Mark Esper reveals all about working at the Pentagon for Trump. So no job for him when Trump returns!

Being in Trump's cabinet was like being on the biggest rollercoaster in the world while knowing the mechanics oud break down at any moment. Enough has already been written in books and articles to tell us what it was like working for Trump. But noww we have Mark Esper's account. The former defence secretary who succeeded Jim Mattis, robust Marine Corps warrior, has written a memoir which caused quite a stir at the Pentagon when he sent his manuscript for checking. A few spicey paragraphs were removed much to his irritation but now the book is out and it's clear Esper found working as Trump's Pentagon boss was pretty much a daily nightmare. Trump wanted to send 250,000 troops to the Mexican border, remove all US troops from South Korea, stop sending extra troops to Poland and telling Ukraine to look fr military assistance from Germany not the US. Esper sat there listening to this stuff with growing alarm. Did Trump really mean it or was he dissing them all. Clearly he did mean it at the time. Poor Esper. He didn't know what to do or say, apart from advising agaist all of the above. When I read excerpts of his memoir I had only one thought in my mind. This man, and I mean Trump not Esper, could well be back in the White House in 2024 and once again we could be hearing of all his wild ideas. All the signs are that Trump will decide to stand for reelection and, unbelievably, he will be streets ahead of any other rivals in the Republican party. The Republican party has just not learnt the lessons of the four years of the Trump presidency. It is beyond comprehension.
