Mattis Slams Trump

Jim Mattis has finally slammed Trump.

Here’s a paragraph from Jeffrey Goldberg’s piece on this topic:

Mattis’s dissatisfaction with Trump was no secret inside the Pentagon. But after his resignation, he argued publicly — and to great criticism — that it would be inappropriate and counterproductive for a former general, and a former Cabinet official, to criticize a sitting president. Doing so, he said, would threaten the apolitical nature of the military. When I interviewed him last year on this subject, he said, “When you leave an administration over clear policy differences, you need to give the people who are still there as much opportunity as possible to defend the country. They still have the responsibility of protecting this great big experiment of ours.” He did add, however: “There is a period in which I owe my silence. It’s not eternal. It’s not going to be forever.”
