Democrats underestimate Trump, retired US general Wesley Clark warns

Former general cautioned ex-president does touch a chord', though those who have worked with him don't like him

Democrats have a dangerous tendency to underestimate Donald Trump, warned Wesley Clark, a retired senior US general and former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

I don't think anybody who works for Trump has ever recommended him," Clark said. Not John Bolton, not John Kelly, the retired marines general who was [White House] chief of staff ... not [retired marines general] Jim Mattis, who resigned as secretary of defense under Trump. I don't think people who work for him have any respect for his ability.
