It may not have been made by Dear Leader, but you can be sure that, at a minimum, it was made because someone was afraid that Dear Leader would want it so, and that their own neck would be next on the line.
"The Navy removed Crozier after becoming increasingly convinced that he was involved in leaking the letter to the media to force the service to address his concerns, a defense official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue." Washington Post article

And Gallagher got his trident back....somebody explain to me how this works....
A Republican politician ...
1. ... makes decisions to appeal to his base, a base that applauds the macho of standing on the body of a dead foe and defacing it (a war crime ... which appeals to the current GOP mindset of macho virtue),
2. ... leaves the bulk of decision making positions in the hands of "actings" whose careerism dominates any morality they might have learned in their upbringing (I have my doubts that they actually learned any morality that ethical people might recognize, but I digress). These careerists are exquisitely attuned to every potential slight that their boss might conceivably feel and act preemptively to win approval in that politician's mind.

When president Biden is sworn in (fingers crossed), the first order of business for his new Secretary of the Navy is reinstating Crozier to his original position on the seniority list and offering him a plum command. Presuming he survives the disease, of course.
