Trump Accidentally Calls Former Adviser McMaster, Berates Him

In a surprising incident reported by CBS News, President Donald Trump mistakenly called his former national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, on March 3, 2025, intending to contact South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster instead. During the call, Trump opened with 'Henry...' before quickly realizing his error, leading him to insult McMaster by calling him a 'weak and totally ineffective loser.' This verbal attack followed a day after McMaster publicly criticized Trump's dealings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a CBS interview. The White House later issued a statement condemning McMaster's recent memoir, accusing him of fabricating details to salvage his reputation. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Trump and his former aides. The source of the dialing error remains unclear, with speculation pointing to a possible mistake by a White House aide.
