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.
But don’t forget, if a woman asks him a question he doesn’t like, she’s “a nasty woman.” His playbook is so fucking tired. I don’t understand why no one sees it.
They agree with it.
