Trump has an addiction to pettiness. Mattis is gone. Drop it. Move on. Trump does himself no good by getting into spitting matches with ex-subordinates. He gets into spitting matches with current subordinates as well, which is even worse. He's supposed to be the boss. He should act like it. Bosses don't get into twitter wars about subordinates. Bosses should support their subordinates -- Trump must have missed the downward loyalty lecture at Wharton -- and transfer or dismiss them sa decently as possible if they don't measure up. Corrections and disputes should be kept private. The constant soap opera about his own appointees is an unforced error.

“Trump has an addiction to pettiness. Mattis is gone. Drop it. Move on. Trump does himself no good by getting into spitting matches with ex-subordinates. He gets into spitting matches with current subordinates as well, which is even worse.”

President Trump has been nothing but gracious to General Mattis. Mattis knifed president Trump in the back.

The article is based on an anonymous report of a private meeting by a Bloomberg News journalist, who repeated an alleged quote previously repeated by a colleague who was supposedly in the room when it was said.

Trump tried to keep it private and publicly praised Mattis.

Trump was not being petty. The media is.

Breathtaking statement given the rank disloyalty and even treasonous behavior of many of those careerists “serving” POTUS.

Trump should have "downward loyalty to Mattis?" What a stupid thing to come up with.

Mattis is not a "subordinate" he's a civilian who was an insubordinate backstabber. Worse, he became a vindictive, rat-serving drama queen because he didn't like when the Trump put a stick in the spokes of mil.industrial.com. He had no business in the policy arena. His job was to implement the orders of the President who WE elected. The Mideast is not his to decide, in his faggotized little brain.

Because of people like him, I had to piss next to trannies when I was in the Mideast. Not kidding.

He can go fkn choke. So can his idiot apologists.
