Summary
Former Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster criticized Trump’s handling of Ukraine, calling Vladimir Putin a “master manipulator” who exploits Trump’s grievances.
Trump lashed out on Truth Social, calling McMaster “a weak and totally ineffective loser” and shifting focus to domestic issues.
The criticism followed a tense meeting where Trump and JD Vance sidelined Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, which has undermined U.S. alliances.
The meeting derailed peace talks and prevented a U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal, while U.S.-Russia negotiations in Saudi Arabia notably excluded Ukraine.
Former adviser criticised the president(known for only hiring the “best” people), president insults him in public only shortly after the president talked about World war 3. Where in the world wouldn’t that be newsworthy?
Americans are genetically predisposed to believing that if they just bury their heads in the sand a little deeper all their problems will magically disappear. It’s the American way, hearing bad stuff is big scary for the baby.
