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.”

Mattis, who left the White House at the end of 2018 over differences on defense strategy with the president, warned Coats that “there may come a time when we have to take collective action” against Trump, according to excerpts of the Woodward book reported upon by The Washington Post,

The Post did not say if Woodward’s book clarified what kind of “collective action” Mattis was referencing.......

Mattis is a "lifelong" bachelor. He doesn't associate with women.

There's good reason for that.

Mattis helped persecute the Haditha marines.

He never was trustworthy.

What Mattis meant was that Trump wouldn’t go along with the Military-Industrial-Political program. Coats knew exactly what he meant.

“Dangerous and unfit”?

After 4 years in office, he’s suddenly dangerous and unfit?

Glad he said something. I was about to waste my vote.

I guess Trump is unfit if you’re worried that peace might break out in the middle east

Mattis was and is an arrogant ass. He thinks he is the second coming of Marcus Aurelius.

Its impossible for him to just fight a war to win. He feels he has to somehow place his mark on history.

Has perma-bachelor Mattis been to Epstein’s island? I’d like to know.

Well, President Trump IS dangerous - to the Evil Inside the Beltway Establishment!

He is draining the SWAMP!

Swamp critters are fighting back, but they WILL loose!

So where does Mattis stand now that Trump has negotiated the normalization between Israel and UAI and Bahrain, with many other Arab nations looking towards the same? Up next is Oman, IMHO. This is historic stuff - Mattis is a war-mongering swamp fool.

Let’s put this in perspective: TRUMP is dangerous. Not GW Bush, or the Clintons who gave us 911 and a 17 year war in the middle east. The Clintons who if it weren’t for Trump would right now be in the White house.

Mattis is a "lifelong" bachelor. He doesn't associate with women. He is bent like Bill Clinton's ding dong.

So, the next ineluctable question about the little backstabbing, Obama-General Mattis is whether, like Clinton, he was Epstein's bitch. What an absolute disgrace to the Marine Corps.
