“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...

Once again, Mattis proves what I have been saying about him for three and a half years:

He is a Deep State, Globalist, 0bamanite Perfumed Prince who Trump should have never hired.

Leftists are orgasmic over this Mattis statement on twitter.

Naturally, the Mattis Fan Club will yet again excuse his pathetic undermining of POTUS. Or maybe they’ll just go AWOL this time like Mattis has done here.

The Enemies Within are Shocking. Deep State, NWO, Establishment War Mongers are Uniting against the Most Uniting POTUS of our lifetime. These people know that.. they are AFRAID of us truly being United. VERY DISAPPOINTING.. VERY DISTURBING. We are at WAR against DECEPTICONS.

...who resigned as secretary of defense in December 2018 to protest Donald Trump’s Syria policy, has, ever since, kept studiously silent about Trump’s performance as president.

Oh really? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=mattis

From 2008 to 2016, were you, GEN Mattis, asleep on watch?

Dereliction of Duty is a UCMJ offense for anyone in the ranks. But not for an ex-Marine who enters politics, evidently.

Are you applying for the Murtha Chair of Policy Matters in Congress?

Someone explain to me why each and every veteran who achieves high public office goes hard Left?

It’s amazing that Mattis does not recognize that we are in the middle of an insurrection that has just turned into an armed insurrection. Most of the insurrectionists are American Citizens and are burrowed into every element of our government. Mattis may be one of them.

“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,”

I guess Lincoln united us, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives and a devastation that we’re still recovering from, a century and a half later. Maybe Mattis is looking for something like that?

Or maybe he’s looking for Obama’s style of uniting us, where over half the country is told to be perpetually ashamed of itself, and all of us are supposed to be ashamed of our history, heritage and principles.

And now we know why Trump got rid of him. Part of the swamp.

Constitutional rights to riot, loot, murder cops. Riiight. And he falls victim to Godwin's Law, too.

Mattis is an honorable moron. Liberalism is a mental disorder, indeed.

Wonder how long it will take before Trump says, “You’re Fired”.

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

Plea pay no attention to the thousands of destroyed businesses, the torched and defaced churches, the burned cop cars, the hundreds of injured cops, dozens killed.

F’ng moron must be suffering from Biden’s disease where one becomes utterly clueless.

A free people are free to disagree.

Tyranny demands unanimity.

Never liked MadDog. Always figured him as a self-promoting fraud.

“This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding.”

Mattis, you are a freaking lying POS. Trump NEVER criticized the protesters, he was after the rioters who were killing and looting and destroying.

Did anyone with a room temperature IQ ever think this little worm would not attack Trump during the campaign?

Mathis follows in the footsteps of Benedict Arnold, who was a good general until he wasn’t and turned traitor.

Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try.

Having watch sanctimonious president after sanctimonious president wring his hands and talk about uniting the country I find it refreshing to have a president who doesn't try. You're either for Trump or else you're against him, and if your against him then screw you. Nothing wrong with honesty.

Since DJT came down the escalator in June 2015, it has never ceased to amaze me the number of those who have turned out to be the opposite of what they represented...or I thought they represented...maybe the tentacles of the deep state are longer than I thought...Press on President Trump, press on.

Mattis misses the McCain/ISIS days, back when the deep state ran things.
