Mattis insisted it was inappropriate to “endanger the country by attacking the elected commander in chief”
“The duty of silence," Mattis explained. "If you leave an administration, you owe some silence."
Pressed on whether he bears a responsibility to warn Americans about a potentially unfit president, Mattis insisted it was inappropriate to “endanger the country by attacking the elected commander in chief.” “North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me,” Trump wrote online. “I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?”
Mattis’ support for longstanding global partnerships and harsh words for foreign strongmen diverged markedly from Trump’s foreign policy posture, though his decision to step down from the president’s Cabinet late last year resulted from his disagreement with the president’s order to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria.
