Fired Navy Chief Rebukes President Trump, Defends Handling Of Navy SEAL Case | MTP Daily | MSNBC
t’rump claiming to be an expert on honor and duty is like OJ Simpson saying he has great marriage advice for you.
Hehehe 🤣 🤣😎 Good One!!!
Trump has started throwing Giuliani under-the-bus, take a look TYT reports.
It’s on Hardball too.
An immoral man like Trump, who clearly has no honor, is naturally drawn to other men like Eddie Gallagher, who has no honor.
On the flip side, Trump has nothing but contempt for men and women of honor, like General Mattis, John McCain, Lt.Col. Vindman, Ambassador Bill Taylor, Ambassador Yovanovitch, and Dr. Fiona Hill.
Trump wants people around him who will throw their morals, principles, and integrity out the window whenever he demands it. Ultimately, Trump wants people around him who will always choose him, over the oaths that they have taken.
It’s good to see such high level members of the military stand up to Trump. The chain of command is so important and Captain Bonespurs has no idea what he is doing or what that chain of command means for the military.
Please keep standing up to this tyrant. I have commented on this and frankly this really scares me. Our country is better than this administration and it’s warped sense of right and wrong.
Our country is counting on the nonpartisans to stand strong and not give into a king wannabe.
not his first time to outrageously stick his twitter in judicial process where it never belongs
Draft Dodger needs to sit down and be quiet,he has no leg to stand on here.Draft Dodger full stop.
Low life ANIMAL! is our President.
Pretty soon military officers will be murdering each other a high rate thanks to Trump.
Trump: “I will always protect our great war criminals. I’ve got your backs.”
Trump is going to start pimpin-out his new shoeshine boy Gallagher at rallies during his campaign. And he will then toss him in the trash as soon as he has outlived his usefulness.
So many bone spurs, so few brain cells.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer was not fired, HE RESIGNED!. Other Secretaries need to speak out or loose their ability to discipline!
Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords because he doesn’t believe in climate change. I wonder if he’ll pull us out of the Geneva Convention because he doesn’t believe in war crimes.
Trump’s mission is to destroy the USA for Putin. Simple as that

There’s no good reason to believe otherwise.
Great report. Can you please replace your chuck todd “hello youtubers” with something else. He is such a putz.
Trump is the Opposite of a Leader.
But it’s ok for an FBI agent to lose his pension because of an investigation into a corrupt President? Yea, that sounds about right.
Donald Trump got his wish, he’ll soon take the three convicted or accused war criminals he spared from consequence on the road as special guests in his reelection campaign.
Wait for it😒
👉 Trump’s “plan” for 2020 elections when he loses is declare “voter fraud” and use Executive Order to over rule election results, seize voting machines and declare republicans majority. It is the only way he can stay out of prison and republican party will go along because it is the only way they can keep majority Senate. Trump contest the most obvious court rulings all the way to the SCOTUS as policy. He believes that he can count on US military to put down millions of Americans protesting Trump over-ruling legitimate elections *but problem is 1- Trump has put US Military and EU and UN and Ukraine in harm’s way and only to satisfy his greed for power and republican party is equally guilty for allowing him to do it. US military would be making a big mistake to back Trump and 2- US Military High Ranking Officers has sworn an Oath to defend and protect US Constitution NOT Trump NEITHER Republican Party. And if US Military High Ranking Officers doesn’t honor their Oath then US has much bigger problem than Trump.*
👇
*US Military Officers, especially at higher ranks,* have a unique position of authority and influence within the organization that could be taken advantage of for political gain. *Swearing loyalty to the Constitution instead of the president or any other person means that officials cannot manipulate officers in order to gain control over the military and become dictators.*
This is the purpose behind the Oath of Office allowing for the disobedience to unlawful orders.
*The intent is to ensure our military fights in defense of the people and their way of life instead of being misused for political gain..*
*The officer’s oath acts as another safeguard against power corruption by not swearing obedience to the president or other officials, but rather to the Constitution.*
👉When you have people, you put them first. You do not just up and quit. *”Oath never expires”* 👈
