Donald Trump sacks defence secretary Mark Esper
President says Pentagon chief has been ‘terminated’ in first major act since losing the election

Donald Trump sacked his defence secretary Mark Esper on Monday, in his first major official act since losing re-election at the weekend.

“Mark Esper has been terminated,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter. Christopher Miller would take over “effective immediately”, he added. Mr Miller, a former Green Beret, currently serves as director of the national counter-terrorism centre, a unit within the US intelligence community.

Mr Trump fell out with his defence secretary in June after Mr Esper said he was opposed to sending US troops into American streets to quell civil unrest, except as a last resort, amid a host of anti-racism protests.

Mr Trump had publicly mocked Mr Esper as “Yesper”, a nickname from colleagues who had previously seen him as a yes-man who failed to stand up to Mr Trump.

The Pentagon declined to comment and referred inquiries to the White House.

You can imagine if it were an African president that refuse to concede to defeat white house and American embassy in that country would have threatening the president with sanction and backing the opposition leader like they did in Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Gambia and Venezuela.

It shows that the US is Chief in hypocrisy.

I missed late Robert Mugabe he would have issued warning and threatening Trump if he fails to concede within 78hrs the way US use to act to other developing countries.

The man made a mistake by allowing his plan to resign, to leak to the press. Trump then preempted him by giving him a sack. It has nothing to do with election anyway.
Re: Breaking: Donald Trump Sack Defense Secretary mark Esper by adekolaelect(m): 8:11pm On Nov 09, 2020
Those are what you can do but you can't reverse the outcome of the concluded election. It is above you . I hope you don't forget how and what African country did to Bagbo. It was them that installed you now they had fire you .somebody else was there before you came you won not in the instrest of the ruling classes then but power was handed over to you.now it is your turn to swallow the bitter side of life and move on.

Guy please talk of what you know. Is conceding the main point? It's only meant as a gesture of civility.

The main point is US is changing presidents on 1/20/21. With or without Trump's support/attendance

That's democracy.

Way different from whatever Mugabe was practicing
But you can keep on missing him though
