Mattis resigns after clash with Trump over Syria withdrawal - Washington Post

If I were him I would leave now Ok two week .

Not good

Word on the street is captainobvious is next in line for the SOD position. realDonaldTrump likes guys with more military experience than him

Here’s what he means- “Hey dips___t, I’ve got DECADES of experience in this game and you have zero interest in hearing what I have to say. Do it yourself then, you asshole! I’m outta here! Sincerely, General Mattis”

WOW!!! In the Defense Secretary James Mattis' resignation letter Not ONE WORD about how brilliant the Commander-in-Chief is.

'The Iraq Body Count project (IBC) figure of Documented civilian deaths from violence is 173,686 – 193,965 as of April 2017. This includes reported civilian deaths due to Coalition and insurgent military action, sectarian violence and increased criminal violence.'

Could Nancy Pelosi end up as President? Not so far fetched is it now? MSNBC maddow

The grown ups are quitting the nursery. All who will be left are the Trump family who see government as a giant milking machine. Should we laugh or cry?

Another same govt official is gone...the crazy man has less people to talk him out of being crazy..

Trump is most likely searching the Fox News employees listings for his replacement. 😂

With Mattis leaving, the fake Potus is running out of adults. Wonder who the next incompetent buffoon will be to fill this role? Rick Perry? Hahaha. impeachtrump

Mattis announced it. Trump tweeted out a false narrative afterwards. Report things correctly. Do better.

Question $o God forbid the Country has a Crisis TODAY Tell me who would lead the NATION? certainly not a COMPROMISED Criminal w/VENGEFUL tendency And this is where we 🇺🇸 find ourselves as this Experiment in Reality T.V. 📺 approaches its final episodes

Mattis does not deserve praise for 'hanging in there.' Kinda like a firefighter walking away from a 4 alarm fire saying 'I loved serving the department but I'm afraid it's time to retire.'

Look at how long obama’s stayed in office. This is normal.

Another hat for Prince Jared I suppose.

The Command and Control structure of the USA is crumbling under Trump's mismanagement. The first point of an attack against any nation is their C&C. Anybody wondering why Putin is smiling?

Lol... nice job comrade..much more too do ... carry on

The early favorite to replace Mattis? You guessed it....Mick Mulvaney.

Not only have the wheels come off, we’re fishtailing on the ice and there are no guardrails.

Personally I'm excited, I think incoming SecDef CobraCommander is going to do a great job, really just the best. Working with Trump and doing things bigly!

Fahrenthold Tries to make it sound amicable, but the resignation letter doesn't support that view at all.

Mattis apparently is just a dime a dozen war monger.Kill your alleged enemy, such is the solution to world discord. Mattis, the Bushes and Army privates that enjoy killing should be ashamed. If attacked, attack otherwise mind your own business.

Mattis’s departure could add new uncertainty to which course the administration might take on its global challenges, including Iran and North Korea, amid questions about the pending withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria.

Trump doesn't need a defence secretary. He can do everyone's job.

Trump will really struggle to find someone willing to take this position.

Trump announces Jim Mattis will leave as defense secretary at the end of February. Rats. Ship of State. Syria TrumpRussia FollowTheMoney

Time to invoke the 25th Amendment for realDonaldTrump to save our country and the democratic institutions we hold dear. 25thAmendmentNow

Jesus. Now we really are screwed. I think Mattis was about the only level headed one in the conversation.

Trump withdrawing US from Syria and considering the same in Afghanistan. Russia is very pleased with the move. Almost like POTUS is tossing a bone to Putin since he hasn’t been able to get rid of sanctions.

President Trump also announced that he will be debuting his 'Trump Administration Version 4.0' in late January!

We are screwed! 🤤🤤🤤

Why would anyone in their right mind stay?

Mick Mulvaney seen as likely replacement....

Let’s hope Mattis goes “rogue” DumpTrump TrumpShutdown DirtyDeeds

Trump is doing more damage to the White House than the British did 204 years ago.

You wonder if the commander in chief consults his defense minister.
