Amid nationwide protests since George Floyd’s death, President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a comment critical of former Defense Secretary James Mattis hours after Mattis accused the president of trying to divide the American people.
“Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General,” Trump wrote on Twitter late Wednesday. “I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was ‘Chaos,’ which I didn’t like, & changed to ‘Mad Dog.’”
