James Mattis: Duty, Honor…Country

General James Mattis has written a book. Who hasn’t at this point concerning the people who have served in the Trump administration?

I’ve ordered the book, but won’t read it until this winter. So this isn’t a book review.

I actually like Mattis because he’s a voracious reader and is someone I’d love to talk to about his place in contemporary history. How odd an empty vessel like Donald Trump ever had James Mattis as his Secretary of Defense. Mattis has a library of over 7,000 books. Donald Trump reads the National Enquirer and watches Fox Network. I think right there you have why this didn’t work out with these two men.

Since I haven’t read the book just yet, I’ll stop here and revisit this in a couple of months on my blog.

We can be sure of one person who won’t read the book…Donald Trump. He doesn’t read books. He watches cable news shows. Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon steer his course. He follows his polls to make sure his racist base still has his back. He envies Obama. If only Trump could become Obama.

Obama reads books and writes book. Michelle wrote a NY Times bestseller. Trump doesn’t read books on the NY Times list. If only Donald Trump could read and attain an approval rating of 97% it would be the presidency he thought it would be. Maybe more than just David Duke and the fringe right groups would wear his ball caps. If only his followers could read and explore their own views on the world.

The Obamas are adored world wide and are now making films. Donald Trump dreams of being urinated on in the Obama’s Moscow hotel room bed and hanging with women named Stormy and Pascha.

The empty vessel Trump like his followers in Oklahoma, Mississippi, West Virginia and those in the twenty-one states in our country’s bottom half don’t read books. They attend Trump rallies and rely on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to tell them what to think.

This is why James Mattis resigned. He was a thinking man’s general who was working for a non- reading non-thinking president.

There—I said it for him and since I’m not in the military I didn’t violate the code of duty, honor… country.
