“Welcome To Democracy” SecDef Mattis Confirms Military Steadfast Amid White House Chaos

Amid implicit acknowledgement of turmoil in The White House, Trump’s Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reassured the world that the US military was “not in disarray”, but was “holding the line” as government “sorts out the way ahead.”
After shrugging off President Trump’s ‘media as enemy’ narrative:
“[I’ve had] some rather contentious times with the press [but the press is] a constituency that we deal with…. I don’t have any issues with the press myself.“
The Defense Secretary said Sunday, according to The Washington Post, that he has been talking with a ‘fair number of military commanders around the world’ and acknowledged the chaotic nature of Trump’s administration so far.
