President Donald Trump has reportedly decided to replace Defense Secretary Mark Esper after this fall’s election.
In response, the Pentagon released a statement that Esper serves “at the pleasure of the president.”
NEW: Statement from Pentagon, on the news Trump wants Esper gone after election, notes Esper swore an oath as a West Point cadet 38 years ago and “continues that same commitment to duty, honor, and country today,” but recognizes he serves “at the pleasure of the president." pic.twitter.com/NZUIr38Qty — Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) August 12, 2020
Esper angered Trump last month, according to The New York Times, by breaking publicly with him over whether active-duty military troops should be sent to control protests in American cities.

Good! Trump’s next term is going to be filled with firings.
Trumps next term is going to be filled with firings.
And new hires.
Why wait that long ? As soon as the Democrats have conceded - which could take a couple of weeks or more, the firings can start.
I was going to say have the notices printed out in advance and send them out the day after they concede, but a better/more humiliating way would be to announce the name of every fired employee over Twitter. Let them find out over Twitter with the rest of the world.
Esper should already be gone!
“Mark Esper reportedly out as defense secretary after fall election”
no surprise ... and trump has already STRONGLY hinted that Christopher Wray will fired as well ...
p
Quislings, both.
JC of staff, is that General Mellie? He is deep deep deep state. He was ready to do a military coup over POTUS quelling riots. That moment in time was very close to a Latin American type of regime change. His actions are an indicator that Trump does not control much of what he should control ALL of.
Find all of those officers Obama flushed, and bring them back on with full pay as if they never left. The reason they were dumped was they were loyal to the country and wouldn’t keep their mouths shut. How many were flushed for emails that said women were a problem on Submarines or surface ships? Or Generals who were kicked to the curb for complaining about no response to Benghazi?
Patton would have volunteered to put a bullet in that A hole for POTUS.
Why not on November 4?
And that gutless deep state paragon of Bush league class privilege, Chrissy Wray?
He would have seen it as a patriotic duty.
Esper is a treasonous ba$tard.Demote him and send him as a permanent pentagon attache in Israel. If he gets out of line there, the Mossad will pay him a visit.
I agree. I think that guy needs to retire too, like yesterday.
He was trying to make nice. Im certain he has learned his lesson about
trying to make nice to a city that hates him.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
imo, I think the swampers hate what trump is doing more than just hating the orange man.
Schumer & hildabeast loved him when he was donating to their campaigns, but the all hate that hes turn the tap off on the flood of corrupt miney theyve been ripping off the taxpayers for decades
