The security establishment is rising in open defiance of President Trump right now. And its timing tells us a great deal about the nature of its opposition. jonathanchait writes
Photo: Jim Lo Scalzo/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Of all the three main wings of the Republican Party, the national security establishment has always been the most difficult for Donald Trump to tame. Unlike the social and economic conservatives, who received carte blanche to get all the judges and tax cuts they could, the foreign policy conservatives have frequently lost power struggles over policy. They also reside in a field that, unlike domestic policy, still retains some vestiges of bipartisanship.
In the several days since Trump had police forcefully clear out a peaceful protest from Lafayette Square, the following has occurred: Former defense secretary James Matthis wrote an op-ed going even farther than Mullen’s, denouncing Trump as disrespectful of the Constitution and emotionally unfit for the job of president.
Esper sent home hundreds of troops from the 82nd Airborne Division, in defiance of Trump’s desire to militarize the response. And today, David Ignatius reports that Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke out forcefully to Trump in the Oval Office against the president’s plan to use the military to curtail protest.
