Former National Security Advisor John Bolton didn’t hold back in his latest attack on President Donald Trump, calling him a “f*cking moron” and a “useful idiot” in response to Trump’s approach to the Russia-Ukraine war.
The emotionally charged remark comes after Trump publicly dismissed Bolton last month, claiming he had manipulated him during his tenure in the administration.
“I thought he was a very dumb person, but I used him well,” Trump said in January, describing how he leveraged Bolton’s reputation as a hardliner.
“Every time people saw me come into a meeting with John Bolton standing behind me, they thought that he’d attack them because he was a warmonger.”
Bolton, who has been a staunch critic of Trump since leaving the administration in 2019, has repeatedly warned that Trump’s foreign policy decisions are reckless and that his coziness with Russia could endanger U.S. national security.
This latest feud adds to the longstanding animosity between the two, as Bolton continues to position himself as one of Trump’s most vocal former advisors.
