Trump’s biggest failure has been with appointees disloyal to him.

He wanted to rename all the bases where my brother and my father and my uncles....and yours were recorded with their war records.

It's like doing away with A.D....as a date footnote. Just plain stupid.

That’s why you got your ass fired.

I thought it was a given, his name being Marx Esper and all.

He was a ‘No’ man; no to running a proper military and obeying his superior’s orders.

So, do you have a idea how Trump can get around the Turdle’s senate confirmation? Easy to say what Trump should do, but there is a process that the Constitution requires him to go through.

It is his job to be a ‘yes’ man insofar as the CoC is issuing lawful orders.

“ nobody pushed back against the White House and President Donald Trump in the Cabinet more than him.”

And....that is why you were fired. Hard to believe, huh?

I would say yes.

It appears that the Hatch Act is not really Law if you're a Leftist Democrat or a Leftist Democrat Tool.

What is Esper?
Even a really great general like Douglas MacArthur was dismissed by Truman for insubordination, let alone a nobody like Esper.
How many votes has Esper ever gotten?

What he stated is impossible. If you say no’ to one party, you say yes’ to another.

as Pentagon chief that nobody pushed back against the White House and President Donald Trump in the Cabinet more than him.

May be a reason he was fired somewhere in this statement.
