How is that in any way relevant to the fact that people on this thread are coming up with bat-**** crazy conspiracy theories to explain why Trump fired the Defense Secretary?
What exactly is the pashut pshat in all the firings?
AP dead or Obi dead?
What conspiracy theories?
If theres ay chance he'll win in the courts he'll need someone willing to use force to quash the massive riots/ civil unrest before it leads all out civil war
I don't know, but it reports I've seen (including from Jake Tapper who is no fan of Trump's) say that Trump told them to get the troops out of Afghanistan, and they refused.
Presidents don't just replace Cabinet members on their way out of office. It doesn't happen. And the entire civilian leadership team at the Pentagon? It's unprecedented. Unless it serves an actionable purpose within the next 10 weeks, it does absolutely nothing other than make transitioning to the new administration infinitely harder. You can't say this is business as usual.
White house ordered agencies to prepare February budget......
Or he really believes that after all is said and done, he will be president for another 4 years. Who knows
Cabinet officials don't just defy orders from the president.
I haven't seen where Esper actually defied an order. You have a source for that?
It’s not the entire Defense department civilian leadership. So far it’s 3-4 people
Saw a Jake Tapper tweet.
Secretary of Defense, SECDEF Chief of Staff, Undersecretary of Defense (Policy), Undersecretary of Defense (Intelligence).
Thats a lot but far from everybody. Isn’t Chief of staff melodramatic? Wouldn’t that be a given to replace when there’s a new Secretary?
Jake Tapper's twitter account belongs somewhere between the Onion's and the Babylon Bee's.
Say what? How could they be doing a good job distributing if they don’t even have EUA yet?....
