Filmmaker Michael Moore appeared on MSNBC to react to the chaos in the White House saying why he thinks Defense Secretary James Mattis actually should have stayed in the cabinet for the sake of America’s military. Here’s more of what he said:
“What you have now with Mattis leaving means Trump is going to put in the person that agrees with him and is going to be his dog. He’s going to do what he tells him to do. We have an autocrat in the White House. Any time you have an autocrat, what do they want running the military. The person that’s going to do what they tell them to do. We are now with Mattis leaving closer to Trump starting a war.
Just as he’s proven with the two Attorney Generals that he’s announced since Jeff Sessions, he will find the person who is going to be on his page and does what he tells them to do. And when that means he wakes up some morning and decides to go to war with somebody because he’s so random about his behavior, that’s how he does things. We’re going to have a defense secretary that’s going to go, yes, boss. And that makes it dangerous for all of us and for the world.”
