Libs hated the mattis appointment and now libs love him because he’s leaving. Make up your freakin minds.

He didn't retire, he decided to leave because he didn't agree with the way things were going!

IFixedIt Breaking: Defense Secretary James Mattis quit, his letter to President Trump says

I heard General Flynn is available

James Mattis steps down. Did not want to continue getting bit by the Mad Dog! 😜

I can't wait to read the book.

, Fakenews on twitter. He quit or was fired like all the rest.

Mattis survived Trump.

Can't believe Mattis hung around this long. He's a true leader

Cómo cuántos quedan del gabinete original?

The stampede away from Tronald Dump continues unabated

Where did the WSJ find the word retiring? He quit and spelled out why: he likes our allies and wants protection from those who do not share our interests.... he did not thank the giant toddler for the opportunity to serve. He thanked the American people.

Oops

Get your facts right!!! He quit!!! He isn’t retiring...there is a difference!!!

No , Mattis is not retiring. Let's be clear here. He resigned. To have a military man with his career of service leave the post should , rightly concern all Americans.

most probably final step for Iran war preparation !

Mattis’ resignation letter makes it clear. “My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.”

Crap, I love mad dog.

We are so screwed.

Are you guys tired of the winning, too?

'Secretary Of Defense Hannity ton see you, sir.'

He quit. The letter says nothing about retirement.

In his letter to Trump, Mattis wrote that the president had a right to a defense secretary 'whose views are better aligned with yours.' Read the full letter:

Change your headline. Mattis quit.

Jumping ship. Who’s next? Melania?

Mattis is RESIGNING, not retiring. Good for him. He should have resigned long ago. Ludicrous for the President of the US to announce everything via Twitter instead of a news conference or another in person official communication.

Funny.. his resignation letter sounds like he's quitting.. not retiring. It's kind of nuanced distinction, isn't it?

Thank you for your service

The only officr stayed in his office from first day was mike pence [the most silent ] officer if i am not wrong...

Right after he wakes up and yanks troops from Syria- I'm sure not related at all

The GOP restraints on their idiot in chief are failing more and more everyday and the nation will pay for their idiocy!!

He's being forced out!!! He want to stay as Defense Secretary.

Not good....

Retiring?.He Quit

Intrim sec defence will be some guy called Vladimir...

Because he couldn’t temper the incompetence of realDonaldTrump Please rescue us Mueller!!!! God knows the GOP won’t.

This administration has been in distress since day 1! Considering he was the last adult in the room. I think it’s time senatemajld, and SpeakerRyan have a real discussion with the commander and chief. This isn’t a dem issue, this issue can only be fixed by the party who created it. It’s really that simple at this point, and these You can put an end to this madness...Fake President tRump AKA Individual 1......lock him up.
