I think it's a shame for General McMaster, who I think history will prove right. I think it's a tragedy for President Trump and it's really again raises the question of why is this guy who is so hot to take on North Korea or Canada, why is he is weak on Russia.
Begala reflects on the implications of McMaster's departure and questions Trump's approach to Russia.

First, Mr. Trump won the election and I do believe, I've worked in the White House, the president should have a very, very wide berth to put together the Cabinet that they want and need to run the country.
When Trump talks about all this, all his own grudges, his own grievances, his own vendettas, his own vengeance, it riles up people he's already got, but it alienates the people he needs.
Crime is down under Biden and Harris, it was up under Trump's. So, crime will be lower, but your income will be higher because we're going to raise the minimum wage.
It's really not President Trump's job to check even the most important special government employee.
