Mattis rules out run for president: ‘Like a five-year jail sentence’

Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis did not have much to say about President Trump during a wide-ranging interview with CBS Sunday Morning, but did warn the president is “unusual” and warned against the “rabid nature of politics.”

Mattis also said he has no desire to run for president, despite many people wanting him to. Describing a campaign and presidency to one man at his favorite bar in Washington state, he said, “Terry, it would be like a five-year jail sentence.”
