Trump on Mattis: “I gave him a second chance.”
No, @realDonaldTrump, you gave him nothing. You had nothing to give this man who had served us so long and so well. It was Jim Mattis who gave you a chance to rise to the responsibilities of office. It is a chance you have failed.

.@JoshNBCNews@ckubeNBC report Trump had @secPompeo call #Mattis today to say he’s out by end of year instead of staying to insure smooth transition. Means Trump will have acting heads at DOD, DOJ, EPA & Chief of Staff. No replacement for Zinke. No Deputy at DHS,
