President Trump fired the disloyal Defense Secretary Mark Esper and put Christopher Miller in his position.
Pentagon Chief Esper was rumored to have prepared a letter of resignation, according to three current defense officials, NBC News reported. President Trump beat him to it, if the rumor is true.
Esper publicly criticized and countered Donald Trump’s actions to attempt to stop the riots in DC. he condemned the President’s threats of using military — namely the National Guard.
In opposition to President Trump’s wishes, Esper is helping members of Congress draft legislation that will strip names of Confederate leaders from military bases.
While Esper considered issuing a directive that would order the secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to change the names in their respective services — an order that could be overturned by Trump, who has strongly opposed renaming bases — he now plans to work with Congress to put language in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, so the name changes will be written into law.
He betrayed his boss.
…Chris will do a GREAT job! Mark Esper has been terminated. I would like to thank him for his service.

Trump is an idiot. Here is the readers digest version. 1. )Trump intimidates or disturbs Mark T. Esper on the city street riots when live ammunition and over powering was used to keep Black Live Matters protesters at bay. 2.) Trump displays how dangerous he wants to play with citizens, and Mark Esper declares him not safe. 3.) Trump orders him to send troops across the Atlantic to Europe, to take care of Nuclear Deterrence and talk about nuclear options. 4.) Mark T. Esper doesn’t listen to someone who doesn’t have regard for their own life and doesn’t even wear a mask little less wants to increase nuclear awareness in Europe when they are fighting for their lives. 5.) Trump is an idiot forget about him.
Bill Barr will be next，Trump can put Utah Attorney Lin Wood in his position
This is a primary reason Trump really needed and needs to be re-elected. If Biden takes over then we will never have any chance of an “honest” Government. It is only in a second term that significant changes could be made. The President’s proposal for Executive reorganization he laid out years ago was a recipe for effective Government. The streamlined approach is something Republicans had been demanded for decades, yet they never even considered it. A second term would have made it more possible, if not likely. It will be a sad day for America if we cannot change course from an increasing downward spiral.
That’s great news! Esper was a corrupt military lobbyist. He never looked sincere.
I hope next Wray and Barr are fired. Let the firings begin.
Good job although a little late.
The President probably had to get Jared’s approval to fire Wray….
