Gen. McMaster Says There’s No Way He’d Work for ‘Very Offensive’ Trump Again
Donald Trump’s former national security adviser H.R. McMaster on Monday said he would not work for the former president again.
The retired lieutenant general, who worked in the Trump administration for 13 months beginning in February 2017, appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 to promote his new book, At War With Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House. Trump’s spokesperson has already trashed the book as “nothing more than fake news” over its eyebrow-raising claims, with McMaster writing that Russian President Vladimir Putin manipulated Trump by playing to his “ego and insecurities with flattery.”
CNN host Anderson Cooper asked McMaster if he believed John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, who claimed Trump called American soldiers who were wounded and killed “suckers” and “losers” (Trump denies making the remarks.)
