General Patton was always getting into trouble because he couldn’t hold his opinions back. And his very high opinion of himself.

Patton is one of our great heroes. If you’re not willing to piss people off how are you going to win?

My great Uncle M Was Patton’s exec. My great Aunt L, M’s sister (both born in the 19 aughts) said that when Patton died M cried all night She said I never saw my brother cry, only twice- and they grew up tough in an Irish neighborhood in. The Bronx during the depression.

She said “I saw my brother cry twice and once was when Patton died. He cried all night”

It’s really a matter of who is the guy, the leader being mean to? All great men, women, are mean to the right enemies.

Even Mother Teresa pissed off a lot of people. The Clintons. She read them the riot act on the world stage over abortion

The difference is that Patton didn't have to get elected by a majority. He just had to have one boss who appreciated his talent and could afford tomoiss off everyone else.

Trump can't.
