Branch manager
Trump again artlessly tells the world what an incompetent fool he is by talking trash about people he himself gave the jobs he says they did so badly.
Trump, in a written statement to CBS’s 60 Minutes, said he had “no comment” when asked whether he ever asked ex-defense secretary Mark Esper about sending “missiles into Mexico” to destroy drug cartel labs in the country, which Esper claimed in a memoir published this week.
So that’s a yes.
“Mark Esper was weak and totally ineffective, and because of it, I had to run the military,” Trump’s statement to 60 Minutes boasted. “He was a lightweight and figurehead, and I realized it very early on.”
Well not “early on” enough, clearly, because there he was, being the defense secretary. A competent boss would find that out before hiring the lightweight figurehead, not after.
“I fired Yesper because he was a Rino (Republican in name only) incapable of leading, and I had to run the military myself.”
Then wudja hire him for, sir?
And, of course, he ran the military from his position in front of the TV. If Trump had really run the military, the libertarians would have gotten their dearest wish – no more military.
Good help is so hard to find.
And Esper became Defense Secretary only because Trump drove out Mattis (whom he had chosen because he liked the nickname “Mad Dog”, even though Mattis himself hated it).
Yes, but he only appointed the best people.
