Donald Trump got his feet put to the fire in an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, during which the former president found himself on the receiving end of one utterly ruthless question.
During the interview, Trump claimed that “We put people in that were great and we put people in that weren’t. I now know Washington probably better than anybody. I know the good ones and the bad ones and we will have really great, strong people.”
That teed up Baier’s next question, which came like a thunderclap.
“This time, your Vice President Mike Pence is running against you,” he started off. “Your ambassador of the United Nations Nikki Haley, she’s running against you. Your former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he’s not supporting you. You mentioned national security adviser John Bolton, he’s not supporting you either. You mentioned Attorney General Bill Barr, says you shouldn’t be president again, calls you a ‘consummate narcissist’ and ‘troubled man.'”
He went on: “You recently called Barr a ‘gutless pig.’ Your second Defense Secretary is not supporting you, called you ‘irresponsible.’ This week, you… called your White House Chief of Staff John Kelly ‘weak and ineffective’ and ‘born with a very small brain.’ You called your acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney a ‘born loser.’
“You called your first Secretary of State Rex Tillerson ‘dumb as a rock’ and your first Defense Secretary James Mattis ‘the world’s most overrated general.’ You called your White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany ‘milktoast,’ and multiple times you’ve referred to your Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao as Mitch McConnell’s ‘China-loving wife.’ So why did you hire all of them in the first place?”
Trump responded that it was fine because “10 to1” the people he hired “were fantastic.”
“For every one you say, I had ten that love us,” he claimed.

Imagine he used the same energy against Biden. The gop establishment is gutless and at a point of no return without Trump.
Are you happy YWN?! You found another reason to post something hateful against Trump. Ungrateful people at YWN! Liberal leftists self hating Jews !
Why do you call Bret Baier RUTHLESS? I watched the full video on YouTube. This guy Baier is brilliant, he has seichel hayashar. He challenged Trump and showed us what an idiot Trump is. Is that why you call him ruthless and brutal?

DeSantis 2024!
Of course, Trump meant “milquetoast,” not “milktoast.”
Why this love affair with MAGA Trump?
Desantis has less of a shot than Trump.
To all those who knock Trump … a loony , yes .But did good things for this country , including Rubashkin .Where’s the HaKaras HaTov ??? And Biden is doing a real “Bang up ” job !!! Look at all the stats on crime, inflation , National debt …endless !!!
All factual. ” I hire only the best people” so either he didn’t and is again lying, or he did and is a terrible manager. Either way, he should never be elected to any office again.
If he is the Republican nominee, they will once again lose disastrously.
If Trump won another term his White House would be the same chaos it was the first time. Unless you absolutely bow to him and treat him like God (c”v) you cannot get along with him. Every CEO or President hires talented & experienced people and trusts their decisions and judgement when necessary. Trump trusts nobody and knows everything better. And anyone dare disagree with the King.
Rif:
You might want to look up the definition of “ruthless”. It doesn’t mean “stupid”.
The people running against him sense a potential opportunity, but that doesn’t mean they are otherwise against him.
President Trump did have good people in his administration, including some who were forced out, but not by President Trump.
He did tremendous good for this country once elected, including for Jews, and, liHavdil, especially for Zionists, so YWN should show due respect for President Trump.
BTW – that answer continues with another good point (how people change their mind based on a job offered to them…), but for some reason it’s cut off…
What is everyone so excited about, a legitimate question was asked, and a legitimate answer received.
They were credible THEN, because TRUMP was backing them, but once they run by themselves, and their whole identity is nothing other than NOT being trump.
That’s a very shaky identity, so therefore he’s right, irrelevant of his own issues!
Trump is used to softball questions from Hannity, Carlson and their ilk. Baier asked some serious legitimate questions as journalists should do. Instead of refusing to discuss details of the case against him, as I’m certain his lawyers advised, he actually confessed to the DOJ charges.
To rt: I disagree with your last sentence. If the Republicans lose the 2024 elections, it will not be disaster.
Amazing how many Frum Jews would support a troubled individual like Trump to be the leader of the free world in the name of “Hakaras Hatov”. Very admirable middos but terribly misplaced. I’m also waiting for Messiah but Trump aint him.
I feel terrible for this guy. He is digging himself deeper and deeper in. I voted for him and I would again based on his policies, but there is no denying that he is a lunatic.
YWN using the word ruthless has half the readers here googling who Ruth is LOL ROFL
He’s not a lunatic, he’s got bad middos (like all of them do) and he is very outspoken and not a politician (unlike the rest of them). He’s not looking to see what is politically correct to say or do.
I would be scared stiff to work for him but he is the best guy for the job.
Well, a lot of them are running just to be up for consideration on his VP list! Remember Kamala ran against Biden. Calling them all those names puts him again and again into the news cycle. He is no lunatic! It is all about PR.
Ha Rav Donald Trump Shlita, Potus 2024. Period.
