General Mattis; We Could Tear USA Apart

General “Mad Dog” Mattis used to work for President Trump. 

***************************

A companion concern that Mattis has expressed, sometimes obliquely, is that the political climate in which Trump was elected in 2016 has grown even more divisive, to the point of endangering the future of what Mattis likes to call America’s experiment in democracy.

“We all know we’re better than our current politics,” he wrote in an essay for The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. “Tribalism must not be allowed to destroy our experiment.”

Thus, Mattis is sticking with his favorite understated description of a president who defies convention, sows confusion and sometimes abandons truth.

“He’s an unusual president, our president is,” Mattis told correspondent David Martin in an interview for “CBS Sunday Morning.” ″And I think that especially with the -- just the rabid nature of politics today we’ve got to be careful. We could tear this country apart.”
