‘I WANT RESULTS’: President Trump Reviews Moderate Dog Mattis
In his first cabinet meeting of the new year, President Donald Trump slammed Jim Mattis, his former Secretary of Defense for his performance on the war in Afghanistan.
Mattis, a retired U.S. Marine general, resigned last month in protest following the president’s abrupt decision to remove all U.S. troops in Syria.
Mattis was supposed to stay on as head of the Pentagon until the end of February but was ultimately pushed out early by the president, with Patrick Shanahan, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, taking the helm at the Pentagon.
“I gave our generals all the money they wanted. They didn’t do such a great job in Afghanistan,” President Trump said Wednesday at the White House, arguing that U.S. military personnel should have let ISIS and the Taliban fight each other.

“I think I would have been a good general, but who knows?” the president wondered.
“Gen. Mattis was so thrilled, but what’s he done for me? What has he done in Afghanistan? Not too good,” he said, telling reporters that Mattis repeatedly thanked him for getting his department a budget of $700 billion for 2018 and $716 billion for 2019. “I’m not happy with what he’s done in Afghanistan, and I shouldn’t be happy.”
President Trump argued that former President Barack Obama fired Mattis for the same reason, in 2013, when he ran U.S. Central Command.
“I want results,” the president declared.
