Retired general criticizes Trump same day as endorsement letter

A retired one-star general who joined dozens of other former high-ranking officials to endorse Donald Trump on Tuesday told CNN he often disagrees with the Republican presidential nominee on national security and hopes Trump will have learned more about foreign affairs “by the time he becomes commander in chief.”

“Yes, he said some things that I don’t totally agree with, and I’ll be the first to admit that,” retired Brig. Gen. Remo Butler told Carol Costello in a lengthy interview. “Hopefully he is growing and learning and there are enough people on his team … that will take him and help him find the right path to success.”
