Mattis is afraid for his job. He is so scared of Trumps insanity he feels he has to do anything to keep his job just to control the madman
The Pentagon chief has avoided the private snickering about Trump that has cost others but is featured in new Woodward book.
It's no secret that President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis often disagree, but the disciplined retired Marine general has kept any private frustrations from leaking into public view.
Or at least until Bob Woodward came along.
In his forthcoming book, the veteran investigative journalist reports that an exasperated Mattis, who has gone to great lengths to maintain his rapport with his commander-in-chief, unleashed on the president in a private conversation with associates, comparing Trump to a “fifth- or sixth-grader.”
The revelation puts Mattis in a hot seat similar to ones occupied by several other top Trump officials, including former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, former national security adviser H.R. McMaster and White House chief of staff John Kelly, who have all reportedly insulted Trump’s intelligence—and watched their relationship with the president suffer as a result.

Of course Mattis is going to deny he said Trump was a fifth grader
Trump was already getting tired of Mattis
Mattis is out of the loop and Trump doesn't listen to him, say officials

Don't you think Mattis in a state of anger could have said something bad about Trump?
If he did, I think he is man enough to admit it. He is not the type to lie, or hide from anything....just my opinion
