“This attack might be a bad idea, I don’t know, I’m not really an expert on Iran. So let’s hear from someone who can explain why we might’ve done it,” said Jost, teeing up a 2011 clip of Trump that has resurfaced on social media.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate,” warned Trump of then-President Barack Obama in the clip, part of a history of similar claims he made about his political foe at the time.

“He’s weak, and he’s ineffective.”

The host of the “SNL” news segment nodded in agreement to the clip, remarking, “Yeah, yeah. See, now that’s the Trump I voted for!”

Back in 2011, Trump charged Obama with wanting to attack Iran in order to win a second term and supported his theory by declaring that Obama’s poll numbers were in a “tailspin” at the time.

Trump — who is wading in abysmal polling numbers — has defended Saturday’s deadly military offensive as necessary and claimed that Iran was building nuclear weapons that could “soon” reach the U.S., though such a claim isn’t backed up by U.S. intelligence.
