Particularly one who seeks to profit from his cowardice: "A snake in President Trump's cabinet: Mark Esper tells all to 60 Minutes".
When you think of everything that's gone wrong with the U.S. military — from its wokester agenda to its failure to contain Russia to its breakdown in discipline to the presence of Gen. Mark Milley on the Joint Chiefs of Staff — pretty much all of it has the name of Mark Esper, President Trump's former defense secretary, all over it.
Rather than slink off into obscurity after such a performance, if not back to the big-bucks war-machine defense-contractor lobby whence he sprang, he's out shilling a tell-all book and promoting it on 60 Minutes in a bid to discredit the man he purportedly "served," President Trump.
Another insubordinate weasel trying to pass himself off as a hero.
When I read the headline I thought, "What did f in Romney do now?"
ReplyDeleteHow could Trump be so wrong on so many swamp creatures?
Either he got really bad advice or something in DC changed them or he just misjudged them.
Something to ponder as we ride our handbasket.
The most frustrating thing about Trump, to me anyway, was the sheer volume of bad hires he made. I realize he was an outsider, but it was incumbent upon him to develop reliable intel very quickly on who was truly on his side and who was swamp, and he failed. His recent endorsement of Oprah's TV doctor makes me wonder if he's learned anything. Something to ponder, indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for any politician to know who to trust in the D. C. jungle, but Trump seems to be a particularly bad judge of character.
ReplyDeleteYes, and that was somewhat surprising to me. Picking good people in D.C. is even harder than picking good people in the real estate investment business, I guess, and that's going some.
