On Sunday’s episode of “60 Minutes,”<\/em> Donald Trump’s former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, was interviewed to discuss some of the explosive accounts of Trump’s unstable and dangerous behavior as president that Esper disclosed in his book, “A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Secretary of Defense During Extraordinary Times<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Esper appeared on 60 Minutes to promote the book that he said he wrote “to tell the story about things we prevented. Really bad things. Dangerous things that could have taken the country a dark direction.”<\/em> Among those things were that Trump sought to conduct military strikes against Venezuela and Iran, and to blockade Cuba. Esper also revealed that Trump had asked him about using the military to attack American citizens engaging in peaceful protests. “Can’t you just shoot them?”<\/em> Trump asked Esper. “Just shoot them in the legs or something.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It was that latter heinous suggestion that Trump responded to in a laughably demented letter to “60 Minutes.”<\/em> Esper was asked about a cabinet meeting at the White House where Trump indicated that he “wanted to shoot some of the protesters in the legs, a lot of foul language was used and accused president Trump of calling members of the cabinet ‘f’ing losers.'”<\/em><\/p>\n
