Insiders say President Trump considering replacing Defense Secretary James Mattis (pictured) with a more vocal supporter following the midterm elections

President Donald Trump is thinking about firing Defense Secretary James Mattis following the midterm elections, insiders have revealed.  

Citing information from several anonymous Department of Defense officials, the New York Times on Saturday described the deteriorating relationship between Trump and the former Marine general.

The officials claimed that the president is frustrated by the fact that Mattis has frequently been described as the Trump administration's 'adult in the room'. 

They also said Trump has expressed fears that Mattis is a Democrat 'at heart' and noted how he recently changed the defense secretary's nickname from 'Mad Dog' - which Mattis despises - to 'Moderate Dog'.

According to the report, Mattis' days in the White House are numbered as Trump looks to replace him with a more vocal supporter. 

Possible replacements include Republican senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina - both of whom have signaled they have no interest in the job.

The Times paints a picture of the cordial relationship Trump and Mattis shared toward the beginning of the president's term, writing about the hamburger dinners they used to share when taking a break from White House business. 

Officials say the discontinuation of those dinners is just one sign of a growing rift.

Trump and Mattis have allegedly had heated disagreements over multiple policy issues as well, including the Iran nuclear deal, NATO strategy, military exercises in South Korea and banning transgender people from serving in the military. 

Tensions between the pair escalated following the release of Bob Woodward's bombshell book 'Fear' last week, which quotes Mattis comparing Trump to a child.

Woodward writes that the defense secretary had told colleagues Trump was acting like a 'fifth or sixth grader' during during a nuclear standoff with North Korea last January. 

Mattis denied ever having made the remark. 

The senior official has also repeatedly denied allegations that he is the author of last week's explosive New York Times op-ed detailing discord within the White House.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
