Trump Fires Esper

Why bother at this point?

1. Simple revenge? Actually probably helps Esper's resume.

2. Have a suck-up in place so Trump can ....

I worry about #2.

Yeah, well that's when we see whether the military is loyal to I-1 or to the Constitution.

Ugh. I sure hope it doesn't come to that.

The sort of plausible "worst case" I can imagine would be Trump wants to inject the military into the electoral process (e.g., get the military to do or monitor the recounts or get the military to guard the various election offices or where the recounts are being done), and Esper rejected that sort of ideas outright.

Anyway, will wait to learn the rationale before passing judgment.
