According to a new book by Washington Post’s Bob Woodward, former Defense Secretary James Mattis warned top United States intelligence official that they may need to take “collective action” against President Donald Trump's "dangerous" behavior.
In the book, which is titled Rage, Woodward talks about James Mattis and ex-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats. He claims that Mattis was concerned with Trump's leadership in 2017 amid the standoff with North Korea and it's missile testing.
Mattis quietly went to Washington National Cathedral to pray about his concern for the nation’s fate under Trump’s command and, according to Woodward, told Coats, “There may come a time when we have to take collective action” since Trump is “dangerous. He’s unfit.”
In a separate conversation recounted by Woodward, Mattis told Coats, “The president has no moral compass,” to which the director of national intelligence replied: “True. To him, a lie is not a lie. It’s just what he thinks. He doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie.”
The revelations regarding Mattis’s suggestion to Coats of taking “collective action” against Trump quickly drew attention on social media, with some comparing the discussion to “spit-balling a presidential coup.”
Although the context of Mattis’s discussion with Coats is still unclear, the former defense official has increasingly become an opponent of his one-time White House boss. Since leaving the administration in January 2019, Mattis has lambasted the president over disagreements on both foreign policy and domestic affairs.
