He fired qualified military leaders and hired smaller people who were devoted to him. If you are wondering where everything is going: get ready for the autocracy.

In the last term, Donald Trump raised a military leader from a macho, a border nickname: he made a four -star Maritime General Jim “Crazy Dog”, his defense minister. But Matis, who was highly qualified for work, hated the nickname and eventually hated work with the legislative Trump and resigned.
Trump has now been chosen by Lieutenant -Lieutenant Dan “Razin” Kane to head joint chiefs of staff. The only qualification of “Razin ‘Cain” is what he is white. He also hugged his nickname.
As depending on The story pressHe was “most recently deputy director of military affairs in the CIA.” Although since then he has worked in hedge funds related to the cry Trump loves. The AP continues: “(Caine) did not have key tasks intended for the law as a prerequisites for work, including acting either the deputy chairman, commander of the combat, or the chief of the service.” Otherwise, Kane is unoccupied.
Ideal!
On Friday night, a massacre over the leading military leaders, including the second black man (after Colin Powell), who ran the joint chiefs, four-star Air Force Pilots Charles K. Brown and the first secretary of the Navy Lisa FrancyAfter shooting Linda Fogan’s chief, he said that he was exposing “Dei”. In reality, this pulls out rigid competence.
Earlier in a sexy drunkard who took on the defense, he wrote and talked about his neglectful to Brown earlier: “First of all, you have to fire, you know, you have to dismiss the chairman of the joint chiefs,” he said in the past in the past Year. In one of his books, he asked if Brown was settled because he was black.
Current Issue
“Was it out of the skin color? Or his skill? We will never know, but always doubt that his face seems unjust to CQ. But since he made a racing map of one of the biggest business cards, it really doesn’t matter, “Ggset wrote.
The joint main chairmen usually remain in place when the administrations change. Not this administration.
I am not fangirl of the military. I do not look at them as our guarantor of freedom. After all, I’m a left journalist. But let’s take: it’s one of the best. And Trump will replace them with some of the worst. Just as he chose Gegset.
Hegset also fired the chief judges (JGGS) who decided violation of the rules in the Navy, Army and the Air Force. It has never been done before. In order not to give up a minor bureaucratic step, they weigh when military officers or staff violate laws or rules of participation in the US. According to Senator Jack Reid, “the dismissal of the oldest legal advisers of the military is an unprecedented and obvious step to install the officers who will be inferior to the interpretation of the President’s law, with the expectation that they will be a little more than men on the next issues of military law.”
But Gegset replied“Ultimately, we want the lawyers who give reasoned constitutional tips and do not exist to try to be the checkpoints to everything that happens.”
Of course, hege (neither Trump) notes that Trump nominated Brown by the Chief of the Air Force staff. He welcomed his own decision to appoint “the first in the history of Africa’s military service” and called the general “a patriot and a great leader.”
It was then.
If you are wondering where we are going, all the dismissal in all agencies is bad. And the whole point is great.
But these firing is actually the worst. If you had doubts that Trump’s team is preparing for the autocracy, please no longer. Please prepare accordingly. It’s very scary.
