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.

I highly doubt President Trump was planning a 50 million dollar military event. Sounds like the usual bull$hit to me.
““swallow acid” as in LSD?”
Or Mauriac, whatever works./sarc
Bad dog! Back in the closet!
Fake but accurate!
Deep state there much, mad dog? You POS swamper puke!
I thought I saw something posted here recently that ex military are not supposed to trash the CIC. It’s against some military law. Anyone know what that is?
sounds like a good idea for him
maybe we can take up a collection to send him something tasty to drink as he suggests?
“...the ‘Age of Innocence’, when I like many others did not fully understand the Swamp/Deep State/DC Establishment.”
Like me, too. From the Bushes on. Uniparty, globalist, cheap labor con men and con women, living large and laughing at you and me, the sheeple.
These dems can come up with the sickest things.

Mattis thinks hes burt Lancaster.
Does anyone actually read these books that come out daily by everyone.
The Military Complex hires these five star generals to lobby for generational wars that the Congress and Senate are more than happy to oblige since they get reelection money from the Military Complex. In the mean time someone’s son or daughter is killed due to dumbass rules of engagement that the Obamas of the world inflict upon them.
I don’t remember Mattis complaining about dumbass rules of engagement. Which five star general wrote a scathing book explaining why we don’t win wars anymore? I only hear crickets.
I am as mad as you are. They ALL infuriate me.
Mattie is a homo. He is seeing the big boys take over and shut down this coup attack. Trump is experiencing very similar patterns of generals going off the rails as Lincoln did.
Gen. Mattis going from an admired to detested individual.
All self inflicted.
Mattis approved of trannies in the military.
That alone, for me, is reason enough to not applaud for him whether or not this particular accusation turns out the be true.
The criteria stands and the jury is in on Mattis as far as I'm concerned. Snodgrass, we'll see.
I knew this guy was a bastard from the beginning. He can’t even get a decent set of dentures.
Another dramatic quote from the backstabbing Theranos drama queen who never got married, never had a kid, no woman anywhere in sight. Mattis said that whole “tears in my eyes..if you F with me ill kill you all”.
When Marines actually fought like he talked, big mouth Mattis had them arrested.
He’s a deep state tool.
And goes stag to every event...
” but she called off the wedding days before it was to occur, not wanting to burden his career. “
Translation. Didn’t wanna be his beard
