went pale,
Rand Paul wailed—
When the freak show thinks “too far,” that’s fast.

His base used to pivot on cue,
Like windsocks in red, white, and blue.
But maybe this time
They’ll clock the damn crime—
And ask who the hell profits—who?

10. Bolton was never happy if we weren't in a shooting war

It didn't matter with whom.
