Trump Attacks James Mattis And “Little Bob Corker”

The Hill reports:



President Trump on Monday criticized outgoing Defense Secretary James Mattis, claiming he hasn’t done enough to address countries that “take total advantage of the U.S.” and U.S. taxpayers.

Mattis wrote in his resignation letter that the strength of the U.S. is “inextricably linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances.”

He added that the U.S. “cannot protect our interests” without “maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to those allies.”
