“Our strength as a nation is inextricably linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships. We must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this effort by the solidarity of our alliances. We must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours.”

Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position.”

James Mattis


In other words, Trump shares none of these views. Alliances, security, prosperity, values and strength are all deteriorating under Trump. Trump waffles on serious issues daily, is ambiguous and flighty.


How many people close to Trump, that have since described his incompetence, do you have to hear in order to believe? How long will you follow a false leader that lies with every breath? What will it take to break your delusion that Trump is doing a good job?

But, yes, the title should be edited.
At this point, I don't believe a word Trump says. The man simply is unable to tell the truth.

Whether he can even recognize the truth is a matter of speculation.

Losing 80% of your cabinet, even some positions twice, is COMPLETELY normal for the first two years of a presidency. Nothing to see here.

Seems I was right. He walked because of Trump surrendered Syria.

Putin likes his decision I wonder about Iran. I hope some thought went into this, pretty complicated with the Kurds, Turks, Russians, Iran and ISIS. I haven't heard if Bolton or Pompeo agree with this.

Pompeo claiming the U.S. made the caliphate in Syria "go away."

Can't find anything yet from Bolton.
