One of the country's top generals dismissed President Donald Trump as "an idiot" businessman with no "basic understanding of national security" at a 2017 dinner, according to another official's notes from that night that were published by The Washington Post on Wednesday.
In the Post story about sexual assault allegations against Gen. John E. Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Col. Kathy Spletstoser shared notes she took from the October 2017 dinner where she annotated the general's comments.
(Hyten previously denied her assault accusations "in the strongest possible terms" and said an investigation cleared him.)
The Post story about Spletstoser details some strikingly candid thoughts Hyten once shared about the first couple.
