“I think [Trump] is unfit for the presidency… As somebody who worked directly for him… I don’t think he’s the right person for our country. And so I will not be supporting him,” says former Def Sec Dr. Mark T. Esper. If voters “don’t know who he is, they’ve been asleep in a cave.”
“In Ukraine, it’s always been ‘too little, too late’ too often,” says former US Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper. House Republicans “have been neglectful in providing this aid.”
“Nobody wants a wider regional war. But we arguably are on the precipice of that right now,” says former US Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper.
