In his first outdoor rally since surviving an assassination attempt, former President Donald Trump spoke about the “television generals” who have disparaged his four years in the White House.
Trump, surrounded by protective glass, appeared to be responding to claims from his former national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, that Russian President Vladimir Putin exploited his ego and insecurities. He released a book this week making such claims, while Trump has previously feuded with his former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, for accusing him of calling fallen soldiers “suckers.”
“You know, I fire a lot of people when they don’t do a good job, then they come back and write books,” Trump said in Asheboro, North Carolina.
