President Donald Trump is sharing his reaction to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley’s apology for participating in the president’s visit to St. John’s Episcopal Church.
During an interview with Fox News, Trump sat down with host Harris Faulkner where he briefly discussed Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper speaking out about the highly criticized church visit.
When asked if he thought the top generals’ statements were significant, Trump said, “No.”
“If that’s the way they feel, I think that’s fine,” he said.
