Trump doesn’t listen to Mattis anymore, say officials

...

Trump repeatedly said he wanted to sign an order changing the policy on military dependents in South Korea, but Mattis and other officials, including Kelly, tried to stall him, according to three former officials. "It was kind of like a game of tag. There were plenty of other people, in addition to Mattis, who slow-walked that," the former official said. The order was never implemented.

"He knows that he told them to do it and they didn't do it," another former senior White House official said.

This official said taken individually each of these things was a "low-grade annoyance" for Trump. "But cumulatively they've begun to add up," the official said.

This could be fake news in full or part but still worth a read, imho.

There has been an attempt to drive a wedge between Trump and every person around him so I take this with a big grain of salt.

Mattis also did not implement Trump's will on transgenders in the military. Allowing transgenders to
serve is PC insanity. Mattis needs to go. Also lowering standards so the girls can serve in combat MOSs is similarly insane.

Yet another "unnamed source" report without attribution, designed to promote the narrative of discord and division within the Administration.

With the wealth of positive news that could be reported on this administration the media has gone all negative, all the time.

And to think I once thought journalism was a noble profession, so much that I pursued an undergraduate degree in journalism. Now a worthless piece of paper sitting in a box somewhere.

Hit the nail on the head.  The media does it constantly.
