‘Glad He’s Gone’ — Donald Trump Calls Gen. Jim Mattis ‘World’s Most Overrated General’

President Donald Trump reacted to a statement from Gen. Jim Mattis after his former Secretary of Defense criticized his leadership.

“Probably the only thing Barack Obama and I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General,” Trump wrote.

Whoa Prez.

Don't get into a sticks/stones verbal exchange with our prior military high ranking officials. You hired him too and called him MAD-DOG. Now calling him Chaos??

Not a good look for all in our military. You are much better than that!

A great general but part of the swamp.

As a Marine. I'm quite EMBARRASSED of this general and others like Kelly. I expect a MARINE most of all to STFU and follow orders. It just proves that our military leaders are just INEPT politicians in uniform.

The pool of upper level military officers President Trump had to choose from had all passed through the Obama filter to even be on active duty in January 2017.

Those who disagreed with Obama, Jarrett, Brennan, Clapper, Biden on days he wasn't being bribed by Ukraine & China were removed and retired. e.g. Gen. Flynn.

Mattis had a fine career, but chose to leave DoD. He would have been wise not to initiate this skirmish.

I hear you and feel the same way.
Our only savior, Mr Trump is quite a drama actor and goes way too far most of the time. He uses the media to attack the swamp but usually acts like an alligator

Hey clown, I believe the ultimate orders come from the US Constitution. The man spoke put directly about what he saw as anticonstitutional acts. Domt let that get in the way of your internet Tony Tough Guy act

Yetypu dopes still believe in the myst of Trump Allmighty. Even in the text of his juvenile insults, Trump cant help but tell yet another lie; Mattis has been nicknamed Mad Dog for over a decade. Yet you guys truly do believe in the Trump garbage. You are either too stupid or too dishonest to be trusted.

408 how dare you!!! You would rather take orders from a man who got out of military service over heel spurs than a decorated marine who spent his whole life in service to his country WOW!!!

Decorated?? You fool. What did he do?? What was his decorations?? He was a political hacks who spent his entire career in safety. He flew in. Gave an ooh rha and left. Why don't you do some research dumbass?? Educate yourself. Especially since you never served. I did. I saw this boob. He was the Marine Corps politician. Never gave or took fire. So don't come here running your mouth over a person you ONLY read about. It's all LIES.

How did he get the name MAD DOG?? It wasn't because he was a lean mean fighting machine.

921 LOL You believe you know someone's service record just because they made a comment you didn't like. Too funny. It's pointless arguing with buffoons like you. You actually think you have some knowledge because you spend all day in your own fantasy world winning debates with yourself.

I'm a BAFFOON?? Your comment alone just proves you're another shorebillie that can't understand FACTS. That's why you only attack. You can't debate FACTS.

I don't want to hear a DRAFT DODGER insult a Marine, let alone an American Patriot and Hero who was decorated enough in the military to reach the distinguished title of General.

Trump isn't worthy of polishing that mans boots.

This is just another in a long list of Trump throwing a tantrum like a child, he's a man who can't stand criticism. He's has such a tiny, fragile ego.

I'm over him. Done. I voted for him... but when he claimed his power was total, he violated his oath to defend the Constitution. When he declared he could override Governors, he violated the oath to defend the Constitution, and when he a Americans gassed for a photo shoot, he violated his oath again.

Done.
