| Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly dismisses Trump's claim that Mattis was fired, praises former Pentagon chief |
Kelly defended former defense secretary Jim Mattis on Thursday over his criticism of the president's handling of nationwide protests and disputed Trump's assertion that he fired the retired general in 2018.
"The president did not fire him. He did not ask for his resignation," Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, said in an interview. "The president has clearly forgotten how it actually happened or is confused. The president tweeted a very positive tweet about Jim until he started to see on Fox News their interpretation of his letter. Then he got nasty. Jim Mattis is an honorable man."
Mattis tendered his resignation in 2018 after his disagreement with Trump’s decision to pull U.S. forces out of Syria. |

Marine Corps General James Mattis' No Holds Barred Criticism Of Donald Trump:
"Trump's former defense secretary Mattis blasts president as a threat to American democracy"
Excerpt: "Former Defense Secretary James Mattis denounced President Donald Trump Wednesday in an statement that hammered his former boss as a threat to American democracy.
Trump is needlessly dividing the country and "militarizing" America's response to the protests, Mattis wrote in a statement published by The Atlantic magazine.
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people – does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us," he wrote.
"We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort...""

Concerning yesterday's Real News of General Jim Mattis taking Malignant Messiah over the coals...
In no uncertain terms, Mattis spotlights Trump behaviors that not only fail to uphold the constitution -- thus breaking his presidential oath -- but says in equally emphatic terms that Trump tries to tear the country apart.
Ever since McConnell's bogus dismissal of impeachment charges, Trump cultists have been falsely boasting Trump's exoneration.
In any event, here is a link to Mattis scathing criticism so readers can decide for themselves.
"READ: Former Defense Secretary Mattis' statement on Trump and protests"
Excerpt: "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort."
Then Mattis specifically states that Trump is using the same strategy Hitler used to defeat the United States in World War II. Excerpt: Instructions given by the military departments to our troops before the Normandy invasion reminded soldiers that "The Nazi slogan for destroying us...was 'Divide and Conquer.' Our American answer is 'In Union there is Strength.'" We must summon that unity to surmount this crisis—confident that we are better than our politics.
Cultists seem to think felonious treachery and traitorous behavior have to be preceded by open statement of guilt: "I, Donald Trump, am using Nazi tactics to divide and conquer the United States by traitorous behavior."
Wake up and smell the rohypnol.
