CNN’s Jim Acosta reported tonight that Trump was less than happy with the letter:

“I’m told by a source close to the White House, an advisor who advises the President occasionally, that he hates that letter… from the Defense Secretary James Mattis, but that he ‘hates’ the coverage even more, because he does not like this conventional wisdom––and we heard about it all last night after the Defense Secretary’s letter was read publicly on the air––that essentially Jim Mattis, as well as other long-serving members of this administration, people who have been in Washington for a long time, people like chief of staff John Kelly and so on––that they were sort of the adults in the room… who were there to keep the President from going overboard.”

Acosta added more explicitly Trump is “irritated” that people feel he’s in need of “adult daycare.”
