"We are substantially subsidizing the Militaries of many VERY rich countries all over the world, while at the same time these countries take total advantage of the U.S., and our TAXPAYERS, on Trade," he noted. "General Mattis did not see this as a problem. I DO, and it is being fixed!"

This was not the first time he has complained about the media coverage of his decisions to leave Syria and let Mattis go ever after the latter's announced resignation.

He tweeted one day ago that "If anybody but your favorite President, Donald J. Trump, announced that, after decimating ISIS in Syria, we were going to bring our troops back home (happy & healthy), that person would be the most popular hero in America."

"With me, hit hard instead by the Fake News Media. Crazy!" he said.

Via tweets on Monday, Trump also lashed out at Brett McGurk, the U.S. envoy for the global coalition to defeat the Islamic State (IS), who resigned on Friday following Mattis' announcement to leave.

"For all of the sympathizers out there of Brett McGurk remember, he was the Obama appointee who was responsible for loading up airplanes with 1.8 Billion Dollars in CASH & sending it to Iran as part of the horrific Iran Nuclear Deal (now terminated) approved by Little Bob Corker," Trump said.

The past week has seen a series of the Trump administration's dramatic announcements in terms of military overseas and government leadership change.
