Few days ago an article came out saying the guy was preparing his resignation papers....Trump wanted the headline by firing him instead of allowing him to resign with dignity...this way Trump can insult him on his way out
Esper essentially disavowed trump clearing out protestors around the white house so trump could have his stupid photo-op in front of the church. That was certain to piss trump off I also wouldn't be surprised if trump wanted the Pentagon to do some things in the election run-up and Esper refused the next two months is going to see trump do a lot of damage as his corruption and vindictiveness will all be super-charged by his refusal to admit defeat. He's going to be a flaming wrecking-ball slamming into what's left of our democracy
been building for a while. Esper disagreed about using national guard to remove protestors outside the Whitehouse for Trump's photo op in front of the church. He even wrote an op ed about it. Trump is just settling scores now because he doesn't have any potential repercussions after election.
So Trump is "firing" a guy who last week said he "had prepared a letter of resignation"? ..........Whoa, stop the presses.
My worry is Trump's going to make it so hard on Biden by fucking up as much as he can before leaving the white house. He still has so many followers that in his mind and his followers he is still president. While Biden runs his presidency out of the white house, Trump will just be running his out of Mar-A-Lago.
Put into motion the changing of names of bases. Apologized for appearing with Trump during photo op. where protestors were physically removed so Trump could be photographed holding a bible.
