Donald Trump scolded John Bolton on Wednesday for once upsetting Kim Jong Un and accused the former national security adviser of making “some very big mistakes” amid continued fallout from his abrupt White House exit.

Trump delivered his latest Bolton swipe while talking to reporters in the Oval Office hours after three of Bolton’s top aides followed his lead and resigned from the White House.

“He made some very big mistakes when he talked about the Libyan model for Kim Jong Un. That was not a good statement to make,” Trump said, referring to Bolton’s suggestion last year that the ruthless North Korean dictator could meet the same fate as Moammar Gaddafi. “You just take a look at what happened with Gaddafi. That was not a good statement to make. And it set us back.”

Gaddafi, who ruled Libya with an iron fist until his assassination in 2011, is widely viewed to have lost his grip on power after giving up his nuclear weapons stockpiles.

Trump, who has developed a close relationship with Kim, faulted Bolton for irking his authoritarian buddy.

“I don’t blame Kim Jong Un for what he said after that,” Trump said. “And he wanted nothing to do with John Bolton. And that’s not a question of being tough. That’s a question of being not smart to say something like that.”

North Korea’s propaganda outlets have called Bolton “human scum.”

The president also questioned Bolton’s reputation as a “tough guy,” ripped into him over his support for the Iraq War and said he was an outcast in the White House.

“John wasn’t in line with what we were doing and actually in some cases he thought it was too tough what we were doing,” he said. “Mr. Tough Guy, you know, you had to go into Iraq. Going into Iraq was something he felt very strongly about.”

The president acknowledged he probably won’t be having dinner with Bolton anytime soon: “I hope we’ve left in good standing, maybe we have and maybe we haven’t.”

Bolton’s Tuesday departure from the White House prompted instant confusion and turmoil in the capital.

Trump thumbed out a tweet insisting he had fired Bolton while letting him know how “strongly” disliked he was in the White House.

But Bolton pushed back in a tweet of his own, saying the president initially refused his resignation and that he subsequently stepped down on his own accord.

Bolton was Trump’s third national security adviser in less than three years. The president says he plans to tap Bolton’s replacement next week.
