Panetta: ‘I’m Not Sure I Know Where President Trump Stands on Anything’

‘Jim Mattis is the one who has his hands full trying to see if he can provide some common sense with regard to the decisions this president makes’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PANETTA: "I’m not sure I know where President Trump stands on anything, to be truthful. He did come in on the basis of kind of retrenchment. Falling back from leadership and the world. Not getting involved in wars in the world. And yet at the same time he is somebody who talks tough about war in Iran, or talked tough to North Korea as well. It very difficult to understand where he’s coming from. In his national security Council, we are seeing a move to the right. In his national security Council, we are seeing a move to the right. To a hawkish and more militaristic Sveum. Jim Mattis is the one who has his hands full trying to see if militaristic Sveum. Jim Mattis is the one who has his hands full trying to see if he can provide some common sense with regard to the decisions this president makes."
