Trump fires Pentagon chief, preparing for military coup against …

WASHINGTON – President United States of America (AS) Donald trump reform the Pentagon, including firing Defense Secretary Mark Esper for the remainder of his days in power.

The maneuvers of the current Republican presidential candidate who lost the US presidential election (pilpres) sparked fears that this was in preparation for a military coup against President-elect Joe Biden of the Democratic Party.

There are also allegations that Trump’s actions are part of an effort to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan to end what Trump calls a never-ending war of US troops abroad. (Read: Panic with the results of the US presidential elections, Donald Trump Jr calls for all-out war)

In addition to Esper, whom Trump fired on Monday, Esper’s chief of staff Jennifer Stewart, Acting Policy Director (PLT) James Anderson and Under Secretary of Intelligence Joseph Kernan were also removed from office. They were replaced by the National Security Council (NSC) counterterrorism chief Christopher Miller, several former NSC aides, including Gen. Anthony Tata and Ezra Cohen-Watnick.

The purge and the appointment of Pentagon officials widely described in mainstream media as “Trump loyalists” have prompted Democrats and neocons to warn that a military coup could be underway against Joe Biden, who claimed victory in the presidential elections on November 3.

Leaving the possibility that Trump could act out of resentment against those who were not loyal to him, Michael Klare of The Nation noted that Miller had been involved in covert operations in urban Iraqi and Afghan settings with the US Special Forces.

“Democrats must seek evidence that the Pentagon purge indicates a secret plan by the White House to use the US military to support illegal attempts to subvert democracy and install Trump as a dictator,” Klare said.

However, the appointment of retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor as Miller’s top adviser on Wednesday took a completely different direction. First reported by Axios, it was confirmed by the Pentagon at a later date, with a statement indicating that Macgregor’s decades of military experience would be used to aid in the continued implementation of the president’s national security priorities.
