The retired general also said a May tweet from Trump about North Korea and Joe Biden was 'counterproductive and beneath the dignity of the presidency.'
President Donald Trump's former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis suggested that he"may not like" his former boss"one fricking bit" in an interview published Thursday., Goldberg asked Mattis:"And don't you have a duty to warn the country if it is endangered by its leader?"
President Donald Trump speaks alongside Jim Mattis as he holds a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C. on December 6, 2017"If you leave an administration, you owe some silence," he stated."When you leave an administration over clear policy differences, you need to give the people who are still there as much opportunity as possible to defend the country."
The president's controversial tweet from May 25 said:"North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that's sending me a signal?"
