President Donald Trump trashed former Defense Secretary James Mattis during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, and said he’d “essentially” fired the retired Marine Corps general, when in fact Mattis resigned with a harsh letter to the President last month.
A few days after receiving that letter, Trump shoved Mattis out the door two months early.
“What’s he done for me?” Trump said of Mattis Wednesday. “How has he done in Afghanistan? Not too good. Not too good. I’m not happy with what he’s done in Afghanistan.”
The President has said he will withdraw half of the 14,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan.

Things that were every other President’s fault are now the fault of the Cabinet.
LOL
When will this fuckin’ nightmare end?
This entire ramble was on msnbc. At one point he said “I would have been a great general.”
This non-stop garbage spewing is so old. I want to keep up with what is going on, but feel like hearing constant lies is damaging to one’s health.
Kept your stupid ass out of a shooting war with the Iranians or the North Koreans, probably. But aside from that, Ms. Lincoln,
