This revelation comes from Miles Taylor, who served as the Chief of Staff for the Department of Homeland Security during Trump”s first term.
Taylor expressed that he was not shocked by Trump”s demand, citing the president”s tendency to fantasize about “blowing up bombs” during his presidency. This kind of rhetoric reportedly left many of his advisers feeling unsettled and concerned about the implications of such thoughts.
