Trump says retired Marine Gen. James Mattis is his pick to lead the Pentagon

President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he has chosen retired Marine Gen. James Mattis, who has said that responding to "political Islam" is the major security issue facing the United States, to be secretary of defense.

"We are going to appoint Mad Dog Mattis as our secretary of defense," Trump told a rally in Cincinnati, the first stop on a post-election "thank-you tour."

Trump joked that the media and audience should keep the news to themselves. "We are going to be announcing him Monday of next week," Trump said. "Keep it inside the room."
