President Donald Trump disparaged his former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Tuesday after he voiced his opposition to the president’s foreign policy.“That says it all about Mattis,” Trump said, sharing a story highlighting the former general’s criticism of President Trump’s “America First” agenda. “Obama fired him. I should have fired him sooner.” (Tweets) Mattis teamed up with three other authors for a co-bylined essay in Foreign Affairs magazine denouncing Trump’s agenda.“In practice, ‘America first’ has meant ‘America alone,'” they wrote. “That has damaged the country’s ability to address problems before they reach U.S. territory and has thus compounded the danger emergent threats pose.”

Fired him sooner? No Mr President, you should have never hired him in the first place.

How in the heck did that man get the handle "mad dog", unless it was a genuine mental infirmity?

America alone? I don't think so. How about Trumps bringing together of middle east countries and re-vitalizing of NATO? Or are you wishing for another 40 years of war in Afghanistan.

A "confirmed bachelor" too. Perhaps that figures into the mix.

Trump should have sent Mattis down to Gitmo on an inspection tour, and then made him a permanent guest there.

Now we know the new administration will be America will resume to leading from behind.
The Cabinet picks seem to be illustrating to people around the world, they can resume taking advantage of America.
It will be known quickly how hard it will be for small businesses to regain a footing, and the administration will use COVID as the excuse, rationalization or justification instead of the new rules, regulations and taxes they impose.

As a former Marine NCO, I used to admire Mattis. Not anymore.
How could a guy go so wrong so quickly? Must be Potomac Fever. I swear, it’s something in the water in D.C.

President Trump has pulled off TWO of the greatest foreign policy achievements in the past 100 years...
1) Israeli-Arab Peace Deal
2) Asia-Pacific "Quad" Alliance.
Blow it out your enchilada hole, Mattis.

I think Trump would have been better served, if they had pulled out the registered voters for the GOP, and done a random drawing for the positions needed.
When you're working from a poolof Washington insiders, any choice seems to bea bad one.

#9, given the "reasoning" Mattis is spewing, I think the nick may have come from the Mad Dog 20/20 (How apt.) refreshment.

Trump's biggest blunder, like W. Bush, was his failure to immediately remove every single Obamunist from the ranks of appointed positions. The transition period is the opportunity to remove every single US attorney, for example. There is no reason to keep ANY hangers-on from the previous administration. They should be fired at once, regardless of the consequences. He also should have dramatically cut personnel levels across the board. FUture Presidents must understand the critical need for a massive purge.
His second biggest mistake was his hiring. His staffing was riddled with moles, leakers, and saboteurs, like Bush's. His top hires were also highly suspect, ambitious (Kelly), weak, cowardly (Sessions) or downright treasonous (Wray).
