NEW YORK — Former Defense Secretary James Mattis hit back at his old boss at a white-tie gala in New York on Thursday, saying that he's not just an overrated general, he's the greatest overrated general.
"I'm honored to be considered that by Donald Trump because he also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress," he joked."So I guess I'm the Meryl Streep of generals and frankly that sounds pretty good to me, and you do have to admit between me and Meryl, at least we've had some victories." Since then, he has largely refrained from criticizing the administration publicly, saying he owed the commander in chief"a duty of silence."
"Some of you were kind during the reception and asked me if this bothered me to have been rated this way based on what Donald Trump said," he said."I said of course not. I earned my spurs on the battlefield ... And Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor."

And they laughed and partied as the republic burnt to the ground...
A true patriot would testify to what he knows. The insulting jokes are funny, but jokes don’t stand up in an impeachment trial.
Be a true hero General Mattis! Blow that whistle!
Don’t forget this line — “I got my spurs on the ground fighting for the United States. realDonaldTrump got his spurs from a doctor’s note that got him out of serving this country!” Mic drop!
He also said the only member of the military that trump doesn't think is underrated is colonel Sanders 🤣

Trump calls Mattis ‘the world’s most overrated general’ in meeting on SyriaThere were fireworks at the White House today from of a meeting on Syria after the president insulted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling her a 'third-rate politician.” He also went after his former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis for his comments that ISIS would re-surge if the US fails to keep the pressure on. Trump called Mattis, 'the world's most overrated general.' Impressive presidential leadership. He's the last person ON EARTH whose opinion matters about a man who served his country. TRUMP IS A COWARD 😂😜🤪😡 I think I remember him announcing Mattis was his nominee for Defense at a rally & was surprised at the huge response by the people behind him. Some of them were so excited with the news - you could see them fist pumping in the air & saying “YES!” Wonder how they’re feeling now.🤷♀️
