We still haven't figured out who wrote that NYT op-ed. Trump floated the idea last week that The Times perhaps made it up. “Let me tell you about leaks. I think a lot of leaks are not leaks, they’re made up by newspapers…. The media is very, very dishonest, beyond anything that anybody can understand. Now, even the letter written to the Times, there is a chance – I don’t say it’s a big chance – but there is a very good chance that it was written by the Times. […] “It could’ve been the New York Times wrote it, to be honest. They’re a very dishonest paper.” __________________________________________ I don’t say it’s a big chance – but there is a very good chance that it was written by the Times.
hehe...I suppose it could've been Mattis, but knowing how paranoid Trump is, suspicion would be enough to get him shitcanned.
General Mattis has done more for this country than trump and his family going back 10 generations. Trump is just an ungrateful fool.
Had it not been for those darned bone spurs, General Trump would've been the best general in the history of humanity. To surpass the likes of Alexander, Genghis Khan, and Julius Caesar.
Trump currently serves as Commander in Chief and outranks all the generals who report to him now. Yup, bone spurs and all. That's gotta be rough for ya.

National security leaders fear that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is on his way out — and that Donald Trump’s next Pentagon chief will be far more subservient to the president’s unilateral and bombastic whims. Mattis was instrumental in pulling back on Trump’s vow to “carpet bomb” ISIS or pull troops from Afghanistan. He moderated the U.S. military response to Syria’s use of chemical weapons and openly opposed Trump’s withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal.

"Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country," Mattis said in a statement. "This afternoon's assault on the US Capitol was appalling and un-American. This is not how citizens of the world's greatest and oldest democracy behave," Esper said in a separate statement. Other former senior defense officials also weighed in on the riots as well.
