Mattis will put up with any and all Trump antics including treason (and the cabinet blowfest) as long as he is able to serve his real loyalty which is the Military-Industrial Complex.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Drumpf.
I just want to know if he knows now that we have a base there.
It’s almost as if Mattis is ignoring Don the Con to save his own neck.
How will Spicer or Spicer’s stand-in spin this one?
It will come back to haunt him. The military is a pretty close-knit group and Mattis’ legacy will take a beating for his fealty to Trump. He also is at risk being set up to take the fall for Afghanistan when more troops fails to solve the problem there once again.
why do i feel this isn’t the first time trump has abused someone and then given them an extravagant gift to keep them around.
someone get melania on the phone.
Mattis is ignoring Trump and serving his real master: the US Armament Industry
Sounds like another Donnie TV show featuring Donnie “Horshack” Drumpf…
Welcome Back Qatar…
Well this is one instance where the Obama Administration made a commitment that Trump is unwilling to pull away. I’m surprised. This would have been perfect for Donald. Declare Qatar supports terrorists, then state Obama knew it all along, then declare the sale is being pulled. Donald Trump once again saved the day.
Mattis Signs $12 Billion F-15 Sale To Qatar, Which Trump Blamed For Terror
…
Well now… that makes sense…I guess.
(lays head on desk)
Mattis, unlike Drumpf, knows that the largest and most profitable export from the US is war. War is so essential to our economy that a main part of the Defense Dept’s mission is to destabilize entire regions of the globe in order to ensure the constant need for massive military spending programs. Of course, in order to justify the US forays into sovereign nations, fabricated events will be reported (just like the Gulf of Tonkin back in LBJ’s day in Vietnam). Not long ago, a poll was conducted wherein many nations were asked what/who is the greatest threat to world peace; the nearly-unanimous answer: The USA.
There quid pro quo here…what did trump offer to Mattis in exchange for his personal fealty?
Good to know everyone is on the same page.
More seriously, it really is starting to look like the way people act when they know the boss is seriously mentally failing. They just tell him what he wants to hear, ignore what he says, and do what they think is best – knowing he will be happy as long as they keep publicly kissing his ass.
“Do we take the easy road or do we finally take a hard but necessary action?”
So…“easy road” then?
The idea here is to make trump a figurehead with the levers of power removed to the Dept. heads in the cabinet. And hopefully trump gets to play with a fake nuclear football.
edit
It’s gonna be this way until he’s impeached and convicted or he resigns. The writing is on the wall for him to see.
To be fair, in the Cabinet Blowfest (good term), Mattis didn’t praise Trump but instead talked about what a privilege it is to serve the men and women in uniform. Close enough to make an idiot like Trump happy, but didn’t actually go full on “Dear Leader.”
You are not paying attention, he pretends to serve Trump. He serves the Military-Industrial complex, his true and only master.
Emir coincidence?
