Administration Insiders: Pentagon House Cleaning of Never Trumpers Looms
Breitbart ^ | Feb. 26, 2020 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 02/26/2020 2:21:27 PM PST by libstripper

President Trump’s firing of John Rood, the top policy official at the Pentagon [Under Secretary of Defense for Policy], is a sign the agency is not immune from an effort to purge from influential positions across the administration “snakes” who do not support the president, according to four current and former officials.

Rood had been on the chopping block for months, but his firing just last week amid a spate of other personnel changes shows that the president is finally ready to clean house at a department that has tried to distance itself from politics, they said.

The second administration official pointed to the recent firing of the entire White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), which is responsible for administration appointments and all the “Never Trumpers” who managed to get in, as a sign, and confirmed a recent Axios report that Never Trumpers are to be either purged or not promoted by shifting them to a different agency.

WOW!! PDJT is a master tactician, making these massive moves while his enemies are distracted by the Corona virus "crisis" and his great trip to India. The disinfectant loaded political pressure washer is coming to DC.

If one is smart enough to keep his mouth shut how do you know he’s a never-trumped? Hint: women are better at that.

A statement well worth repeating.

“Muh, why didn’t the Orange Man do this on Jan 21st 2017 and s—t dawg?” Because Trump wanted to give these jerks the rope to hang themselves with.

I’m a big supporter of DJT. But he should have done a lot of this on January 21, 2017. Clinton and Obama cleaned house their first day in office. Bush and Trump did not. A lot of today’s problems are the result of that.

Yes. He’s an Obama social engineering general. He needs to be sent packing.

I love Trump’s head fakes, or as said in hockey, his dekes.

Obama pushed the strong officers out a long time ago.

In January 2017 Donald Trump has no more than a couple of dozen trusted associates who would have been willing to take a position in the senior ranks of his administration. Half of them were family members, and the other half were comprised of mostly misfits like Michael Cohen.

Hoping and praying “Never Trumpers” is synonymous with “Cultural Marxists”.

Moral relativity and cultural Marxism (rooted in humanism), are the antithesis and true enemies of freedom and liberty in America, and constitute the true fundamental beliefs of the “long haul” deep state, dead set on absolute centralized federal control of society (socialism), and the “interagency” popularity and desire for real global government.
