Mattis-Trump relationship put to the test by Woodward book

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Lawmakers and national security experts are questioning whether Defense Secretary James Mattis can maintain a strong relationship with President Trump in the wake of reports that the White House has looked for a successor to the Pentagon chief, and reporting in Bob Woodward's book of Mattis's frustrations with the president.

Mattis quickly put out a statement this past week describing Woodward's book as fiction and denying insults attributed to him regarding Trump. The president, for his part, publicly thanked Mattis for the “nicest quote about me,” signaling a deep appreciation for the Defense secretary's words.

“I did appreciate his statement,” Trump said. “He didn't have to write that statement. But I did appreciate it.”
But the public comments have not quelled concerns about possible friction between the two men.

“I’m worried every day, even before the book,” said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), when asked if he was concerned Woodward’s new book may damage Mattis’s standing with Trump.

1. If Mattis quits or is fired,be very afraid

I honestly believe he is the only one stopping trump from starting WW3/using Nuclear Weapons.
