During the first period of Donald Trump, the President seemed keen to link himself to the military generals, as if their experience in the battlefield and their experience had improved his position in one way or another. This did not turn particularly well.
The Republican brought retired general James Mattis, for example, to be his first defense minister, and according to what Mattis became the belief that Trump was a threat to the United States. Retired General John Kelly was brought to be the first minister of internal security, and Kelly came to believe that Trump was “fascist”. Trump took advantage of General Mark Millie to work as head of the joint chiefs of staff, but Millie also It came to believe that Trump was “fascist”.
After that, of course, there is Gen. Washington Post mentioned:
HR McMaster, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump and retired first lieutenant, condemned Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Friday afternoon with Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinsky. “It is impossible to understand why it seems that President Trump and Vice President Vans are determined to exercise more pressure on President Zelinski while they seem to want to unite Putin – the person who gave this terrible war in Ukraine,” McMaster wrote in a post on X.
It seems that the president heard about this, and published a related element on his social media platform. “HR McMaster is a weak losing and completely effective!” Trump wrote, in his usual way.
To the extent that reality still has any meaning, McMaster is a very retired retired warrior, who got, among other things, a silver star and a purple heart. A variety of qualities come to mind when describing the term prolonged service, but the “weak” is not one of them.
Of course, McMaster’s criticism from Friday was not the first that the audience heard from him. Last year, the retired army general was in his 14 -month presidency when the National Security Adviser came out at the White House, and it was not a disturbing picture: describing the meetings of the Oval Office as “exercises in competitive competition”, and complained about “strange national security ideas”, and alerted readers to the fact that Trump was “manually”.
But perhaps the most prominent was the book describing McMaster’s fears about Trump and Putin. The Wall Street Journal published amazing excerpts, which started: “Since the beginning of my time as a national security adviser to President Donald Trump, in February 2017, I found that the discussions of Vladimir Putin and Russia are difficult with it with the president.” continued:
[O]Your relationship reached the collapse point after you attended the Munich Security Conference in February 2018 … [W]The news presented by Hat was the response I presented to a question from a member of the Russian Douma, the House of Representatives in the Federal Assembly, who proposed cooperation between Moscow and Washington in the cybersecurity. After joking, I questioned that there will be any Russian electronic experts available because they are all involved in sabotaging our democracies, described the evidence mentioned in the investigation regulations in Mweller for the Russians to interfere in the elections in 2016 as “indisputable.”
Trump soon learned, “angry” that the National Security Adviser had told the truth in public places, and soon “hate” to McMaster – partly because the retired general “was the main voice telling him that Putin was using it.”
The excerpt continued to notice a nerve agent in England targeting former Russian military intelligence officer Sergey Skripal and his daughter, which was easily tracked to Moscow.
A few days after Skipal’s poisoning and daughter, a story appeared in The New York Post entitled “Putin is the praise of Trump, US Policy.” When I entered the Oval Office in that evening, on another issue, the president had a copy of the article and was writing a memorandum to the Russian leader via the page with the Black Sharpie fat. He asked me to get the pieces to Putin.
McMaster ignored the guidance and assured his wife, “After more than a year in this job, I cannot understand Putin’s grip on Trump.”
A year later, these same questions continue in Al -Tayyib on the same retired general who served alongside Trump for more than a year.
