Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday that President Donald Trump "thinks that he's the smartest guy in the room — and that's the biggest mistake a president can make" amid reports about a rift with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"When it comes to decisions involving domestic policy, I don't think he listens very well," Panetta, who served in the Obama White House, told Anderson Cooper on CNN. "The result is, he hasn't been willing to build the kind of team that he built on national security.
"He's built a strong team on national security. Thank God he's willing to listen to them.
"What he needs to do is to build that same kind of team when it comes to the legislative challenges he faces on the Hill," Panetta said.
