Former Trump national security advisor questions Putin’s hold on ex-president

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) and senior political analyst Matt Dowd join Alicia Menendez – in for Nicolle Wallace – to discuss H.R. McMaster’s new comments on his old boss, former President Trump, where he questions Trump’s ability to avoid the manipulation of dictators like Vladimir Putin – but somehow decides the problem is about who Trump surrounds himself with, not the man himself.

It's interesting and sad at the same time that so many that served under DonOLD only came out with the horrifying things he did and said only after they published a book. Harris/Walz 2024, vote blue up and down the ballot take the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, give Kamala and Tim what they need to get amazing things done for the people as the job requires.

Trump Should Not be allowed to Run for any Office because of January

Jesus H Christ! It's not that hard to understand Pootin's hold on Trump - Eric Trump 2014: "We get all our funding out of Russia." Is there something being lost in translation???? Trump OWES Pootin a S#$% ton of money. DUH!

[melissawright]

All of these men had the opportunity to help take this man out power and they kept quiet in order to write a book. Despicable

[barbaratartt]

They always want to write a book to make money but yet stood by and did nothing. Man bye.

[Huender-e]

I can’t wait to have someone in the Whitehouse who actually has a BRAIN! Go Kamala!

[smilesandyoka]

listen to Ms. Sherrill people - vote BLUE!!!

[TommytheDuke]

These are the tyrants our forefathers warned us about.

[angelinahunter]

I believe Putin has information with which to blackmail Trump with -- why else would Trump kiss up to Putin like he does?

[jenniferzennifer]

Hmmm... this guy is trying to sell a book....

[StephenFlynn-xlfw]

McMaster says Trump needs adults in the room, but McMaster got fired for being an adult in the room. Maybe McMaster needs something.

[SSArcher]

McMaster is repositioning himself. "Good old Trump will be OK, so long as he surrounds himself with sensible people, like me."

[paquefeal]

Despite being a first hand witness to Trum’s behavior, Mc Master is still voting for him ! No word for that attitude ! Which one is the most dangerous and manipulated ?

[mawavoy]

The guest provided brilliant analysis and a closing statement that should not be taken lightly!!!!

[alfredgeorge]

Another trump staff member who is trying to insert himself back into polite society....

[webb-cast]

Valentines only to the bullies on the playground. Best analogy to describe Trump's behavior ever!

[evadd]

The word you are looking for is integrity.

One can't trust McMaster. He was there advising dump to no avail and with terrible results. He's an apologist and enabler for those with no character.
