Mattis Expected to Be Tapped by President Hillary Clinton. He Got Trump Instead.

[The Purge]

[The outgoing defense secretary had a good rapport with the 2016 Democratic nominee. Not so much with the president he ultimately worked for.]

During the 2016 presidential campaign, James Mattis predicted that he would be courted to serve in a Hillary Clinton administration in the likelihood that she would win the presidency. Instead, Mattis ended up working nearly two years as Secretary of Defense for Donald Trump, a president who routinely undermined his own national security team and would mock Mattis by calling him a “Democrat” or “Moderate Dog.”

Mattis' resignation on Thursday, though abrupt, came as no surprise to those who knew him and had worked alongside him in the Pentagon.

In a series of meetings with colleagues at the beginning of the administration, Mattis said he was originally surprised to get a call from the Trump team asking him to take the post of defense secretary, according to two sources with who attended those meetings. He told several people that had Clinton won the election, he thought he would have agreed to serve on her team.

ROTFLMFAO.....

“Routinely undermined his own national security team” translates to the president routinely did what he said he was going to do, and his “team” routinely undermined the boss and, ultimately, the people.....A DEEP STATER, for sure...BYE!!!

 

[Witchit]

I object to your referring to him as the P-word.

 

[HenryBHough]

So, snuggly-close to the old bitch it surprises some he.............

 

[Lewdog]

He's no longer in good standing with Trump...

Time for the Trumpettes to try and ruin his name and reputation as much as possible.

So he admits to being a neocon Hillary-phile. So glad our President refused to do his warmongering bidding.

I'm wondering which general leaked to the press that "he was keeping Trump from ruining the nation"...a lot of big mane people have been let go by Trump after that....its time for Trump to staff his administration as he sees fit...not McConnell and Ryan.....

Not sure about any of that....

Mattis was the best pick Trump made of the "big four" Cabinet selections; AG, State, Defense, Treasury. And of course, he fucked that up too.

I'd lay money though that you'll never hear a peep of negativity from Mattis about Trump.

Trump is not a globalist...he does not want us to be the worlds policeman...he wants the end to this stupid 18 year old war against Muslim extremism....he wants to keep the nations wealth inside of our nation....he wants what is best for the people not the generals...he is not a war monger like the Bush men were....I would think the left would be in favor of that aspect of Trump....

You would think that it would be noticeable by everyone that the same people trying to import Muslims into the west are the ones insisting on war that keep them coming.

Trump is not a globalist...

Yes he is. He's the definition of a globalist.

he does not want us to be the worlds policeman...

I would bet that if you were to give him 20 names of nations where we have troops, he would not know if we have forces there or not.

he wants the end to this stupid 18 year old war against Muslim extremism....

I applaud his withdrawing troops from Syria. I doubt he did it for any other reason than ego however. whatever the reason, I'm glad he did it.

he wants to keep the nations wealth inside of our nation....

Hilarious.

he wants what is best for the people not the generals...

More hilarity.

he is not a war monger like the Bush men were....

You're right about that.

I would think the left would be in favor of that aspect of Trump....

Don't know about the left, I know I applaud his decision to get out of an unwinnable war in Syria.
