case is a highly respected former military leader. the president is taking direct aim at the four star admiral bill mccraven when he was asked about mccraven s criticism of him, that the president s claims of the media is the enemy of the people is the single greatest threat to democracy. and in response, as you pointed out, he stated that mcraven is a hillary clinton backer. bee moaned the fact that bin laden wasn t caught sooner, and boasted about the fact that he pulled back funding for pakistan. none of which was relevant to the central question he was asked. and it is worth emphasizing that bill mcraven wasn t responsible for finding osama bin laden, that s the cia s skroob, also, trump in the past praised then president obama for finding osama bin laden. so you re seeing the president distract away from the criticism from bill mccraven. now, in the past, the president has showered praise on the
reporter: is raga the new maga? it started saturday when president trump offered this solution when touring the unprecedented fire damage in california. i was with the president of finland and he said we have a much different we are a forest nation. spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. they don t have any problem. reporter: the only problem is the finish president says he never said that. he did admit he discussed the california wildfires with president trump. he says the idea of raking never came up. in fact, he told a finish newspaper he thinks raking came to trump s mind after he saw some of the firefighters do it in california. i was watching the fire men and they were raking areas. they were raking areas where the fire was right over there. they were raking little bushes
summed it up this way, saying, correction needed to potus comment today, that mcraven should have found been been sooner. cia did the finding, mcraven s special operator the getting. they moved within days of president obama giving the order. in other words, there s no faster, mcraven could have moved. his slam of mcraven is part of a pattern. our military is a disaster. i know more about isis than the generals do. he s a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren t captured. that last comment, of course, is about the late senator john mccain, who spent 5 1/2 years as a presidenter in of war in vietnam, repeatedly tortured and two of the years he was there were in solitary confinement. president trump did not serve in the military. in spite of the draft, he served deferments, one is about bone
