Trump's Defense Secretary Prepares Resignation Letter Before Final Presidential Election Result

Esper is also reportedly helping Congress prepare legislation to change the names of military installations that honour confederate leaders.

Mark Esper, the second Permanent Defense Secretary under President Donald Trump, has his resignation letter ready to go, NBC reported Thursday, citing three current defense officials.

Esper is also reportedly helping Congress prepare legislation to change the names of military installations that honour confederate leaders.

Esper intends to help lawmakers insert the measure into the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual law that funds the Defense Department, according to the report.

The defense secretary has drafted a written framework for the process, which may also rename ships and streets on military bases, NBC reported, adding that the framework suggests prohibiting naming bases after a felon or someone, who betrayed the country and instead establishing criteria for such names.

Senior US military leaders in recent months have floated the idea of renaming several military bases such as Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina, which is named for Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, and Ft. Lee in Prince George County, Virginia, which is named for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

An effort to rename the military bases would be at odds with Trump, who would have final approval authority on the annual defense bill.

Trump has publicly decried the campaign to change the base names, which has picked up steam in Congress as the country grapples with the Black Lives Matter movement.

"These monumental and very powerful bases have become part of a great American heritage, and a history of winning, victory, and freedom," Trump tweeted in June.

"The United States of America trained and deployed our heroes on these hallowed grounds, and won two World Wars."

Chief Pentagon spokesman, Jonathan Hoffman, downplayed the report, telling NBC News that Esper "continues to serve the nation as the Secretary of Defense at the pleasure of the President and is at the Pentagon today working on the irreversible implementation of the National Defense Strategy."

"The speculation about potential resignations of cabinet officials is a well-worn, D.C.-insider, post-election parlor game," Hoffman said in a statement.

The "Power Brokers" that be, feel they have it all Planned out.
They Have "The Great Reset" all Planned out!
They Have filled the world with Mass Confusion!
But in Reality, all things are moving right along in God's Perfect Timing..
Psalm 2:1-4
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

Although the Great Reset is Coming, So is the RAPTURE of the Saints!
Believers! Be rest assured! The Day of the Rapture is Upon us!
And it's gonna be outta this World!
Hang tight!
Buckle up!
We Fly Soon!!!

Trump is under pressure may God help him.
when you choose to do the right thing all odds will be against you.
many people don't know what God has used this man to do.
he has kept the Islamic extremists at check
his policies has pressurized the Iranians ,which is a very dangerous country and has hindered them from carrying out their evil agenda
North Korea
China
and Russia has also been suppressed under his regime. but many people don't know the trump administration has stabilized the world and has averted much casualties.
