'One of the dumber Generals': Trump attacks 'lightweights and fakes' who worked for him

Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out against the "lightweights and fakes" who once worked for his White House, and now talk badly about the former president on TV.

Trump, who is currently bound by a gag order that prevents him from attacking witnesses in the criminal trial he's facing, instead turned his sights to former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor, who has claimed his home was targeted by a break-in shortly after he published a scathing "Anonymous" op-ed about Trump's presidency, and retired four-star Marine general John Kelly, who previously served as Secretary of Homeland Security and White House chief of staff.

The attack began by referencing the news outlets on which some of his former employees and White House aides now appear.

"So many lightweights and fakes go on MSNBC & CNN, along with other ratings challenged networks and platforms, purporting to know me as though they were a long lost relative, only to have virtually no knowledge of me, or anything about me," he said. "A weak and pathetic RINO named Miles Taylor, who worked with one of the dumber Generals around, John Kelly, speaks as though he has intimate knowledge of everything Trump. Other than seeing him on TV, I have no idea, from the Administration days, who the hell he is."

Trump continues, saying, "I assume a con man because he gets paid for talking about a subject he knows nothing about, ME."

Trump then teased that he might be announcing other names of now-enemies who once worked for his own presidential administration.

"But that doesn’t matter to NBC, to me one of the worst news organizations in the world," he added. "There are many other of these phonies as well, and I’ll let you all know who they are as soon as I get a chance. TRUTH!"
