Trump Fires Secretary of Defense and 3 more Top Pentagon Officials Resign - Why?

Trump is preparing for an attempted coup. That is technically what his refusal to leave office will be. America will depend on military officers to refuse illegal orders from Trump's flunkies.
Why don't you show us where Trump has ever broken the law or violated the Constitution?
 
The Trump administration launched a dramatic shake-up at the senior levels of the Pentagon on Tuesday, installing three White House loyalists in influential roles and intensifying turmoil a day after President Trump abruptly fired his defense secretary. A lame duck president, who claims he won the election and refuses to concede or agree to a peaceful transition replaces top pentagon officials with Trump loyalists.
To think Donald Trump would not use all means to stay in power is wishful thinking. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but this may well be a precursor to something pretty awful.

How do you or the Washington Pest know who they are loyal to? Did they tell you? Did Trump tell you? The fact is you pulled that out of your ass.

Im hopeful that he doesn't go peacefully. Seeing the park police escort the blob out would be a spiking of the football on this disgraceful administration. It won't be a proud moment for America but, we haven't had many proud moments since the blob oozed into office so what is the problem with another one?

It will mean the sad era you helped usher in is over and we can go forward together.

Yeah, but he's the President and you ain't.
Most people don't realize just how much power the president has. To think he would not use that power to stay in office is just wishful thinking. If the president initiated a nuclear attack, the Secretary of Defense would have to confirm it. Of course there is no Secretary of Defense. If the president decided he would use the US military within the US, he certainly has the power to do so. The one person that could check him by involving congress is the Secretary of Defense.
Power of the President??? Try reading the Constitution.

I hope so too, but a lame duck president firing the Secretary of Defense and placing 3 top level people at the Pentagon with Trump loyalist is more just strange. There has to be something behind.

Huh. Where is "lame duck" defined in the Constitution again?
They lost the confidence of the Commander in Chief.

US plans sale of F-35 fighter jets to UAE in $23B arms deal.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he had authorized the sale in keeping with the administration’s Middle East peace efforts. The notification to lawmakers follows the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel, Bahrain and the UAE, under which the Arab states have agreed to normalize relations with Israel.
“This is in recognition of our deepening relationship and the UAE’s need for advanced defense capabilities to deter and defend itself against heightened threats from Iran,” Pompeo said in a statement.
Israeli officials have previously expressed some concern about an F-35 sale because it could affect the balance of military power in the region. But Pompeo said it would be “fully consistent” with the longstanding policy of maintaining Israel’s qualitative military advantage.
The sale, worth up to $23.37 billion, includes 50 F-35s, 18 advanced armed drone systems and a package of air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions.
This sale — and the resulting improvement of the Arab world’s defense posture vis-a-vis Iran — wouldn’t be possible without Trump’s “impulsive” Middle East policy.

Forward toward socialism and lack of free speech? 71mil voted for DJT and Biden said he will be the president for ALL people. Let's see if he is telling the truth. 2022 should be interesting. Oh and I live in MA. My votes are irrelevant so explain I helped usher anything please.

Dems took the house in 2018
Dems took several governors chairs in 2019
Dems took the oval in 2020

You didn't answer my question. How convenient. Dems nearly lost the House in 2020 and show me in which state they will take the Senate. They will lose the House in 2022 if Joe goes far socialist. I support checks and balances. You support a one party rule and lack of freedoms. Let's see if the rest of the country agrees. Fair?

That's a totally blob vacuous answer. How is Biden unifying us? What is he offering to make peace?

The Clinton/Obama deep state swamp rats are being run out of town.
They are Trump appointees, not Obama.
 
This is your new Secretary of Defense! Bless!:2up:




Christopher Miller, who was named acting defense secretary Nov. 9, 2020, on a deployment to Afghanistan with 5th Special Forces Group circa 2001-2002.

Nope. Said he would lose. Find the post where I predicted he would even win.

He wasn't happy when the military balked at his desire to deploy in Washington DC during the protests.

It's in the section that addresses lame ducks refusing to give up the presidency.

He reflects the opinion of the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, no military use within the US. Without the support of General Mark A. Milley, Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, any use of US troops within the US borders would be impossible. Now if Trump cans Milley, then Trump is most likely up to no good.

I said would not shock me. When did I predict a win? It would not have shocked me if the Miami Heat beat the Lakers but it doesn’t mean I predict a win. It’s actually the exact opposite. Like saying unlikely but would not shock me. Are you really that stupid? Honestly. All of you leftists are dumber than a bag of rocks. No wonder you believe men may identify as women.
