H.R. McMaster

Well, I mean, not yelling, but he was clearly angry. You know, you should do what I tell you to do, General. Damn it. You know, something like that. And I said, hey, you have to know I did this for you because, you know, Putin would have used this thing against you. or to kind of escape responsibility for the Skripal poisoning and muddy the waters associated with it, embarrass you, you know?

So, and then he moved on to something else, you know? And didn't get angry about it again. But I mean, these sorts of tensions, you know, kind of wear you down with them a little bit over time. And I think you had a choice.

Like what you could do is, you know, you could just try to take that kind of the ingratiate yourself path and, you know, the praise path and everything and keep your job, you know. But then that begs the question, what the hell good is it your job anyway, right? If you're not going to tell the president what you think, you know, he should hear from his national security advisor.

So I was at peace with being slowly ground down, which is part of the idea. Part of the story in the book. And I consider it a privilege to do it every day, really. I mean, I don't think I would have. I mentioned the book. I would do it again. If I could go back to walking down Walnut Street, which I opened the book with here, getting the phone call to come interview, I would do it again.

Although President Trump and I are used up with each other. I'm never going to serve him directly again. But I hope he succeeds, as I'm sure we all do, right? We need the President of the United States to succeed.

No, so there were four candidates for the job in Mar-a-Lago on President's Day weekend in 2017. John Bolton. was interviewing with the president in the second interview just before me. I didn't know that. There had been a down selection after our first interview on Sunday. I was held over for a second interview on Monday.

I didn't know who else was there until I run into John Bolton in the men's room on the way into that rather understated living room in Mar-a-Lago. You know, I was just an ambassador general, you know. And then when he was on his way out, I was on my way in.

and President Trump will tell a story, but he walks across the living room and says, oh, no need for another interview, you're hired, and they start to talk about how to announce it.
