Donald Trump attacked Jim Mattis saying: “Happy, he’s gone!”.
Washington:
President Donald Trump responded to former Defense Secretary James Mattis on Wednesday after he was reprimanded for his leadership as President of the United States.
Trump also called Mattis the “ most overvalued general ”.
“Probably the only thing Barack Obama and I have in common is that we both had the honor of removing Jim Mattis, the most overvalued general in the world. I asked for his resignation letter and I felt great “President Trump tweeted.
“… His main strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him new life, things to do and battles to win, but he rarely ‘brought the bacon home. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or anything else about him, and many others agree. Glad he left! ” he added.

Trump’s remark came after former US Secretary of Defense criticized the President on Wednesday for saying that he is “the first president in my life who has not tried to unite the American people.”
“Donald Trump is the first president in my life who doesn’t try to unite the American people – doesn’t even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” said CNN-quoted Mattis.
“We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without it, building on the forces inherent in our civil society,” he said. he adds.
