I have no great love for H.R Master but he’s got Trump’s number — and Putin’s. Trump isn’t happy about it:
“H.R. MCMASTER IS A WEAK AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE LOSER!” Trump posted to his social media platform Truth Social late Sunday.
“We should spend less time worrying about Putin, and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our Country—So that we don’t end up like Europe!” Trump wrote in a separate post.
In another post early Monday, Trump claimed that he was “the only president who gave none of Ukraine’s land to Putin’s Russia,” despite the fact that the deal cooked up by his administration thus far would fail to return Ukraine to its prewar borders.
He’s mad about a 60 Minutes interview with McMaster in which he said that Trump is being played by Putin. (Duh…)
“Vladimir Putin couldn’t be happier. Because what he sees is all of the pressure on Zelenskiy, all of the pressure on Ukraine, and no pressure on him.”
McMaster noted that Putin is a “master manipulator” with a deep understanding of how to work Trump to Russia’s advantage.
“He appeals to President Trump’s sense of aggrievement,” McMaster said. “And he’s been very successful at it because he’s a master manipulator and one of the best liars in the world.”
He may be the best liar in the world. But he isn’t the biggest. I think you know who that is.
