General James Mattis is now the last man standing amongst the initial three forces top brass who felt it their patriotic duty to protect the nation from the president. McMaster is gone, Kelly is nearly gone; and Tillerson’s ‘moron’ moment saw him out the door.
However much Trump loves pomp, ceremony and military might, he constantly rejects advice from those who served. He’s ignored Mattis’s views against tearing up the Iran nuclear deal; pulling out of the Paris climate change accord; moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem; dealing with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un; banning transgender service personnel and sending the National Guard to the Mexican border.
Now Bob Woodward’s book quotes sources saying that Mattis regards Trump as having the knowledge of a “fifth or sixth grader” on matters of foreign affairs.
Mattis’s chart, 8 September 1950, is in terminal gloom ahead which may be because he’s staying or because he’s unlashing himself from the mast and watching aghast from afar. He looks undermined, aggravated, frustrated, really till late 2020. Though with one high spot from May 2019 onwards with tr Uranus conjunct his Jupiter/Uranus which will bring a huge sigh of relief. That runs into 2020 as well.
It also shows up in his relationship chart with Trump with tr Uranus square their composite Sun from May 2019, on and off till early 2020 – which could be a parting of the ways – from one side or the other. Even before then late November/early December this year looks irritated and chilly.
And his Swearing In chart, 20 January 2017 4.25pm is in a state of upheaval from mid September to mid October (and again early 2019) with tr Uranus square the Sun; and blocked this October with tr Saturn square the midheaven.
He’ll be on much better form in 2020/2021 with a successful tr Pluto trine his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint.
“Trump tells supporters it’ll be ‘your fault’ if he gets impeached.” The end is near…
Remember the photo of Trump surrounded by the military at the beginning of his presidency ?
What makes you think Kelly is on his way out ?
Is there is a Military Operation going on behind the scenes ? we may find out that Trump works for the Military they pull the strings ?
Why have Military intelligence moved into the DOJ ?
Why today in in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings did Lindsey Graham ask about Treason and how that affects US citizens ? Civil trials as opposed to Military trials ?
Today on CNN a Senator said flat out the John McCain ‘ was put to death ‘ a Freudian slip ?
We have had some big eclipses and what are they about Coverups ! There is a lot happening here and much to be revealed some of it very unpalatable to the public ?
Who is Robert Mueller working for ? I think we are in for a big surprise…
The problem with these Generals, even the best ones such as Mattis, is that they do not fully understand Civilian Organizations and Democracy. They are used to Military chain of command, where Generals having meltdowns can be dealt with the way they are trying to cope with Trump. But it simply does not work thus way with an elected representative of people, who still has support of the people.
After mere exerpts from Woodward book and an exceptionally selfserving NYT Op-Ed from “an adult in the room” I can tell the situation with Trump is just as horrible as I imagined. POTUS does not only show rampant narcissistic traits, but is in an obvious mental decline. This is not getting any better, and this raving lunatic should be 25th before he completely distroys the country “adults in the room” claim to protect.
Also, Mattis may not be as good as people think he is. He was in Theranos Board, after all. There were Theranos news yesterday, as well, as the company shut down. I’m not familiar on how California Law deals with Board duties, but here, he’d have legal liability for apparently failing his overseeing duties.
In the land of the blind even a one-eyed man is a help.
