"Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ resignation, which shocked Washington’s national security establishment and rattled America’s allies, was sealed in a fateful 18-hour period that saw President Trump resolve to withdraw troops from Syria – alarming Pentagon officials who see America’s role in the region as crucial." foxnews.com/politics/behind-the-scenes-of-the-mattis-bombshell-more-resignations-expected-after-protest-exit

    They say immediate, we're not doing immediate. We're doing slow. I campaigned on getting out of Syria and other places. Now when I start getting out, the Fake News Media, or some failed Generals who were unable to do the job before I arrived, like to complain about me & my tactics, which are working. ISIS is mostly gone, we’re slowly sending our troops back home to be with their families, while at the same time fighting ISIS remnants. Just doing what I said I was going to do!

    And by the way, thanks to General Kelly. In order to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest -- General Kelly is a tough, strong, four-star Marine. And a very elegant man. Who's done a very nice job. Good work. Like when he fired that dog Omarosa. When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out.

    John is a Great American and a Great Leader. He also did a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration.

    But, all good things come to an end. As the great Pete Rose said. And for John and I it came to an end when I said, let's pull our brave soldiers out of Syria. And out of Afghanistan. Thousands of our guys -- and so many gorgeous Woman Soldiers too. Something I'd been wanting to do for a long time. And something the American people elected me to do. But John said, "oh, don't pull out too quickly, you might make a mess." Who wants to hear that, right? So I was very happy to get his Letter of Resignation. And hopefully Wednesday is his last day. Bye bye!!!
