Mattis told Coats Trump is 'dangerous,' 'unfit': Woodward book

[Brain357]

It is really scary to me when a respected general feels this way. I don't think he is the only one either.

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis told then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats that President Trump was “dangerous” and “unfit,” according to excerpts from Bob Woodward’s upcoming book “Rage.”

In a separate conversation, Mattis said, “The president has no moral compass,” to which Coats responded, “True. To him, a lie is not a lie. It’s just what he thinks. He doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie.”

I'm not worried. 10,000 hours of observation of Trump suggests you and these "generals" are full of it.

It would appear their "compass" has a metal filing in it.

It's amazing how high you people hold Trump. Cheated on his 3rd wife with a porn star. Scammed people with Trump university. His charity foundation was shut down cause it was a tax cheat. Won't produce his taxes. He was a draft dodger. All that and you still hold him higher than a former general. I sure don't get it.

But, he sure can run a country better than any other president in your lifetime.

I take it that he'll never get your vote in a personality contest?

You think this is running a country well? Last year GDP growth went down to 2.3% and he ran a trillion dollar deficit. What's good about that? His tariffs hurt farming and lead to a giant famer bailout. Steel is laying people off and manufacturing was hurt. And that was all before the failed pandemic response. What is it you think he's done well?

I will take a 2.3% increase in an aging bull market any day. Trump's economy was the longest running Bull market in history without a recession.
The only thing that stopped it was the China virus, and now it's picking back up. Not sure what you're crying about, unless you don't invest or have a 401K.
Tariffs have actually moved the economy for years to come unless some socialist/communist fucks that up. Stop your complaining , low unemployment,
food stamp recipients have decreased dramatically, and a year ago their was more jobs than people looking.

Most of that longest running time belongs to Obama. He promised 4-6% and they would pay for themselves. He delivered 2.3% and a trillion dollar deficit. You approve of failure. And well now the pandemic response has been a disaster. The richest country in the world has the most deaths? More failure.

Sad, we have 330 million people in this country and the percentage of deaths is .0578% from this pademic, so go pound sand.
Obama had the privileged of have 0% fed rates for the fucking 8 years he was in office, Obama's economy was starting to slow the last 2 quarter of his presidency, so go pound sand.
The response to the pandemic has not been a disaster, but only to the party that's playing politics with it. So go pound sand.
You have nothing unless you play games, Brain.

And we have the most deaths. More than China and India. They have a few more people don't they?

Trump has practically 0% and last year he had a trillion dollar deficit to prop up the economy. The result was a decline in GDP growth. Fail.

Having the most deaths is indeed a disaster. He managed to get the most deaths and destroy the economy. Bravo.

You keep bringing up China for some reason, you gullible kid. Bless your heart.

Speaking of gullible you think trump is successful. You remember trump making fun of Obama for never hitting 3% gdp growth? And now last year trump was only 2.3... But now you gullible fools think that is good. Sad.

I have no idea what your point is, last year in an aging bull market it hit 2.3%. I thought I had already discussed that. I made no reference to Obama's
economy other than it was slowing downthe last two quarters of his presidency and that he had the fed rate at 0% for eight years.

My point is that trump promised 4-6%. Instead we got a slow 2.3% after all his policy was in place. 2.3% is really weak when you are running a deficit of a trillion dollars and the interest rate is near 0. Fail.

Another swamp critter surfaces and besmirches Trump. Color me surprised.

A general?

Yeah a general, what's wrong with you?

By the way, was there any mention as to why he would be dangerous?
How many wars has he gotten us into, Brain?
I think the problem between Trump and "the general" is that Trump
wasn't getting us into a war. "Generals" like wars and Trump wasn't biting.

Avoiding wars has been his one good point that I see. He sure threw them lots of money though.

And that's why Mattis is no friend of Trumps.
Threw who a lot of money? Iran? No that would be your mesiah who did that.

The military. Instead of preparing for a pandemic he gave us space force. what leadership.

He was completely prepared which is why there was never a shortage of bed space or ventilators.......cuomo had to intentionally put sick people into nursing homes to kill more people after Trump gave him all the resources he needed to save those lives...you moron.

So prepared we have the most deaths. Fail.

Do you have to use just part of the numbers to make some kind of point? Try using ALL the numbers to make your point.
Having 330 million makes a difference in the numbers compared to a country that has 33 million. Don't want to be honest? Fine, you
must be part of the democrat party, they play games, too.

You are the one lying, we have by far the most deaths. Much bigger countries like India and China have fewer.

Throw out China, that is an unknown. The death rate in this country is .0578% per capita, that's not a disaster.
No matter how much you stomp your size 7 shoes.

Why are you throwing out China? You have some facts? How about India? We have the most deaths.

Why do you keep throwing ignoring the important number, instead of saying we have the most deaths, why don't you
argue that the death rate is .0578%?

We have the most deaths. That's a fact. Our death rate isn't all that good either is it? Not many wealthy countries are worse. We are the wealthiest country in the world. We should have the lowest death rate, yet we are no where near the lowest.

 

[whitehall]

Where was Bob Woodward during the Clinton years? Allegations of sex, drugs and rock&roll would have made Woodward's day. Imagine what Woodward could have done if Trump bombed a defenseless country in Europe when he was caught with his pants down. This Mattis stuff is child's play and second hand stuff from a petulant fired swamp rat.

Does money buy life when there is no cure? Does every other country in the world count the China virus deaths the very same as we do?
Do other countries pay their hospitals more for China virus deaths as the USA. My friend's brother died in a car accident and because
he was asymptomatic with the virus, he was counted as a China virus death. Even the CDC has recently stated that the deaths are over inflated.
You really don't have a clue on what you're talking about.

 

[dudmuck]

Yeah but it seems that President Trump has kept America safe despite what Mattis allegedly said to Woodward. Mattis was wrong and the President was right. Isn't that how the system works?

The Donald is the FIRST American President in 40 years NOT to start New Wars, The Donald is Anti-War and does NOT want to send young American soldiers off to die in POINTLESS ENDLESS wars in The Middle East so Military Contractors and The Military Industrial Complex can continue to make MULTI-BILLIONS off the DEAD BODIES of young American soldiers and this is a great part of the reason WHY The Globalists HATE him and the International MSM HATE him AND The Military Industrial Complex that President Dwight D. Eisenhauer WARNED the WORLD about in his last address as American President.

But the MSM human filth and the Warmongering Democrats and the human FILTH the Neo-Conservatives ALL now INSIST that The Military Industrial Complex is ANOTHER Conspiracy Theory, they are literally lower than SLUG SHIT at this point.

Trump keeps increasing the pentagon budget.
Obama reduced it.

President Trump bragged about a supposedly secret nuclear weapons system in an interview with Bob Woodward, according to excerpts from the veteran journalist's new book.

Trump discussed the weapons system while reflecting on how close the United States and North Korea came to nuclear war in 2017, according to excerpts from “Rage” published Wednesday by The Washington Post, where Woodward is an associate editor.

“I have built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before. We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about,” Trump told Woodward, according to the Post.


“We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before,” Trump added, referring to Russian President Putin.

Because we have the most resources obviously. Sorry you think we are a bunch of losers, I can see why a trumpster would believe that given his failed policies. Fact remains we have the most deaths and our death rate is one of the worst. Only a trumper would call that a success.

I think your right. I love Mattis but if I'm right he left Trump because Trump was pulling our boys our of one of the war zones. Mattis didn't agree, so he left.

“Mattis told Coats Trump is 'dangerous,' 'unfit'”

Confirmation rather than revelation.

That Trump is dangerous and unfit to be president is a fact settled, accepted, and beyond dispute.

The richest country in the world has the most deaths? More failure.

Try again, Brainiac. Whatever our death count is has mainly to do with the fact that we are the largest, most populous nation in the world with open, accurate reporting on our figures, not to mention that the democrats have been doing their damnedest to inflate that figure as high as possible by including anyone drying that was in any way remotely connected to the virus.

Add to that no other country has a greater demand for people coming and going and moving around than us, plus most of our deaths have been the very old in nursing homes who were already very sick and it isn't much surprise at all, but can hardly be counted as a "failure" when nothing like this has been dealt with before AND there is no other country like us in a like circumstance we can compare ourselves to that can say they've done significantly better.

There is something very wrong with some in the top ranks of America’s military. While everyone was focusing on Bob Woodward’s silly claims about Trump and the Wuhan virus, too many ignored a disturbing tidbit about General Mattis.

What the media is ignoring, however, is a much more serious claim, which is that former Secretary of Defense General James Mattis plotted to overthrow Trump and his administration. If Woodward is lying about what Mattis said, Mattis better get out on the record with a denial, and post haste.

Woodward claims that General James Mattis and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats discussed a plot to overthrow the elected government of the United States. What do you call a conversation between the Defense Secretary and the head of the U.S. intelligence apparatus where they are talking about taking “collective action” to remove an elected President? That’s called sedition. A seditious conspiracy.

Obama conducted a major Pentagon purge, firing almost 200 senior officers who held the old-fashioned belief that the military exists to protect America and should not be a social justice institution with limited firepower.

The upper-level officers who remained were hardcore Democrats. While still in the military, Admirable McRaven gave bin Laden a respectful, private burial. Once out of the military, he wrote an editorial for the New York Times, strongly suggesting a military coup against Trump. Barry McCaffrey, a Clinton White House officer, likened Trump to Mussolini because he canceled the White House’s newspaper subscriptions. And Obama’s Joint Chiefs Vice Chair, James Winnefeld, was deeply offended on behalf of ISIS terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi because Trump did the psychologically smart thing of telling al-Baghdadi’s followers that he died like a coward.
