Trump added,"He would do anything I wanted, that's why I called him ‘Yesper.

"It really caught my attention, and I thought, that – we're at a different spot now. He's gonna finally give a direct order to deploy paratroopers into the streets of Washington, D.C. And I'm thinking with weapons and bayonets. This would be horrible," Esper said on 60 Minutes.
