In a comment contradicting former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, former President Donald Trump said he
not Esper, was in charge of the U.S. military.
The forthcoming book describes Esper's interactions with the former president about local and global security.
Esper contends, among other things, that Trump planned to attack Mexico to fight drug cartels. In addition, he wanted to implement the Rebellion Act and deploy millions of troops on the streets to "Black Lives Matter" marches.
However, according to Trump, Esper was
"very weak" and "because of that, I had to run the military."
In addition, the former President boasted that he had spent $2.5 trillion on the United States military and "created the Space Force." Trump continued by calling Esper "stiff" and "yes man."
Trump, known for generating titles such as "Lyin 'Ted" and "Little Marco", is trying to get his nickname "Yesper" stuck in everyone's mind.
Trump said when asked about Esper's phone call to Mark Meadows and claimed he was fired because he wasn't loyal enough to Trump.
Trump continues by saying he never considered passing the Insurrection Act in response to follow-up questioning. He didn't answer if he wanted to.
