Donald Rumsfeld was an American politician and businessman who served as the 13th Secretary of Defense under President Gerald Ford from 1975 to 1977 and again from 2001 to 2006 under President George W. Bush. Rumsfeld is known for his controversial and sometimes controversial decisions and statements, particularly during his time as Secretary of Defense in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and during the early stages of the Iraq War.
In addition to his time in politics, Rumsfeld had a long and accomplished business career, serving as CEO of several companies and serving on the boards of many more. He was also involved in several international initiatives and organizations, such as NATO and the Middle East Peace Process.
Despite his many achievements, Rumsfeld was also known for his blunt, straightforward personality, which sometimes rubbed people the wrong way. Former President George H.W. Bush, for example, was reported to have found Rumsfeld to be "arrogant" and "hard-headed." Despite these criticisms, Rumsfeld remains one of the most influential figures in American politics and military history, and his legacy continues to shape debates about the role of the United States in the world today.
