When does he order the troops in?

I'm being serious. I would NEVER put that past him?

1. That's what I'm afraid of!

2. earlier I commented on a post about Esper resigning.

I was wondering if he did because Trump actually was asking him to do just that.

3. He only has the letter drafted. Hasn't resigned yet.

Which means he will likely wait until Trump announces something and he will resign publicly and say why.

4. I don't think the Joint Chiefs of Staff would comply with that order.

Like you, I believe that Espy was requested to do just that, and he said "I'm gone."

7. Don't put anything past a madman.

I don't. I'm not saying it will happen. I hope the military has enough backbone to honor their oaths. We shall see.

8. Who were the troops in Portland Oregon. Private militia?

Erik Prince's private militia? They didn't wear any name tags or insignia. But they seemed more than ready to attack whoever they were told to attack.

There are a lot of people who would gladly fight for Trump. And Trump would gladly use them.
