Don’t know what to think. So commander-in-chief doesn’t REALLY mean commander-in-chief?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7720027/Eddie-Gallagher-accuses-Navy-officials-trying-revoke-SEAL-status-retaliation-against-Trump.html

Trump backs down and says he WON’T stop disciplinary process for SEAL Eddie Gallagher after Navy secretary and head of elite unit threatened to resign as the soldier attacks them and says he has evidence they ‘meddled’ in his case

The White House reportedly informed the Navy that President Donald Trump would not interfere with the review of Eddie Gallagher’s SEAL status on Friday

The green light came the day after Trump tweeted that the Navy ‘will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin’

Does President Trump know that the White House says he won’t stop the disciplinary process? I think the only people in that WH that are trustworthy are Trumps and anyone Q told us to trust. Everyone else is suspect. IMHO

President Trump was right on the issue, as usual; HOWEVER, there is also a legitimate concern about micromanagement of a huge organization (the military) which has to be balanced.

Navy Secretary Spencer (appointed by Trump) is wobbly, but I am hoping they will finally get this right.

After all, Gallagher was ACQUITTED of the primary charge (murder), and punishing him for the photo appears to be just prosecutorial sour grapes.

I think it is deal making; act like you want something bad and make a deal to give it up and get something you want in exchange. I dunno - but POTUS is THE DEALMAKER of the century! :D
