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.

The Swamp is deep. Too much money there
***************
Big government = big money. The river of money flowing through DC is vast and deep. All the Swamp creatures are willing to do anything to protect their source of wealth.
Virtue signaling.
What a loser.
Yep. Trump is nearly alone. He has revealed do much to us. Blind I was for decades.
WE may need to tell Mattis to drink up, and pass it on to the rest of the DEEP STATE! We are covered up with Traitors posing as caring about our country!
God is clear: Ecclesiastes: 10:2 “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”
Would you like a cherry with that
After finding out what's on in the Ukraine I believe the intelligence community is using America's power to run a shakedown operation.. The plan now is to put the whole thing all off on Trump...
It’s mindboggling.
Don't forget the "portable lactation units" for nursing mothers to pump during combat training. Or the camo maternity uniforms.
Here’s your acid.
Mattis was always a pussy, always protecting his career over the lives of soldiers, sailors, and airmen. He is a perfumed princess.
Mattpriss is NO Patton.
I disliked the idiot the second I heard his nickname was “mad dog” yet he never served in combat and was known as an ‘intellectual’.
As soon as McNoName gave his enthusiastic approval of Mattis, it should have been a red flag that this guy was their comrade.
Trump WILL prevail!
I told folks here a while back Trump is no dummy. When you are a power house real estate/developer in the high priced, high stakes and high pressure world of the multi-million dollar world of high end NYC real estae you’re either smartter than God Almighty and tough as leather or you’re over by lunch time. Mattis was way out of his league with Trump.
Indeed. Proverbs 11:29.
WTF can’t these so called ADULT MEN STFU?? W hat kind of MILITRARY GUY YAKS SO MUCH?
