Mark Esper's new memoir offers some details worth keeping in mind as Trump weighs another presidential run.
that as demonstrators gathered around the White House in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, Trump asked, ”Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?” It was a “surreal [moment], sitting in front of the Resolute desk, inside the Oval Office, with this idea weighing heavily in the air, and the president red faced and complaining loudly about the protests under way in Washington, D.C.,” according to Esper.
The book was vetted at the highest levels of the Pentagon.… As part of the clearance process, the book was reviewed in whole or in part by nearly three dozen four-star generals, senior civilians, and some Cabinet members. Some of them had witnessed what Esper witnessed. So yeah, the prospect of all of these high-ranking people at the Pentagon reading the part about Trump wanting to shoot civilians and being like, ‘Yeah, checks out,’ is more than a little concerning. Especially given the possibility of his running for office again and, God forbid, winning.
