Trump: Mattis out as Defense Secretary Jan. 1; deputy to be acting chief
WASHINGTON, D.C. --
President Donald Trump says Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will leave his post on Jan. 1. Trump announced Mattis' new departure date in a tweet, and said he's naming deputy defense chief Patrick Shanahan as acting secretary.
Seems to many of us that trump finally read or comprehended the letter which is why he now feels the need to get rid of Mattis before his departure date. What a small petty man trump is. Once again, trump does what’s best for his emotions and not what’s best for our country.

Once again for the one millionth time on DP Trump is bad, trump is petty, i don't like Trump....... Oh my?eace
Please tell me what is so wrong with Mattis staying until 2/28? Wouldn’t that make for a better transition overall? What is trump’s reasoning on this, other than to show Mattis who is boss?
Petty.

I don’t know what Trump’s motivations are, but it’s not Mattis’s choice on how long he gets to stay once he’s resigned. If he doesn’t support Trump’s decisions, why would Trump want to keep him around for two months?

Indeed trump loves firing people...trump thinks the US Military are his personal toy soldiers...To do as he pleases
Not sure if you ever had a job. When you quit the company makes the final decision as to when you leave.

So you "think" Trump is just being petty? Based on your dislike of him. Post #4 explains the deal....
Why not? Like I said, better transition. Trump seemed to be fine with it a few days ago, now he’s changing his tune. Wonder why.

The Secretary of Defense serves at the pleasure of the President. So yes, he can be fired whenever the President sees fit. Mattis understands how it works.
No idea, but he gets to make the call.
Sunday morning rant. More of post #4 they can not help themselves. :doh
You proud trump treats members of the Military like servants?...To be dismissed on a whim......
No one is debating that. But there’s no rhyme or reason to it, which is why I feel it looks petty. Mattis was willing & able to stay and help until the end of February. Trump clearly sees no need for it, and he wants to show Mattis he doesn’t need him until then. I don’t know why the rush. This is not some receptionist position for a 20 person company. Just makes no sense which is why I came to the conclusion I did.

Pride isn’t a factor in any of this. It’s how the system has always worked.
Nah, the system was to have a qualified President...Not some incompetent petty asshole...But his base of angry white people don't care...That is why Blue State America seeks to remove him....
