Mike Pompeo Insists He Hasn’t Broken with Trump

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insists he hasn’t turned on Donald Trump but tells Semafor he might run against him for president anyway.

Said Pompeo: “I haven’t shifted. Tell me what the shift is? I’m contemplating presenting myself as the potential president of the United States to the citizens of America. There’s no shift. The things that worked, we should continue to go do.”

He added: “But I also think times are different. Right? There are moments when we need massive disruption, and there’s moments when you have to go piece it back together. That requires organization and strategy and planning and execution against the plan and measuring your progress against the plan — you know, like I did when I was a small businessperson.”
