What exactly did the president say, because it looks like the Pentagon is contradicting the WSJ article—not the president. Fake news!

Trump can fire Mattis the very next minute. Here’s the scoop. With most politicians, what you see isn’t what you get. With Trump, that’s true to a head-spinning extent. Trump says he wants a wall. He could veto every appropriations bill until he gets a standalone bill on the wall. But he hasn’t done that. He could go to every district in which a Republican has voted against a wall, and urge voters to remove him during the next primary. He hasn’t.
All this stuff about the deep state presupposes locked-in civil service people pulling the levers behind the scenes. The reality is that these people can be fired if they do not follow orders. And firing Mattis would be a fine initiative pour encourager les autres. But Trump hasn’t fired Mattis. The correct conclusion is that Trump is just shining segments of his supporters on. I think, politically-speaking, that it is one of the strangest things I’ve seen a politician do, but maybe it will help him win re-election in 2020. We can only hope.
