I have a serious and fair question. Although a President of the United States inherits the title and responsibility of Commander-in Chief of the armed forces, should a draft dodger become involved with the internal affairs of the Pentagon related to how discipline is administered?

The situation concerning Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher is unforgivable. Trump reads nothing, including the President’s Daily Brief. His “knowledge” about what happens in America and the world comes entirely from FOX Noise and conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones. Trump knows nothing, is nothing, and will never be anything of importance. He is a boil on the rear end of America. Once he is removed, our nation can begin to heal its wounds.

Meanwhile, back at the Pentagon, the Secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer was forced to resign. It was discovered that he and Trump had arranged a ‘back door’ channel in a failed attempt to appease Trump’s desire to protect Gallagher.

Gallagher’s most recent cause for discipline is based on an incident unworthy of a Navy Seal. He is alleged to have posed for a photograph with the body of an ISIS fighter. Past incidences include murder and attempted murder for which he was acquitted.

Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, was “flabbergasted” when he learned of the efforts to create a ‘back door’ communications link with the White House.

I am reminded of the efforts of Jared Kushner. During the 2016 campaign Trump’s incompetent son-in-law was given the task of creating a ‘back channel’ between Trump and Vladimir Putin in the Seychelles Islands. Of course, he failed, and every member of the Trump Klan always does.

“We had no knowledge whatsoever” of Spencer’s proposal to the White House, Esper told reporters at the Pentagon on Monday. “We were flabbergasted by it, and quite surprised and caught completely off guard.”

Throughout his pitiful and useless existence on this planet Trump relied on secrecy and subterfuge to survive. The truth is his greatest enemy and his survival depends upon an uninformed public; hiding the facts.

A final note; Trump disrespected our military leaders with this traitorous statement.

“Somebody has their back, and it’s called the President of the US, OK?” Trump said in the Oval Office, adding, “I think what I’m doing is sticking up for our armed forces.”

Sad, so sad. We, the real American people deserve much better.
