“[Donald Trump as a leader is] misunderstood...

“From the first day to the last day that I worked for the president he always listened, he was always conscious of hearing other voices, allowing people to debate out the issues and then he made his decision. There wasn’t a time where I called him and said ‘look, I think we should look at this another way’ where he didn’t say ‘well, how do you see that playing out?’ and we had a great discussion over it.”

And to do it in a way that American people wanted to see it, they did want a disrupter-in-chief…

“And so I think that God sometimes places people for lessons and sometimes places people for change. And you can look at everything that’s happened, and I think we are seeing a lot of change, and I think we are gaining a lot of lessons from it as well.”
