Woodward: Mattis’ Mom Asks Him ‘How Can You Work For This Man?’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Trump is dangerous to the Deep State, crooked federal department heads, and politicians of the swamp. The louder the warnings of the bias main stream media, the more democrats are walking away. Russiagate is watergate in reverse. The deep state tried to frame Trump with lies just look at Madow’s ratings. Down, down, down…
GRAL. MATTIS. GLAD U LISTEN TO YOUR MAMA 🙂 MAMA KNOWS BEST. PROUD OF U.
Ex. ARMY. AIRBORNE LRS. UNIT. 11B.
Mattis does appear to be a momma’s boy.
They ignored McRaven because they have no honor! No ethics! No morals!
You mean, why don’t they step it up and say something about a “cruel, evil, and unstable president of the U.S.”? The man is on a revenge war with the U.S. I can see it in his eyes, he is thinking “so all of you hate me, the base is a bunch of losers so who cares, I am going to destroy all of you and laugh doing it.” That is what he is thinking! Trust me, we must ruin this man.
Trump speaks through action not lip service or lame promises. By shutting down travel to & from China, schools, and unessential work, Trump spoke volumes as to the seriousness of Covid. He walked this tightrope without causing hysteria. Trump handled Kim perfectly as Kim now respects the US,Trump, and is no longer threatening war. A surgeon knows how to cut out a tumor, Mattis knows how to wage war, & Trump knows how to win peace.
History will not be kind!
It’s disgusting that he is still in office ….what is wrong America, that no one is saying anything…completely disgusting to let this go on!
Mattis joined the Administration because of a “Constitutional Obligation”, while at the same time, his boss, (Trump) has no repspect for that very same Constitution… how does THAT work?
Trump’s mom child proofed the house and he still got in.
Trump is dumb enough to believe that Putin is on his side? Putin will destroy him at the first opportunity.
The great USA – you are all a joke. Just talk and do nothing
Maybe someone should tell Trump he’s not only selling the US to Russia but Putin will be the first to destroy Trump!
And that’s why Russia wants Trump to win. Putin sees right through Trump. He knows he’s insecure, craves adoration and is a simpleton. GOOD LORD PEOPLE, RUSSIA WANTS TRUMP TO WIN! This alone should scare the sh*t out of us.
TRUMP COMPARES HIM SELF TO FDR AND CHURCHILL…..WOW!!!!
The whole world knew about COVID-19. How did Americans stay in a vacuum or a bubble and not research other countries and see what they were doing? They listened to orange combover guy.
The great general mattis won what war? I forget.
I do know he voted hillary.
Kruschev said it and putin made it a reality.
trump is a russian asset actively destroying our country.
Narcissists need to belittle others. It’s a classic trait.
I dont understand how ANYONE could work for the orangeblossum.
To not stand up for what’s right because of a fear of the reception or outcome is the very definition of cowardice.
Now people learn that not anybody can be a president.
With the Coronavirus, Trump CHOSE as the best choice to put American LIVES AT RISK with misinformation. Said conduct speaks to his abilities, his competencies, his values and his priorities. Biden/Harris 2020!!! VOTE!!!
He doesn’t love his country that’s why.
Trump is described as “DANGEROUS, UNFIT, DUMB AS A ROCK”… I am not surprised Trump has reportedly had SIX BANKRUPTICES. He is taking our country in the same direction… I agree with Senator Harris that he drives everything he inherits into the ground. WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT IS… Biden/Harris 2020…
I don’t like any of these generals they all got no balls they ain’t real generals they cover up for tRump if they cared they speak out loud come on if they were doing this for their country tell the people the truth speak generals
the very stable genius will never be half the man those two military men are.
What happened to McRaven when he stood up to Trump? I can’t find anything about that anywhere?
GENERAL……YOU BETTER LISTEN TO YOUR MOMMA !!!!!
Churchill created, wrote the policy for and headed the Black and Tans. He murdered and ran pograms on those from your own Irish heritage…You should know better Mr Barnicle while glorifying a murderer of Irish men and women. Churchill deserves to be lumped in with our donkey president.
Right now, today, knowing what 45 knew about COVID, seems not to matter. We are very close to nihilism as a society.
A dog dead a week had more sense than Coats and Mattis to get involved with Trump. One doesn’t advise Trump one struggles to REASON with him
Isolation against our allies… that’s correct! Coveting the dictatorship positions of our enemies instead. If in need.. who is going to stand beside American soldiers? Those that DT has insulted, belittled, tearing families apart? Canada Mexico the UK Germany Norway France Australia New Zealand all the “$hit” countries… am I forgetting anyone? Terrifying!
It was all about power. Republicans were thinking they could manage this sociopath. Megalomania cannot be managed, it can only be cut off at the knees before it takes hold, or left to its own self destructive impulses until it cuts it’s own head off.
Somebody must have gotten to Joe so he’d shut up and let Woodward speak without interruption. The show is hard to watch when Joe interrupts everyone, especially Mika.
Even Pence’s wife, whom he calls ‘mother” , has nothing but contempt for Drumpf. Maybe Pence is thinking of a Gerald Ford-like end to his mediocre career.
The fact is
You have to be in the situation
It’s easy to criticize and analyze it from the outside, not having some skin in the game.
Q
Momma’s boy? Fits.
SHAME ON MATTIS’ MOM!
Calling Trump a “man”….
He is no man,
he is but a disgusting turd.
