Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense means business.
The recently retired General James Mattis didn’t get his nickname “Mad Dog” for beating around the bush. Much like Donald Trump, Mattis tells it like it is. Perhaps that’s why Trump was willing to nominate him to the Defense Secretary post despite the fact that he is technically ineligible. According to federal law, one cannot serve as the head of the Pentagon if he or she have served in the military in the past seven years. Mattis retired from his post in 2013.
Take a look at some of the generals previous quotes and you’ll see why Trump made the pick anyway — and why congress seems willing to make an exception for the impressive nominee. He’s tough as nails and has a quick and clever wit.
His best remarks range from comments on war protestors to woman beaters. See them on the next page:
He sounds like a sharp cookie. He also sounds like a man, not a wimp.
A great leader.
To be a marine you cannot be a liberal$#%&!@*
But is this who we want in charge of the military?
Idiot you dam right
The return of General Patton
Idiot there is a reason people like him have not been allowed to hold the job.
Protect us “Mad Dog”…
No miley we want people who need safe spaces & coloring books. You Doofus do you think war is fought by people with guns that have flowers in the barrel? Are you a fruit?
So glad to have real men leading our country
