Former secretary of defense Jim Mattis told aides he would rather 'swallow acid' than allow Trump to throw a $50million 'Victory Parade', and said the president's summit with Putin was a display of the White House seeking 'instant gratification', a new book reveals.
Mattis, who was known as 'Mad Dog' during his career in the military, resigned in December 2018 following Trump's decision to withdraw US troops from Syria.
The defense chief's former speechwriter Guy Snodgrass has detailed his clashes with the president in new book, Holding The Line: Inside Trump's Pentagon With Secretary Mattis, obtained by DailyMail.com ahead of its publication next week.
At one point Mattis was frank with a group of reporters about Trump telling them: 'I'm not trying to put lipstick on a pig for you,' retired Navy Cmdr. Guy Snodgrass writes.

Mattis is experiencing life after service, a service where one kept their mouth shut, now that his hand cuffs are off he has diarrhea.
Treasonous bastards...
What a dimwit
“It just goes to show that anyone who has been rewarded by the Deep State with positions and promotions should be suspect until they prove they’re willing to help destroy the system that rules the government from behind the scenes. “
Why dont you apply that standard to Snodgrass?
I was not one of them clapping for this asshole back then but I didnt stop anyone here from doing so..
...”The Swamp is deep. Too much money there.”...
Sounds like Mattis may be an example of what President Eisenhower warned us about..”The Military-Industrial Complex.”
There were some clear warnings signs. I don’t remember what they were..but I think most here thought he would be an asset.

Mattis is all for the U.S> being the world’s policeman.
swallow acid as in LSD?
from wiki
Is Jim Mattis married?
Personal life. Mattis has never been married and has no children. He proposed to a woman, but she called off the wedding days before it was to occur, not wanting to burden his career. He is nicknamed “The Warrior Monk” because of his bachelorhood and lifelong devotion to the study of war.
Id suggest phosphoric acid, on the rocks with a twist of lemon.
Mattis was on the board of Theranos and a big supporter of Elizabeth Holmes. He may be a smart soldier but that is where it ends.
The Warrior Monk huh? My gaydars pinging.
Great minds!
