Overview

• President Trump accidentally called H.R. McMaster, his former national security adviser, instead of South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster due to a dialing error by a White House aide.
• During the brief call, Trump mistakenly addressed McMaster as 'Henry' before realizing the error and hurling insults at his former adviser.
• The incident occurred on March 3, a day after Trump publicly insulted McMaster on social media, calling him a 'weak and totally ineffective loser.'
• White House communications director Steven Cheung further criticized McMaster, dismissing his memoir as 'filled with lies' and claiming it was an attempt to salvage his reputation.
• The mistaken call highlights ongoing tensions between Trump and McMaster, as well as broader concerns about mismanagement in presidential communications.
