Well Bye.
Just a few months ago Trump said that he thought Mattis was a Democrat.
If Mattis disagreed with Trump’s vision he was compelled to either convince Trump otherwise or, as he has just done, resign.
Of course the media, the anti-Trumpers, the Trump haters and the Deep State will express shock and horror and the pressure that will be exerted against Trump will be loud and it will be long. I trust he will continue to have the courage and the strength to prevail. If he ends up being a one term president, so be it. You can’t fault the guy for saying what he will do then doing what he says.
However, I don’t know how anyone who has been paying attention to Trump can be too shocked that this is happening. I commend Mattis for his efforts in rebuilding the military and pretty much how he has run the military for the last couple years.
It’s time for a change. Trump is cleaning house. Kelly may not be far behind.
It’s going to be a busy 2019.
He was left in position that he shouldn’t have been in. It is not totally his fault but he needs to be shown the door ASAP. ALL CLEARANCES REVOKED.
No I don’t think this has to do with that, I think it’s more about the officer that is accused of murder.
“It could be that he is. I think he’s sort of a Democrat, if you want to know the truth. But General Mattis is a good guy, we get along very well. He may leave, I mean at some point, everybody leaves.”
Maybe I missed it but Trump never abandoned our allies. Arming Ukraine was an aggressive forward defense for them.
Did people pick up Trump’s recent comment that Mattis is “sort of a Democrat”.
There is plenty of evidence Mattis was operating at cross purposes with the President most likely operating behind his back. Mattis would not permit his staff to act the way he did to the President.
Lap Dog Mattis
Calm down or the troll police are going to get you.
Yes
Back Stab Mattis.
Ping.
I would like to know how the veterans on FR are interpreting this.
Globalist. Bye.
the poster is a nutjob. Check their history.
I reported to admin’s on them/
It’s amazing Trump let him stay this long.
I am veteran. I know insubornation when I read it.
The guy does seem a bit squirrelly. Most likely a troll.
If the United States REALLY needs to be militarily involved in Syria, have Congress vote a Declaration of War and then we can unleash our most powerful weapons to bring the enemy to unconditional surrender or total annihilation.
Otherwise, there is no need to send America’s fathers, sons, and husbands to Syria as more Pentagon cannonfodder.
Remember how NoName and his daughter Meghan just gushed over Mattis? They’re all globalist war-mongers.
Thank you POTUS for bringing our troops home. We need them here MORE than there.
Merry Christmas, dear troops. You’re coming home. Thank our President!
