Jim Mattis’ blistering criticisms amount to an exclamation point on a brutal week of tension between Donald Trump and his party. Yet the president's GOP firewall still seems largely secure
For years, Republicans leaned on Mattis’ steadying leadership as reason to be confident in the Trump administration. Former Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker once said Mattis was among the Trump officials who “help separate our country from chaos.”
“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try,” Mattis wrote. “Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership.”
On Thursday, some Republicans offered mild criticisms of the president’s handling of the protests that have engulfed the nation in recent days — from his hard-line rhetoric to his decision to clear out protesters for a photo-op on Monday night.
