    Gotta appreciate the pettiness of Mattis rebuking Trump in a letter that he knew he wouldn’t read or understand until the TV explained it to him days laterpic.twitter.com/948U18cbvR

        Its not pettiness. More people around the orange menace need to speak out & act.

        It definitely seemed to me that the reference to pettiness was sarcasm.

        Pettiness in attempting to explain his reasoning to the American people without resorting to insults or name-calling? I don’t get that.

        Let's face it. The #orange ignoramus probably never even read the letter. Can he read?
