Former CIA Head: 'Why I Now Support Donald Trump'

James Woolsey was the CIA Director under Bill Clinton. He was a lifelong Democrat but is now member of the transition team for the Republican Party and a security advisor to Donald Trump.

He told Maajid why he underwent a political conversion as he excoriated President Obama’s foreign policy.

“My political party has kind of ambled away from me but my views, pro-environmentalism, strong defence, are what the party used to stand for for 50 years or more.”

“One of the reason why I am supporting Donald Trump, is that i think is going to re-build us a strong and flexible military.”
