Well, I’m sure Mattis wanted him to say “I’m not leaving,” so he could send in the troops and some Airport Channel reporters to remove him.
Mattis is out of military and works for William Cohen’s group that is employed by the ChiComs.
Which explains why Mattis is unhappy with “America First” anymore. His new paycheck is dependent on “America Last.” Sad to see he sold out for filthy lucre.
