You are right. Trump doesn’t withdraw forces, figuratively speaking, without pushing ahead somewhere else. We will know in a few days. My guess is Esper’s days are numbered.
GIRLY GUY ESPER MUST BE FIRED ASAP!!!
Esper still no decision on Capt of the USS Roosevelt.
Trump has shown he can be patient and just wait. If he fired him, it would play into the White House is in chaos and no one can work with Trump and he is this or he is that..., etc.
