Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense, is publicly fretting that Donald Trump will retaliate against those in the deep state that sought to undermine his first term as President of the United States, telling the media that he thinks those worried about retaliation have a “legitimate fear”.
Esper recalled an alleged incident where Trump “…wanted to call back to active duty Adm. McRaven and Gen. McChrystal, to court-martial them, for some things that they allegedly said in in the public domain, and Milley and I had to talk the president out of doing that, for any number of reasons.”
The comments from the former Secretary of Defense come after Trump criticized retiring General Mark Milley last week for communicating with his Chinese counterparts “…to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States.” Trump compared the betrayal by Milley to a “treasonous act.”
Media freak outs over President Trump’s criticism of the deep state are nothing new. A senior U.S. defense official communicating with a foreign military regarding the President’s thinking on diplomatic and military matters without authorization, on-the-other-hand, is a serious breach of protocol. Similarly, the corporate media has tried to stoke fear regarding plans to staff the government with political appointees who would implement the President’s agenda – something every presidential administration does.
In both instances, the corporate media is siding with anti-democratic elements in government who act against the will of the American people and the duly elected President.
He can bet the farm on it!
“telling the media that he thinks those worried about retaliation have a “legitimate fear”
This is a good thing.
Absolutely yes. Tons of CIA, FBI, Milley, and other criminals who committed crimes in the courts with perjury, spying on the White House, committing espionage against us like Milly, and of course the plot to steal 2020.
And they should be in the same exact cells the J6 people were in before he pardoned them.
Do YOU think these criminals should walk free with pensions?
Worried?
Our Founding Fathers would have burned down their houses long ago. Fckn parasites.
He should go ahead and confess then.
Retaliate is hardly the right word.
Yes that’s why they are in overdrive trying to stop him.
Hey dummy, that is WHY he is being elected.
That’s why I’m voting for him.
Well whoda thunk it?
That’s a feature, not a bug.
Go get ‘em, Donald!
Good 2024 bring the hate !
I believe this article is based on the Oct 1, 2023 Face the Nation interview. Here is the transcript.

I am more worried that the Deep State will turn to assassination to stop Trump.
“Retaliate?!” Why, two wrongs don’t make a right and an eye for an eye makes us all blind./SARC
Retaliate by naming them to every single post in his administration, like he did last time? They must be scared.
Esper speaks like getting justice for past injustices is a bad thing.
They call it retaliation, when it’s actually justice for their outrageous behavior and corruption.
Clean House! Fumigate! Close bogus operations/offices.
Fill key positions SPARINGLY with PROVEN PATRIOTS! :)
Worried about it? Mark, I’m positively counting on it. I’m giddy at the prospect of it. Its a huge motivational force for me to back Trump even more than I ever have before.
I hope he does get in office. Then I hope he comes down harder on your crooked bastards than you ever even imagined he could. I hope he utterly ruins you and destroys a lot of the government agencies you’ve corrupted.
