Did Mark Esper pull the short straw...


Nov 9, 2020, 1:03 PM

to be the one to tell Trump?

There were reports he had drafted a resignation letter...


Nov 9, 2020, 1:07 PM

This appears that the President wanted to get ahead of him and make it his decision. I'm sure we'll soon find out the reason.

Does it really matter...

it's kind of like being fired from a 5 1/4" floppy disk factory at this point.

Maybe Trump wants to use the Insurrection Act to hold power


Nov 9, 2020, 1:13 PM

and Esper refused? Anything is plausible at this point.

To me, most likely explanation


Nov 9, 2020, 1:16 PM

Secretary Esper and President Trump had a rift over the protesters a few months ago. Relationship soured. Esper wanted to resign after the election. Media caught wind of it last week. President goes ahead and axes him.

I think Trump just needed an ego boost.


Nov 9, 2020, 1:33 PM

Losing the election got him feeling down in the dumps and firing someone made him feel like he's still a big important person.

Sure, but...

Would you be surprised to find out Trump has at least inquired about how he could utilize the military to stop the "election fraud"?
