Ontslagen Witte Huis

December 21, 2018 - Jim Mattis, de Amerikaanse minister van defensie, is het vierde lid van Trumps kabinet dat in minder dan twee weken ontslag neemt of ontslagen wordt en het 40e belangrijke vertrek sinds Michael Flynn, de adviseur nationale veiligheid, gedwongen het veld ruimde, 25 dagen na de inauguratie van president Trump.

Mattis, who espoused America’s traditional global alliances has generally been referred to as one of the three adults in the chaotic Trump administration, the others being White House chief of staff John Kelly and then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Trump ousted Tillerson publicly on Twitter on March 13. While Kelly was hired to bring order to the Oval Office, the retired Marine ultimately found Trump was uncontrollable. Kelly resigned on December 8.
