After the White House claimed it is highly inappropriate to criticize four-star generals when a reporter asked questions critical of Chief of Staff John Kelly, old tweets sent by Donald Trump criticizing generals he disagreed with have resurfaced.
General John Allen, who I never met but spoke against me last night, failed badly in his fight against ISIS. His record = BAD#NeverHillary, Trump tweeted on July 29, 2016, The Hill noted.
He also took aim at another retired four-star general former Secretary of State Colin Powell in September of last year.
I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq = disaster, Trump tweeted on September 4, 2016. We can do much better!
