Trump blasts 'Mr. Tough Guy' Bolton: 'He made some very big mistakes'
By Morgan Chalfant and Brett Samuels - 09/11/19 01:12 PM EDT
President Trump blasted his former national security adviser John Bolton from the White House on Wednesday, saying he had been fired after making "some very big mistakes" and that he did not get along with others in the administration.
In a public rebuke of a top aide that would have been extraordinary before the Trump White House, Trump said Bolton had "set us back" and that the adviser had disagreed with the president on various national security issues.
He slammed a mistake Bolton made early in his tenure at the White House when he discussed a "Libyan model" in the context of North Korea — which that country took as a sign that its leadership could meet the fate of former Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
While he insisted he had gotten along with the adviser, he also ridiculed Bolton for getting the United States involved in the Iraq War.
“So, John is somebody that I actually got along with very well. He made some very big mistakes,†Trump said a day after his abrupt ousting of Bolton.
