DumpTrump

😂 that’s just weakness of the man!!! To face the truth and fix the problem vs firing people!!!

It's too bad you are not man enough mr president to absorb comments that are the truth. It's not always fun to take the criticism, but, you can always hope you learn from. So now you are on your own.

Trump is a sicko .. We need the 25th.

Peace

Barnes_Law Lol

Booted out by two presidents lol.

Every Civilization has a weakness, which, in the end, leads it over the cliff. We've found OURS.

He was good Defense Secretary but we need some money for the wall cuz looks like democrats lost their minds. I’m immigrant myself and I’m for the wall and rule of law in US. No laws or borders best atmosphere for outlaws.

Et tu , Mad Dog?

Barnes_Law Right call by Trump.

Big mistake to lose him.

trump is not making this decision in the best interests of the nation but rather because he is mad and embarrassed by Mattis’s resignation statement. Petulant Chief-in-Charge

The Mattis resignation letter wrongly equates troop withdraw with failure of obligations to allies. IMO long-term occupation and protracted military operations are more costly and less effective than short term deployment with specific objectives and exit. Repeat as needed.

Barnes_Law You don’t screw Trump and not get punched back... Mattis’ resignation letter was a classless attack on his boss, so Trump told him to get out —NOW— on Trump’s terms, not Mattis’

YAY! Just like Mattis got fired by Obama. Dont let the door hit u on the way out. We regular folks out here are sick of endless wars/engagement

Maybe when RealDonaldTrump start WWIII, & Russia’s nuclear warheads are falling on USA’s head America will take trump seriously trumpresign

Mattis wants out so he should go now. No need to wait.

Obama fired Mattis & president Trump gave him another opportunity. Time for someone new!

Good

so he’s having him leave early so he can say he made the decisions concerning him 😱ego

This fantasy he sold the voters, that he was going to surround himself with only the best people was a lie. His goal is to fill his cabinet with yes men to fulfill is own private agendas.

Temper tantrum. Heard he also stamped his feet and went “ wah wah wah”

Really? Which one of them is the fake news? We are now very confused

Disappointment. Unfortunately this happens 👇

Fake news. Mattis resigned.

Another misdirected attempt to think 🤔 of others

The man is a fool! TrumpResign

And who did not see that coming. Nobody finishes out there notice. Trump just needs to keep himself at top of news. Bush dying must have killed him. Bush was revered that week. Trump is revolting the rest of the time.

Trump looks like a butt!!😂

Oh? So in government? All people do not agree? Wow. Let’s go back in time when all in government Agreed.

His FAILED attempt to control the narrative...... WAKE UP America!!!!!!

Actually a smart move by Donald. 25A has to be being discussed. Mattis would be on board and getting him out quickly would be important. Donald is petrified now and trusts no one. ResignTrump TrumpResign That’s Mueller over your shoulder...

Running him off that’s not good for business.

Good... Cant happen soon enough... Then im sure we will see his sorry ass on CNN bashing Trump....
