He was trolling the leftists to goad them into trying to defend their failed policies and double down on their idiocy. And guess what? It worked. It didn't mean President Trump intended to order the military to storm the cities.
With that, Esper and others outed themselves as part of the Deep State Swamp.
I have to assume their by their silence they agreed with Esper.
Are you not aware that military members are never supposed to utter any political opinion about anything? The United States Military unlike any other is apolitical. We were instructed never to be seen in a political event. These former military members can say what they like, but I only feel contempt for their blatant subversive acts. It is mind boggling that you could assume that silence means agreement. Oh wait, you were never in the military.
Esper was speaking for not only himself but the top brass at The Pentagon. I don’t have to be a veteran to know that. It’s obvious. A very non-political statement could’ve very easily been released by The generals stating that if The President deemed it necessary to deploy troops to assist law enforcement the troops are ready to go. Instead we hear crickets. Sorry, The Pentagon and the top generals are deep state just like Mattis.
