Can’t the president appoint an ACTING defense secretary without Senate confirmation?

Esper is daring Trump to fire him. Which means he is completely in on the coup now.

No doubt. Trump will deal with it in his timetable.

You either want soldiers or you don’t want soldiers. If you don’t want them, don’t call them. Let them stay in their home towns to shoot looters at their local businesses (on their own time, as a public service) if they aren’t going to do their job in DC.

Sorry to say, Trump often seems to be the first to blink, after first blustering about a person or issue.

Name some blinks?

“Why does Trump hire these people”

Because he’s in over his head.

No, because Mitch won’t give him the people he wants.

You are in over your head, even among us, here, little one.

How is POTUS to get a new SecDef without the support of his own party? The GOP Senate is currently blocking two of his national security nominees during a National Emergency. You’re quick to criticize and micro manage President Trump but silent on the GOP’s participation in this ongoing coup. Why?
