One would think that any adult who rages after every single person that says something negative about him would be mocked by every corner of society, and Trump comes close.

Additionally, one of the weirdest things of Trump’s insecurity is the need to lash out and rip the reputation of people he hired without recognizing the atrocious cognitive dissonance in it. Today it was General Mattis’s turn, again.

Ha ha. Yes, coy Donald doesn’t usually “tell tales” so he’ll hold off for now and wait to tell the “real story” someday. He doesn’t have a real story. He has to make one up, or have one made up for him.

Mattis was our Country’s most overrated General. He talked a lot, but never “brought home the bacon.” He was terrible! Someday I will tell the real story on him and others – both good and bad! https://t.co/WgAQMkfgvr

We don’t know a lot about the military here, most of us weren’t brave enough to serve and we can admit it. We appreciate the people that did and do serve. However, one of the few things we do know about the military is that soldiers themselves know the great soldiers and the great leaders among them. One cannot “fool” his way up the ladder and become a general officer. Additionally, not all generals are created equal. Mattis is the most revered living general in the armed services. Soldiers, and Marines, the ones that do the fighting and the sacrifice, they are the ones who say that Mattis is great.

Trump isn’t fit to carry Mattis’s luggage.

It is also just mind-scrambling to see Trump retweeting Sebastian Gorka the soft, out of shape, self-proclaimed alpha-male, believing he is in a position to tell people who is or isn’t a “real Marine,” and that Mattis isn’t a “real marine.”

Is it not odd that Trump and Gorka are ripping a person as “overrated” and a “fake marine,” when it was Trump – with Gorka as an adviser – that asked Mattis to be secretary of defense?

Maybe all this revised history has something to do with what Mattis wrote about Trump?

“We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership,” he continued. “We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”

Yep. That sounds like something that would get one declared “overrated” and someone lacking the ability to “bring home the bacon.”

What an embarrassment.
