Last month, Donald Trump mistakenly called HR McMaster, and learning that he was addressed to his former national security advisor rather than his recipient, insulted him.
According to CBS News, the call of March 3, which Trump began by saying “Henry”, was intended for the governor of South Carolina Henry McMaster. The “HR” by the name of McMaster is short for Herbert Raymond.
Once McMaster informed Trump that he was talking about the man that Trump had dismissed in March 2018, the president got angry.
“Why would the F – I speak” in McMaster, asked Trump.
It was not clear if it was addressed to McMaster or the help which, according to CBS, made the call, which was brief.
Trump then struck the Lieutenant-General of the Retired Army, which he had described the day before on X as a “weak and completely ineffective loser”.
McMaster, on 60 minutes,, had challenged Trump reprimanding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at an oval office meeting, saying that the Vladimir Putin of Russia “could not be happier.”
“Because what he sees is all the pressure on Zelenskyy, all the pressure on Ukraine and no pressure on him,” said McMaster.
The White House communications director Steven Cheung, in a statement on Wednesday at CBS News, continued the work of the president targeting McMaster.
“HR MCMaster has completely plotten itself and its third -order book, which is now sold in the bac at the fictional section of a reduced bookstore, is filled with lies in a futile attempt to rehabilitate its reputation in tatters,” said Cheung.
In his memories in 2024, At war with ourselves: my service of service at the White House of TrumpMcMaster wrote how Putin “played on the ego and Trump’s insecurity with flattery”.
McMaster is one of the many former managers of the White House that the President hired and then embittered, like Mark Milley, Mark Esper, James Mattis and John Kelly.
According to Michael Wolff 2018’s book Fire and fury: inside the White HouseTrump reluctantly hired McMaster, who, according to him, did not look like the game, but rather looked like “a beer seller”.
During an interview, Trump, according to the book, also found McMaster’s discussion on boring world geopolitics.
