Esper looks, talks and acts like a weasel. He should never have been hired, which is what I have to say for an awful lot of the people Trump put in positions of authority and which is why I am hoping he steps aside for De Santis.
Every Trump cabinet appointee would have been appointed and confirmed if DeSantis was in the White House. That includes a “weasel” like Esper. It ESPECIALLY includes weasels like Esper.
Ron DeSantis has been groomed for a political career. He’s an establishment Republican through and through, and has never held a job outside government. I don’t know what would make any rational person think he has any latitude for independence in a political leadership position.

Yep, Esper is a weasel. But Trump had to choose from a list of weasels. At that point it was choose an approved of weasel or try to get an outsider through congressional approval. Esper turned out to be a terrible choice, but there weren’t any better ones to be had.
