Ex-Trump Adviser Details Trump’s UNHINGED Military Aspirations

Read more HERE:

"Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper reiterated to 60 Minutes on Sunday that during his time in the Trump administration, he had to prevent “dangerous things that could have taken the country in a dark direction.”

Esper, whose forthcoming book A Sacred Oath makes a number of allegations about former President Donald Trump — including that he asked about shooting Black Lives Matter protesters and wanted missile strikes to “destroy the drug labs” in Mexico — told 60 Minutes that he thinks “it’s important to our country” that the American people understand what unfolded during Trump’s presidency.

According to a transcript of the interview provided by CBS, Esper told correspondent Norah O’Donnell, “it’s important to our country, it’s important to the republic, the American people, that they understand what was going on in this very consequential period — the last year of the Trump administration.”

“And to tell the story about things we prevented: really bad things, dangerous things that could have taken the country in a dark direction,” he added.

“What kind of terrible things did you prevent?” O’Donnell asked."

Mark Esper needs to go away. He could've warned the American people of these things while he was in office.

[emilysigmund]

These people discussing Trumps ideas with a straight face have nerves of steel to not just burst out laughing

[docdirtymrclean]

Trump is what happens when someone grows up without learning the meaning of "No".

Is Esper selling a book? That seems to be the only time when conservatives are honest, when they are trying to make money from book sales.

Elections have consequences so vote like it's your last time to do so...

If you want to deal with the problems of drugs, just legalise soft drugs, decriminalize hard drugs, and treat it like a health problem. Anything other than this empowers dangerous criminals, and comes from oppressive authoritarianism.

It is SAD that Esper (AND MANY OTHERS) ONLY TELL THE REAL TRUTH WHEN THEY WISH TO PROFIT FROM IT! PLEASE PASS ME A BARF BAG...NOT HIS "BEST-SELLER"...WELL, THEY ARE BOTH FORMS OF WORTHLESS PAPER!

I'm at an age where I don't know if I'll die of old age or Nuclear War - or being shot for helping Americans get their freedoms back

Don’t buy the book. So sick of these guys speaking out after the fact.

[USMCCGAGNG]

… for his book. The lack of courage of all the Whitehouse staff, except for Col. Alexander Vindman, is nauseating.

[zizimugen]

If trump is still the president, and Biden actually lost… Doesn’t that mean trump is in his second term, and he wouldn’t be allowed to run in 2024?

[GftUSA]

I’m currently reading Mary Trump’s book about Donald’s life and upbringing, and so far from what I’ve read, seeing this story and others on the Trump presidency doesn’t surprise me at all lol

I bet Ana got railed on that kitchen counter. Maybe also on the table she's using.

Hey you know what give trump credit where it’s due: he knew a tomato is a fruit

In case nobody has told you this today, You're worthy you're valid and I'm glad you exist.
