In newly released exchanges, Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper described to Norah O'Donnell the turbulence of working in the Trump administration.

In June 2020, Mr. Trump ordered then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper, to withdraw 10,000 U.S. troops from Germany. The former president said it was because Germany was not paying enough to NATO.Esper told 60 Minutes he"wrestled" with how to handle Trump's order and ultimately devised a plan to relocate troops in an effort to reassure the U.S.'s NATO allies.

"We came up with a plan that ended up putting more U.S. forces in Europe to strengthen NATO, more U.S. forces in more NATO countries to reassure them, and more forces closer to Russia to deter them," Esper told 60 Minutes."And I thought it was a clever way by which we were able to accomplish strategic objectives, notwithstanding the origin of the president's desire to pull troops out of Germany.

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment gives the cabinet the power to declare the President unfit to hold office through a series of formal actions involving Congress. This amendment does not directly involve the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Watch Norah O'Donnell's interview with former Defense Secretary Mark Esper below.

Nobody cares

Nora is about as credible as Gale king. CBS is nothing but a mouthpiece for the DNC.

WHY is there even continuing 'Posturing' on the possibility that an orange MISCREANT (DEGENERATE) will be once again in the 'WH' , ? . 🤨❓

Trump wanted Esper to shoot missiles at Mexico and calls his Administration 'turbulent'. Every media outlet is owned by billionaires who benefit from GOP tax policies, every writer and 'news' anchor is a paid liar for the Republican party. CBS is as right wing as Fox.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

And he did nothing.

If its reported and focused upon by the main stream news it benefits the left and is likely bullshit, as this article is.

NorahODonnell is hired by the left wing mob! Has she been down to the border since Joe took office? Why isn’t she asking Dems why they aren’t visiting when they covered a caravan of 30K and that comes across every 2 days now? Norah is in the Dems pocket

Amazing how he didn't open his mouth until he was ready with a book

Report on Bidey Boy’s dementia as well.
