Donald Trump unexpectedly fired his Secretary of Defense before his schedule resignation date of February 28th, because Mattis made him angry.
Trump, Angry Over Mattis’s Rebuke, Removes Him 2 Months Early
Trump in effect FIRED Mattis from the beginning by ignoring his military advice and expertise.
Why did Trump hire Mattis in the first place?
Does Trump not know the people he hires?
I understand he can’t read beyond a few sentences! Resumes too?
This is text from Mattis:
“ I believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours. It is clear that
China and Russia, for example, want to shape a world consistent with their
authoritarian model - gaining veto authority over other nations' economic, diplomatic, and security decisions - to promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbors, America and our allies. That is why we must use all the tools of American power to provide for the common defense.”
