What defense contractor is he currently accepting checks from?
Democrats being democrats
As opposed to our wonderful 18 years of peace since 2001?
I thought his callsign was “Chaos” or something snazzy like that.
Honestly my one worry if Niki Haley is brought in as VP to appeal to the women (including suburban women who think Trump’s tweets are upsetting) and Pence is dumped-——what if Pence goes negative like all the old White House people? The new traitors Trump used to trust are all over the place (Omarosa,Scaramucci and more).
Will Haley win enough impressionable voters over? And probably 1 to 10% of his base will leave and 90% realize we have to accept it.
Fractured egos.
Trump opened our eyes to the brutal reality of American foreign policy. We have “friends” and alliances all around based on us providing defense for the rest of the world and getting ripped off on every international trade agreement. Mattis is Deep State so he could care less, but all these foreign policy wonks in government and academia keep pushing this same model of international diplomacy. Being the world’s “Sugar Daddy” is bankrupting us. Add to that our own reckless overspending on domestic issues equals a financial disaster we’ll never fix if we keep things as they are!
I had questions about him when he let transgenders in the military, morally corrupt.
What do our “Allies” do for us?
I know what we do for them. We protect them. We spend our money on defense for them. We put American lives at risk for them.
Our “Allies” do not live up to their obligations (except for maybe 1 or 2) by spending 2% GDP on defense. They, generally, cannot field more than a token amount of support far less than their economic and population should. They, generally, are not supportive of our policies and objectives. And, again generally, simply seek their own gain at our expense.
So, why do we need “Allies”?
I don't know why he sold his soul to the M.I. Complex, but it is really just too bad.
Oh yeah, and it’s probably time for the NATO Alliance to be downgraded. We probably need to spiff up the old SEATO alliance in view of China’s recent performances.
What has changed the game is 24/7 news cycles and millions of dollars to be made in book deals, TV appearance, etc. Most people cannot pass that up and in many cases are willing to be critical of the presidents they served if enough dollar bills are waved in front of them.
Ironically Oliver North appears to have started this trend of military aides being transformed into celebrities. Now North has mostly acted honorably but there's no question he was able to parlay his service into millions of dollars and celebrity - which paved the road for other less honorable people to follow.
Oh, a Democrat has a poor opinion of Trump. Wow. Shocking.
What a POS. Trump even went the extra mile to have the law changed so this PoS could be made SecDef.
Mr. Mattis you were a heck of a soldier and exceptional General. Beyond that job you reached a point of diminishing returns.
Mad Dog gone mad.
Why did POTUS hire this pillock in the first place? Who was he trying to placate?
President Trump makes democrat heads explode because he is not in line with their utopian dream of a socialist nanny state where power is not held by the people but by the state. The President makes rebuplicrat heads explode because he is not in line with their utopian dream of a republicrat nanny state where power is not held by the people but by the state.
Both parties have reason to dislike the President. He has called them out on their $h1t, making public their approbation. The general may identify with either/neither party, but it is apparent he aligns with some of the goals of either.
Too bad the Hatch Act doesn’t apply to retirees? He took the salt, he should exercise some loyalty.
.02, YMMV

This is a guy who saluted the transgenderizing of our military.
