Trump suggests his national security team doesn’t disagree much: “I convince them all”
By Betsy Klein
President Donald Trump offered his views on decision-making in wartime, suggesting that he is limiting dissent among his top national security officials.
“I let them speak their mind. And they do, and we have some differences, but they never end up being much. I convince them all to let’s do it my way,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade when asked about the dynamics behind closed doors.
Kilmeade had asked Trump about disagreements in modern presidential history, pointing to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell sparring in front of President George W. Bush and Secretary of State George Shultz and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger feuding in front of President Ronald Reagan.
