ICYMI: Defense Secretary Mark Esper said President Trump directly ordered him to allow Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher to retire as a SEAL. The order effectively put an end to proceedings that could've stripped him of his Trident pin.

Stop now get back to work for the people of America he has a lot of problems in America that he can get done before he leave office that what we vote him in to do not Rudy bullshit with Ukraine let's get back to work for the whole country the Farmers look for your leadership

Rudy has hurt the Republican party and the president office with all the crazy Ukraine Mess the country don't need this kind of lies and many thiñgs that don't add up to the truth in all this mess even Mr Trump has disgrace the whole country with this crazy bullshit it need to

This is wonderful example of why micro-managing every other action in the kingdom is worse than a bad idea. Thrones are not bad idea because the seats are pretentious, they are bad because some actions, even when they may have good intentions, undermine U.S integrity.

Thank you, Mr President, for appreciating the work SEALS do.

And so he should. He earned the Seal Title. Political games can not take that away. If you can take it away you would have to charge the entire seal team in the picture

Is this in writing?

Around the world who has the power will win God has nothing to do with the government's around the world it is the people Stop all these lies you envengelicals keep telling the American people all dam lie not true God never sent Mr Trump anywhere Trump want to be president to

Rick Perry said That Trump is the chosen one God sent him down to save the white race to protect them take there country back make it all white again all the white Evangelicals and their pastors say the same but not true at all it is Adam big lie Rome made up the lie 500 years

It takes a war criminal to pardon a war criminal.

Esper needs to man up and resign

I do not support Eddie Gallagher posing with dead bodies. It's not good optics on the international stage. We train our military men and women to get a terrible job done. There shouldn't be joy and posing with enemies dead though. Let him retire with his trident. It's over.

Trump is an ass

Good job President Trump!!!

A glaring example of how nonsensical it is to have a civilian as Commander in Chief of the military.

As with so many of his choices just because you have the “right” to do something doesn’t make it the RIGHT thing to do.

And liberals wept....😂

So if he had a spine he would resign rather than follow that “order.”

The fact liberals are triggered

Good

What happened to military accountability?

dmrider The secretary has the most otherworldly “yes, Master” look upon face.

dangerous precedent

Rick Perry from Texas can keep all those lies in Texas where the church beleives these lie God never sent Trump to do any of the things he does God is not that dumb or a ass like Trump the Republicans have lost their way in America we don't need anymore of this mess no thanks

Good. Good bye

Nice work, Mark. Aid and comfort to the enemy. That's something to tell your grand kids, the day you sold your honor for your position. Duck and cover, as they say.

I have no affection for a dude who made fun of a POW for being shot down (never forgive and never forget), but we have civilian control of the military for a reason! The Prez is the CnC - no debate, no comment, period. They also have ultimate classification authority.

The Evangelicals will be full of joy and very happy if she will pass tonight they will be sure to get their judge on the bench to rule in their favour you know God has spoke to them all of them plus Rick Perry right off the crazy farm the bug farm for sure with all the lies

Good.

But the world will always know him to be a murderer who brought shame to his team.

Well the president and the Republican party and Rick Perry who said God sent Mr Trump to save his country and his people and take this country back they hope is that Mrs Ruth G will die soon so they can pick one of their nuts to be Supreme court Judge very soon if not now

Trump has no bottom

And the problem is? And Orange Man Bad doesn’t count.

So when he said sat for congressional approval and was asked if he was given an order he didn't agree with, that he would resign...I guess he changed him mind. nospine notleadership

any moral high ground the US military may have had is 🕳

Found innocent. Beaucrats suck

freeing ISIS combatants and giving war criminals the go-ahead to generate propaganda for them. surely that won't come back to bite us in the ass.

Good

Did the direct order come BEFORE or AFTER the tweet? Don't you think it's poor judgement to TWEET demands or orders or instructions to the WORLD that should be made in a more formal way? What if your boss emailed everyone in your company about something he/she wanted you to do?

As a Vet of the USNavy I am disgusted, mad as hell, and ashamed. That war criminal does not deserve the Trident from my Navy.

Don't take 'Orders' from an Incompetent, Inept, & completely compromised Traitor for Putin, that is in Office Illegally. Get a Spine, or Get out

God, I love this president.

SMH!!!

So the Commander in Chief made a decision that is his to make. Big if true.

'Before joining the Department of Defense, Esper was vice president of government relations at Raytheon, a major U.S. defense contractor. During his time at Raytheon, Esper was recognized as a top corporate lobbyist by The Hill in 2015[4] and 2016.'

So - facts don't matter, just optics. Check.

If Esper had any integrity, he would have resigned. But, opportunism trumped patriotism.

hey Marky Mark know your place or gtfo k buddy? draintheswamp
