“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” Mattis writes. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”

He goes on to contrast the American ethos of unity with Nazi ideology...

Trump is dividing the nation?!

Look around pal - the only one standing up for the constitution and rule of law IS Trump.

Certainly not YOU.

We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers.

Point in fact. It not just a small number of lawbreakers. Mattis, you just exposed yourself as either ignorant, socialist deep stater or both.

Small number of lawbreakers? Are you smoking crack? Have you not seen the looting, the fires, the assaults and even murders? You think Trump is the first president in your lifetime who does not try to unite the people.....where the hell were you when Obama was in office?

Also, he was right to withdraw as much as possible from Syria and he’s been right to stay away from meddling in foreign countries for the most part - contrary to your advice.

Definition of “uniting the country” = capitulate to the democrat narrative.

I’m mildly surprised Mattis has kept his mouth shut this long.
