Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

I was not pleased with the way that Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s trial was handled by the Navy. He was treated very badly but, despite this, was completely exonerated on all major charges. I then restored Eddie’s rank. Likewise, large cost overruns from past administration’s.....

....contracting procedures were not addressed to my satisfaction. Therefore, Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer’s services have been terminated by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. I thank Richard for his service & commitment. Eddie will retire peacefully with all of the.....

....honors that he has earned, including his Trident Pin. Admiral and now Ambassador to Norway Ken Braithwaite will be nominated by me to be the new Secretary of the Navy. A man of great achievement and success, I know Ken will do an outstanding job!

He should reinstate whatever Allen West lost

The LCS and Zumwalt are two different classes of ship. They are both boondoggles and disasters but they’re not the same ship.

Yes, Trump still seems to have an issue with finding the right, loyal people for key positions.

Unfortunate.

maybe Trump will can him next if he opens his piehole again.

He shouldn’t be given the chance to open his pie hole again. He should be told to clear out his desk, and be off the base by sundown. He should have been fired, right along with the Sec Nav. The president should not tolerate ANY insubordination at all.

Eddie wants out. He said so over the weekend on Fox.

Thanx Mr. President the swamp is much larger than anyone expected. I think you are surprised as well.

“What happened to the Admiral?”
Let’s hope that Richard Spencer is now a seaman recruit (E1).

Recall that Barack Obama did all that he could to deny those killed and injured in the Fort Hood Islamic terrorist attack of any medals because it was “workplace violence” and that the treasonous Islamonazi was paid by US taxpayers all throughout his trial.

Good to see a change in the White House. Too bad Army brass handled a real war criminal with kid gloves when Obama was president.

The Secretary should have talked downstream to shut down the Seal commander’s intent to take the guy’s Seal pin away...there was no doubt about the President’s intent ...hope the Seal CC goes down too.

Next I'd like see a Tweet saying this incident was under review:

SEAL Team 6 and what really happened on America's deadliest day in Afghanistan

Shortly after the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, 30 American troops and eight Afghanis were killed in a single incident in the Tangi Valley. To this day, too little is known about their sacrifice.

Me too - wasn’t it Biden that bragged and leaked the SEAL Team 6 ID?

It took people to pull off the “nasty one”. When are they getting the boot?

Why not boot that admiral now? Is there a reason?

The Navy has had serious cost overruns and failed projects...

If that's reason to fire a military secretary then the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force should be next to go.

"In June 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Spencer to serve as the 76th United States Secretary of the Navy.[6][7][8][9] Spencer was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 1, 2017.

He was Trump's guy...
President Trump is getting a lot wiser in the world of paper pushing punks and politicians.. His second term is going to be fun to watch... :)

Yes, they should. There has been a total collapse of accountability in service oriented projects that we taxpayers are footing the bill and not getting the national defense we have been paying for. I say cut the defense budget by half and we could still get what we need.

“Money on he becomes a new CNN commentary dude.”

You and I think alike; however, I was thinking of it from a different angle. I want Fox News to hire Gallagher as one of their contributors. And then watch the liberal talking heads explode.

After looking over Green’s comments, He should have been fired too. Also a Few JAG lawyers too. There is one murder case that is legit, but no one is disputing it, and it had different circumstances.
