Domenech: There were situations where Trump was in the right, and Esper was 'standing in the way'
Fox News ^ | May 9, 2022 | Fox News Staff

Ben Domenech provides insight on former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper's answers during an interview with Bret Baier, and how the former secretary feels about Trump running again in 2024 on ‘Special Report.’

BEN DOMENECH: Absolutely. They would say good. I mean, they would look at someone like Secretary Esper as a problem. Look, this is the latest in a long series of Washington books stretching back for centuries titled effectively "if only they had listened to me." And it's interesting to see Esper going around and doing these interviews and talking about this today. I actually have a lot of questions about the policy side of things, which I'm looking forward to seeing you ask him about in the second part tomorrow. Because when you drive down into specifics, I'm not sure that Secretary Esper thinks that a lot of the things that he's dinging President Trump over are as effective as he believes them to be. In fact, I think that you could see situations where the president had the right of the perspective and that Esper should not have been standing in the way as he was. Yet again, though, this is an example of how the Trump administration was basically eaten by the swamp, devoured by the people who came in and served him, you know, perhaps operating under the idea that they would undermine him at every turn when he did something that they did not like.

Daily Mail is having a field day with outrageous claims coming from Esper’s new book. There may be some truth in there but the way it’s being reported makes Trump look like a madman.

That’s because the Daily Mail is a tabloid paper that’s only good for lining a bird cage. That doesn’t stop the Zelenskyy fan boys from breathlessly posting every article they publish about how Ukraine is “winning the war!” 🤣

The DM were quoting. You can see him say the exact same thing that was written in the site. I don’t see how that is DM fault

If you are looking for tabloid things, yes you will find it. They also post a lot of news. If they hurt your feelings over Putin, then post news stories that prove they are false. You won’t because you can’t.

The military leadership was essentially in mutiny for his entire presidency.
Flipped him the finger over Syria, trannies, NATO. A USAF General commanding nuclear forces said he would not over a Trump order. When Trump pardoned Eddie Gallagher and told the navy to knock it off, they went after him even more. Carrier captain writing open letters because his kids had the flu. Milley publicly opposing Trump stopping the race riots. You name it.

Our senior military leadership is trash.

Trump was absolutely right. The Marxist propagandists have destroyed people’s ability to think logically. Infiltration of academe and the schools and the pulpits with nonsense has led to suicidal nonsense being pushed as news.
