Mattis Slaps Down MSNBC On NATO: Uh, It's Stronger Under Trump

If there’s one thing the liberal media likes to do, it’s to take those who were formerly with the Trump administration and try and bait them into bashing the White House. Anthony Scaramucci is probably the latest senior former official who has turned against Trump. Nothing gets headlines like intra-Trump White House drama, though that’s standard with any administration; palace intrigue is newsworthy. Just ask Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

But then there’s Mad Dog Mattis. General Jim Mattis, the former secretary of defense and commander of U.S. Central Command, resigned from the Trump administration, wrote a book, and went on MSNBC to talk about it. And MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell was waiting with the chum bucket to bait Mattis into torching his former boss during her September 5 broadcast, especially on NATO. Apparently, on the Left, having NATO members paying their fair share weakens this agreement, calling them out for not paying their fair share in dues is also insulting or something. Mattis quickly ended the narrative in that line of questioning (via Free Beacon):
