The former top commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, criticized President Donald Trump's behavior and handling of the presidency, saying the commander-in-chief is dishonest and immoral.
“I don’t think he tells the truth,” McChrystal said in an exclusive interview on “This Week” when asked by Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz if he believes the president is a liar.
“Is Trump immoral, in your view?” Raddatz asked.
“I think he is,” he said.

I’ll keep my semi-autos, he can live his bouncy house life in D.C.
I’m sure he won’t volunteer to come through my door at 0-dark thirty. :)
Every Institution in our Country has been hijacked/taken over by the left. This is the result.
I remember being appalled by the anti education folks here when I first found FR. Now, I’ve been here almost 12 years. All of my four kids went K-8 Catholic school and 9-12 Public high school and they turned out just fine. But, I saw the decline in academics and the emphasis on social education. And, I have been a teacher on and off, full and part time, for over 30 years. I’ve seen the changes as a teacher and parent. Our education system sucks. I’ve seen the decline in parental involvement too. Not involvement as much as parenting. It’s appalling.
25 or so years ago I saw the difference in the kids on the playground - those with stay at home parents and those who spent most of their time in day care. Same thing I saw and continue to see in school. Sorry to those who put their kids in daycare...it’s not the same as being raised by a parent or grandparent. No matter how much you want to convince yourselves of that. All my kids miraculously survived k-8 Catholic school (just as I survived k-12 Catholic school in the 70s, 80s) and public high school 9-12. They’re still the kids I raised and I’m proud of them. But the changes in the curriculum is astounding and the majority of our citizens just don’t see it.
Conservatives/Republicans have given up to the liberals, the extreme left of this country, all of our Institutions. Education especially. And our Media/Entertainment.
Then we wonder what happened? LOL
So “Common Core” is no more but really it’s just been renamed. It’s the same curriculum. PARCC is no more. Heh, it’s just been renamed.
9 more years and I can retire. Unfortunately, I was a SAHM for most of my adult years, and worked most of that time without all those state bennies, so I’ve only just been added to the NJ State pension and benefits and Thank Heavens for us taxpayers in NJ and that I get to reap the benefits of my tax dollars, lol. I’m now getting the awesome benefits I’ve been paying for all these years.
Our Union Dues are mandatory. Unless of course you’re a special person exempt from all that.
All the whining by so called conservatives just continues to piss me off. Many decades of ignoring all these important Institutions and then you wonder why we are losing?
Donald Trump won for a reason. The dems couldn’t pad the vote count enough and a slight majority of this Country finally woke up. If he has a shot of winning in 2020 after the 24/7 media/entertainment non stop bashing of him and his admin, and of course the so called conservatives who also love to bash him while pretending to be “objective,” we may have a shot of stopping the socialism that’s popular with a huge number of people in this country.
My grandparents were legal immigrants. They were dirt poor and succeeded and raised kids who also succeeded. That’s what Immigration used to be about.
And JFK was an adulterer and an ass. His entire family sucks. He was no better than Teddy. MLK Jr was a Marxist and a racist. He’d fit right in with Black Liberation Theology. I will never understand why Conservatives hold him to such a high standard if they know history and his history.
Trump has shown he isn’t taking generals and admirals words as gospel and is turning over 70 years of foreign policy which has only had attempts at change twice. Unsuccessfully with JFK, who was taken out by his own deep state goons and successfully with Reagan who ended the Cold War only to have Bush 41 and Clinton revert to subservience to the generals, admirals and deep state. Of course the stars are pissed.
Well, if Trump is immoral and dishonest he would fit right in on the General Staff.
“I think it’s important for me to work for people who I think are basically honest, who tell the truth as best they know it,” (McChrystal) said. “I’m very tolerant of people who make mistakes because I make so many of them — and I’ve been around leaders who’ve made mistakes … but through all of them, I almost never saw people trying to get it wrong. And I almost never saw people who were openly disingenuous on things.” …Right, so Obama was “basically honest”, never “trying to get it wrong” and never “openly disingenuous on things”. I see.
Staying true to the proud tradition of all 20th century humanistic left-wing governments, both the Clinton administration and Barrak Hussein 0’s efforts centered around purging the DoD, IC, DOJ/FBI, Judiciary, and the many agencies of government of anyone who would be sympathetic to US sovereignty, it’s Constitution, and individual liberty.
Hussein 0 attempted to rid the US DoD of as much moral character as he could, just like Adolf Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Mao, Polpot, Castro, and any committed leftist must do, to create an amoral armed and willing force to carry out their plans to subjugate all of society.
General staff and the various Services, are now indoctrinated and forced to adhere to amoralism, have been indoctrinated and forced to accept and even push all sexual perversion, and to question and push out those who do not espouse the immorality.
This is the type of amoral/immoral force they needed to carry out investigations and political attacks on anyone who would stand in their way.
Thanks for the info!
Did y’all ever notice that the lefties hated the generals....
...until Trump came along...
And now they love them?

Oh please, JFK? More homage for a totally incompetent president who was also an adulterer and drug addict. Bay of Pigs. Some of us know real history. Nobody took him out other than himself.
That explains why he made negative comments about Biden, which is what got him fired by Obama. Biden was a potential competitor to Hillary.
And Hillary and Obama told the truth???
Bah.
Barack Hussein Obama denied for years that the Fort Hood massacre was a terrorist attack, he said it was workplace violence and that it might’ve been triggered by Islamophobia.
Secretary of state Hillary Clinton lied about the Benghazi attack and told her daughter the truth the day of the attack.
"McChrystal is a disgrace to the Army.
I don't know a single soldier who respects a word that comes out of his mouth."
>> “I don’t think he tells the truth,” McChrystal said
Opinions are like assholes...
A fine mess you’ve gotten us into Stanley!
And the media perpetuated this to the point that it is now believed as factual information. Don’t even get me started on Benghazi.
But this is what most believe. Astounds me.
Never heard of her.
McChrystal is part of the Deep State.
McChrystal, typical of the Left, gave no specifics of why he thinks President Trump is a liar.
