Trump’s Presidency is imploding before our eyes. Going to take decades to reverse Trump’s damage to America.

The question is Who is the 'mad dog'?

Trump was unchecked my Mattis anyway. He was too arrogant to listen to any of Mattis’s advice, which is why he “retired”

DaggumRoy The last of the adults have left the room.

Mad Dog 🇺🇸 2020!!! AmericaFirst BuildTheWallNow GovernmentShutdown MAGA SemperFi Mattis MadDog

Oh good grief! You were against Mattis when he was nominated for the job, now you love him, hypocrits!!

God willing all his days sad Trump

LOL , was he REALLY checking him?

What do you have to say on Obama starting three wars and funding ISIS ?

More like America fears.....

You liberals love Mattis now? Yet you were cheering when Obama fired him. You’re all nuts, starting with NancyPelosi

Great day for Americans and servicemen who have been forced to fight wars for other people. George Washington is smiling down from heaven as neocons craw away crying into their holes.

Can you post your article when Obama fired Mattis? This is not a partisan paper, right?!

At this rate, we’ll have peace everywhere. Eeek.

Donald Trump has given the keys to America to Putin. How long will his base and felllw Republicans let themselves be played for fools?

How many is that now?

Yep!

Scary time for us all

Canadiangal51 Then Washington should do something about it. Trump is a failure.

It is sad your followers don’t see through your mind controlling narrative.

Why? He was elected. We get what we deserve.

Pardon me, but the president isn't 'checked' by his general, he IS the commander in chief

Problems with a crazy head of government? In England, MI6 would say, '007, make it look like an accident'

A terrifying time for America as we truly let sink in that this president has no moral compass. He’s cowed by his supporters’ criticism and craves approval from the world’s “strong men”. TwilightZone

The sad day was 2 years ago. This is the consequence.

Is the US heading for a Trump dictatorship.

The world fears Trump...unchecked by Congress.

Your just stupid if you think mattis was checking trump on anything trump is a complete narcissistic and isn’t going to listen to anyone 🙄

What they are fearing is the consequences of their own inaction.

Where was the outrage when Obama terminated General Mattis? Mattis then wrote a letter saying he was not happy with Obama's approach to foreign policy!

Ya Think!!..

Especially with Tom Cotton waiting in the wings ....

It's clear that T is not working for our national interest, but for that of Russia.

Since Trump has became president the Media/Dems/Neocons have pushed for endless wars in the middle east (pro military industrial complex), exporting of industry over seas (pro economic globalization), and mass importation of cheaper labor (pro big corp). Whos enemy of the peole?

No problem

Hell, WeThePeople also fear an unchecked Trump abandoning allies and American principles. I sure hope Mueller gets to the finish line first, before Trump sells U.S. to Putin.

benavu54 No, it's good. He wasn't on the track in the ME, more of an Obama follower than Trump's. Had to go.

The Taliban in Afghanistan is reported to love the Christmas present Trump gave them as much as Putin likes being given Syria. And ISIS still is in shock at Trump gifting them an open door.

No problem Trump knows exactly what he's doing

Impeach that lying bag of crap

This is silly. What evidence is there showing that Mattis ever checked Trump on anything? I am so sick of hearing about the so-called 'adults' who moderate Trump's behavior. It's wishful thinking and our news media needs to stop indulging in it.

Thank You for your service General Mattis Sir we appreciate your service & the help you provided our country.The honorable thing for a man like you would be to assist our great President with a reputable constitution loving replacement to fill your shoes. Can we count on you Sir?

Fear porn by your friendly CIA controlled Washington Post!!

Well, duh. I've questioned it from day one. How many respectable GOP people will it take to finally say Individual-1 is not fit for office before action is taken?

Trump should have been impeached 2yrs ago and lock up 30yr ago

The post is pro war now 🧐 really makes you think

No it don't.

Mattis.. if he knows this to be true why would he leave Trump unchecked. Especially knowing that whoever Trump hires for the job next is going to be in his pocket like Whitaker is and like Barr.

The GOP. 'Struggle' with fact to find or make it better structure for leadership an eight plus candidate.

Amazing Trump wants to bring troops home but liberals don’t & biased media like NYT wants wars! Go figure! TDS & hate are powerful pull on liberals!

yeah cause anytime America n kids are going to safely come home from two pointless wars that only profit cooperations is sad

This is going to be very dangerous for America now, he's going to put a bunch of weak yes man around him and he's going to love it it's important that somebody has to watch this President 24/7, he's talking to Putin at least five times a week

Why don’t you just admit Trump fulfilling his campaign promises is something you hate. If this was Obama you’d be praising him continually.

Liberal Logic

FREE AT LAST..FREE AT LAST..THANK GOD O'MIGHT ..FREE AT LAST...that's what he really staying

Are u serious or just manipulative, as usual? Gen. Mattis confused his constitutional role. President is the Boss. It was time to let Mattis go. A better Sec of Defense is needed.

Trump's attempt to end pointless wars is now going to be unchecked by those advocating for permanent pointless wars. The horror!

No we don’t. Mattis was great but I’m not afraid of Trump or his next pick. Stop witn the divisive hyperbole. YOU are the problem here.

Analysis: Mattis' resignation said he was not having an affect on Trump. Therefore all of Trump's success was his own. WaPo again does things backwards if they were worried about Trump instead of just trolling they would be calling for someone stronger than Mattis. Poor article.

Funny how Dems worried about Mattis selection for sec now oh my he was a savior lost

Mattis didn’t have a chance against PUTIN! “PERIOD”

What will we ever do without Mattis preventing Trump from saving American lives and wealth

Tic toc tic toc...

Mattis understands it’s not possible to check a dictator.realDonaldTrump is the worst kind of demagogue. He panders to the voice of his minority of voters and ignores that the majority, who actually voted against him, is growing daily. His trumpuppets are flailing.

It’s clear who the war hawks are now and it isn’t conservatives. We’re tired of feeding our sons to the neocon war machine.

Mattis & his ilk are just like Gen Westmoreland. Send troops to fight a war, die, suffer injuries or PTSD, but don't let them win. I'm surprised at you WaPo. Do you really hate Trump that much?

Unchecked Trump? How about “checking him” by beginning ImpeachNow when the Dems take over Congress in January! NO TIME TO WASTE or as senmarcorubio so stupidly said, convince Trump to go in a different direction. Where has he been for 2 yrs?

Perspective | Why I don’t plan to put pressure on my kids to get straight A’sMy students have become increasingly fixated on their letter grades. I want my own kids to realize it's not all about the A's. If a D is passing then that's fine with me With Harvard now allowing SAT scores in the 1200's in, why bother? It's truly becoming the participation trophy generation. The only 'A' anyone notices is Activism. Idiocracy When the other kid gets into an Ivy League school and their's don't, I'm sure they won't complain about it.

America's foreign policy is seen threatened by James Mattis' exit, feeling of chaos in WashingtonAs a quarter of the federal government barrels headlong into a shutdown, the biggest story in Washington concerns America's presence overseas. Didn’t Obama fire him? more misleading info. Why was this not a problem when Obama fired him in 2013? Was Pelosi shaken then? No. Was Schumer concerned? No. Did Feinstein say anything? No. Hard to understand Washington and CNBC.

Mattis, Blindsided by Trump’s Syria Decision, Resigned Days LaterThe resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis came two days after a top-level meeting at the Pentagon at which he was unable to temper White House plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and Afghanistan. Trump just more powerful. Lead by the intuition of 5 time draft dodger/bankruptcy king ..based on 'bone spurs' that plays golf a third of the time in his 70's. I'm guessing the only 'president' to Never visit the troops. No time w golfing and fleecing America w his Mar Lago Charges. Liberals screaming for war. The hippies love war.

James Mattis' warning to AmericaJulian Zelizer writes on the growing danger of instability under a President who fundamentally governs off of his prejudices and impulses, as opposed to the kind of strategic vision embodied in Mattis' departure letter. Opinion Market plunge, Syria/Afghanistan debacle, Government shutdown, Jim Mattis leaves. All a result of Trump's stupidity and repug cowardice. The sound you hear are champagne glasses clinking in the Kremlin. Opinion James Mattis wants war that’s why he left 🤣 Opinion “Hey America he’s your problem now!” Is that the gist of the letter?
