The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the two men were “not in a good place” but that Trump did not intend to move on Esper until voters have rendered their judgment on a second Trump term on Nov. 3.
Esper also appeared to publicly split with Trump last month by issuing a de facto ban on the Confederate flag at military installations, at a time when Trump was citing free speech rights in his defense of Americans who fly the Confederate flag.The Confederate flag was flown by breakaway Southern states that advocated for the continuation of slavery and lost the 1861-65 U.S. Civil War.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, noted, however, that turnover in top positions is common at the end of a presidential term.
Mark Esper is the reason we were not occupied by the armed forces.

Yes, the differences are striking, Esper is smart and trump is stupid. It's like oil and water. Trump never met a smart cabinet member that he didn't either fire or drive away with stupidity.
realDonaldTrump : If the latter wants to do anything good, he should fight the DEADLY TRUMP VIRUS according to our Scientists, rather than wasting time planning for after November 03, when he is going to lose. SenKamalaHarris foxnewsnight , nytimes USATODAY CNN
Has this Esper guy just started his job? What's this number 4 or 5 holding this position? Trump's a complete lunatic.
Lol Americans thinking their election won’t be rigged 😏
🎪🎪🎪
Trump can't get along with anyone but 'yes-men'.
“After the election”... what a delusional dimwit.
Your missed the part that says 'if he is reelected'.
How is he going to do that from prison?🤷🏽♀️
What, not hawkish enough?
It won’t be up to him.
Hi
After the election everyone will be replaced. realDonaldTrump can't have losers around him unless he's going to use them as scapegoats.
No-one survives a narcissist wannabe dictator. Either you disagree and your canned, or you become a scapegoat for whatever mess he gets into. 'I never liked so and so, everyone knows they xxx statement about how washed that person is xxx'
America is in for a terrible time. The country's economy will decline, the US will lose its position in the geopolitical arena, the people will become wild and impoverished, and even embittered. Pogroms will return to normal. It will be scary to go out on the street
In firing mode again. Uh remember that Who doesn’t love me gets the can...
Counting those chickens before they hatch
I hope realDonaldTrump’s advisers “adviced” him that it would be too late if he waited till past November to fire Defense Secretary Mark Esper since a newly minted unimpeached POTUS would’ve ridden into town guns blazing! Booyah!
What, Esper's observing the wording of the oath of office?
In another authoritarian action......
AFTER the election? Why is that so troubling? Oh yeah, because he is in the process of trying to STEAL THE ELECTION.
My advice to draft dodger Trump! Take the Defense job too! Actually you need this Esper when you call all the shots? Also do you really need the damn military when you can destroy the entire world with your own mouth? Like Lord Shiva opening his third eye & destroying everything!
He doesn’t need to worry about that, he should be focused on his new job in prison.
It’s more like Donald Jeenius Trump will be replaced and jailed.
After the election Trump will be picking canteen.
I wouldn’t worry about it...
Reuters is creating news from nothing . Go and sleep Reuters. No evidence.
Fuck it replace him right now realDonaldTrump and don’t let an election hold you back from your WhitePowerHouse McDonalds style turnover. Who haven’t you fired yet, just the VP ? Is that it? Of course IvankaTrump and jaredkushner haven’t been fired. Yet still, go for it!
After the November election he won't have much time to worry about such things. However, he will have to worry about how much time he might have to serve in New York State prison though.
Esper is not a hype monkey? Kick him to the curb.
So there is no debate ... like the U.K.
That won't be a problem. Trump and all of his staff will be replaced in November.
Y not now?
”Yesper” getting shown the door? What are the odds?
Esper not licking the boot well enough.
