I agree with his one statement consensus!

Personally, I think Trump surrounds himself with too many of these war-mongering fools.  Maybe there's a method to his madness.  I mean maybe Trump kept these guys just long enough to learn what he DOESN'T want for this country.  I was so proud of the way he just booted Mattis' ass right on out the door!!  Replaced him already and everything, although I'm not sure that was necessary.  We'll see what direction things take.
