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.

    Normalizing Trump’s insane tantrums is partly why we are in this mess. They should be calling him out on everything, repeatedly, constantly, to the point of utter exhaustion. It’s what the GOP did with Biden, with a healthy dose of completely made up shit on top

      It’s part of the flood the zone with shit. It’s unimportant. Stuck to actual issues and hammer them. This just blurs everything out with all of these articles which bring no value.

        Trump re-aligning US with Russia is an issue. The fact that Republicans still don’t get that that’s what’s happening is an issue.

          Well then write the article about that. My point is the dumbass framing of these articles gloss over the real issues. Oh John Bolton said something and Trump mad? Great thanks for sharing journalist.
