As commander and chief is Trump allowed to fire people, or is that an impeachable offense?
This is the message to the brass and troops: Whether Trump’s orders come by twitter, horseback, telegraph or carrier pigeon, they will be carried out. Any questions?
This was a key moment in Trump’s presidency. All military eyes were watching the President’s reaction to the Secretary’s insubordination and disobedience. Now that everyone knows the answer and what to expect, there will be no more of this foolishness. One more head (and stars) needs to roll to end the charade that Trump’s orders are only casual conversation. But to all but the most indoctrinated fools, the message is clear.
The minute I heard his interview where he said he didn’t consider a tweet an order, I knew he was gone!
