U.S. President Donald Trump said he is unsure whether Defense Secretary James Mattis is planning to step down from his post, but told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in a pre-taped interview that the retired general might and that he regards Mattis as “sort of a Democrat.”

This is FOR THE MOST PART, FAKE NEWS.
Yes it is fake news. The left uses fake news to make our friends think we are backstabbers. They will divide us and conquer us if they can.
He looks sort'a like one of our marvelous Basset Hounds.....
Mattis has been a loyal SECDEF.
Once they opened up the door on medical payments, I think it was going to generate a massive long-term problem. You could easily have 300 military members with 14-year old kids who want a transgender surgery option, and you’d suddenly start to pay for them. None of this was clearly thought out.
C’mon, his ears aren’t that long.
;^)
Mattis never smiles unless he’s stacking the bodies of our enemies.
Mattis is a loyal SECDEF
We do need people to walk point.
if this happens to be real news, it may not be...
either way, I wish PDJT would stop publicly criticizing the people in his administration ... talk any problems over with them in private like a good manager does
and if necessary, then remove them from their jobs... but again, please no unnecessary public criticism (unless they do it to PDJT of course)
there is a way of handling personnel issues, and running them into the public media isn’t usually part of it, imho
“Forgive me, but it would be a shame if they all died on the table.”
Just like EX-Marine murtha?
“Since when did a Democrat have love of country?”
Zell Miller? He’s the last one I think.
Bonzo and his hit man, Erik the Holder, appear to have scared the bejeesuz out of all of the admirals and generals. They’re all afraid of their own shadows these days. Sad.
Not familiar with ex Marine Murtha...
So Mattis wants “Transgenders” serving in our military? What’s the real deal with this Mattis anyway? I’ve read he has never been married.
ABC News December 2016:
“Party: Mattis is registered to vote in Washington state, which does not require political affiliations be disclosed. In April he declined an offer from conservatives to run as an independent as an alternative to Trump and Hillary Clinton.”

Vanity Fair Hive, March 2017:
“REPUBLICANS GROWING FRUSTRATED THAT “MAD DOG” MATTIS IS TOO LIBERAL”:

* JULY 1987: Trump registers for the first time from his Fifth Avenue penthouse. The real estate developer, 41 at the time, reports having previously been registered from his boyhood home in Queens (though his prior party affiliation is unclear). Trump enrolls as a REPUBLICAN.
* OCTOBER 1999: Trump dumps the GOP and enrolls as a member of the INDEPENDENCE PARTY.
* AUGUST 2001: Trump enrolls as a DEMOCRAT.
* SEPTEMBER 2009: After eight years as a Democrat, Trump returns to the REPUBLICAN PARTY.
* DECEMBER 2011: Trump lasts two years before he again abandons the party of Ronald Reagan. He eschews the GOP in favor of siding with no party. On his registration form, “The Apprentice” star checks off the box marked “I DO NOT WISH TO ENROLL IN A PARTY.”
* APRIL 2012: Trump registers as a REPUBLICAN.

No big shock that he could think like a Democrat. Many in the military like having all their decisions made for them!
Distraction and diversion. Trump has a reason for everything.
Marine Generals tend not to smile much.
If true it could explain why Lindsey Graham is sucking up like crazy lately. He could be angling for Mattis’s job.
The POS EX-Marine congress critter from PA that publicly besmirched the Marines in Haditha calling them murderers before any investigation took place.
