Donald Trump recently criticized his former national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, while urging Americans to focus less on Russian President Vladimir Putin. The conflict arose after McMaster claimed that Putin was pleased with Trump and his aide J.D. Vance’s harsh treatment of Ukraine’s leader during a meeting in the Oval Office. In response, Trump attacked McMaster on social media, calling him ineffective and a loser. He also redirected attention to other issues like migrant crime, advising Americans to prioritize these concerns over Putin. This exchange highlights ongoing tensions between Trump and his former administration officials.
