NEW YORK: Former US defense secretary James Mattis said he was honored to be the "world's most overrated general" in a swipe at his former boss Donald Trump who insulted him earlier this week.
At a gala charity dinner in New York Thursday evening, Mattis told diners he had now "achieved greatness"."I'm not just an overrated general. I am the greatest, the world''s most overrated.
I'm honored to be considered that by Donald Trump because he also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress.
So I guess I'm the Meryl Streep of generals, and frankly that sounds pretty good to me, he said to laughter and applause at the annual Alfred E Smith Memorial Foundation dinner.
