Trump to Nominate Retired Colonel Who Downplays Iran Threat, Points Fingers at Jews

U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intent on Monday to nominate retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor as U.S. ambassador to Germany to succeed Richard Grenell, despite the veteran’s views of Jews and the Iranian threat.

In a 2012 interview with The Daily Bell, Macgregor blamed neoconservatives, or “neocons,” for “making decisions in Washington that in their minds are beneficial to a foreign power and are not necessarily good for the American people or the United States.” . . .

In an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s prime-time show on Fox News, Macgregor dismissed the Iranian threat, saying “there’s no evidence that Iran wants to attack us.”

Macgregor also blamed “neocon” advisers for Trump eliminating Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani earlier this year. (Read more from “Trump to Nominate Retired Colonel Who Downplays Iran Threat, Points Fingers at Jews” HERE)
