Donald Trump likes to tell his supporters that he is a soldier and a fearless champion that has always been supported by his own support. However, this guarantee is obviously not suitable for those who work for him when they are threatened by foreign assassins. Former Chairman Mark Milley, former chairman of Mark Milley, former national security adviser John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Pompeo Assistant Brian Hook ) Both Brian Hook made political retribution. They are also the goal of Iranians, but the Tehran regime marked everyone as death.
The president may destroy the battle with professional bureaucrats and Professor "Awakening", but when he talked about the Iranian assassin, he was willing to leave the person who executed the order. Milley, Bolton, Pompeo and HOOK all served among Trump's first government (he appointed their position), when the United States was in January 2020 When a strike killed the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, they were part of the Trump National Security Team. In 2022, an Iranian citizen was arrested and was accused of trying to arrange Bolton's murder. U.S. intelligence staff believed that other officials (including Trump himself) were awarded because they participated in killing Soleimani.
The Bayeng government introduced these threats to the Trump administration, and authorized to protect the safety details of Bolton and others. Last week, Trump deleted the details of protecting Bolton, Pompeii and Hook. Yesterday, the Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth dismissed the guards around Milley and announced that he would investigate Milley to destroy the command chain during the first term of Trump. Trump also revoked the security permits held by all four men.
The withdrawal of security permits is trivial, but it harms the government than any of these people. Keeping permits help the former federal employees to find a job in the consultation community, and after leaving government services, they insist on it typically. (When I leave the Navy War Academy, I have the opportunity to leave my chance.) However, in more advanced places, the customs clearance allows people in the government to get suggestions from previous leaders. Although Trump himself is unlikely to care about this possibility, some of them may have great help to Trump's employees.
However, deleting security details may have fatal consequences. The Iranians seem to be determined to seek revenge for killing Soleimani, and sooner or later they may succeed. ("Iranians are not good, but they are very enthusiastic," an official of the former Pentagon said in October: "Of course, they only need to be lucky once." Moreover, Iranians are not the only threat; A terrible way to attack the country.
Trump attaches great importance to such a threat he Very concerned. When officials in Biden reminded Trump's danger to Iran, Trump asked the US government to provide more security during the campaign. "New York Times", He even asked to distribute military assets to protect him, which is usually only provided to the current president.
However, fewer mortals must resist themselves: Trump and Hergus not only canceled the security details of these former decision makers, but also promoted this. People who solve these scores will not encounter trouble from the current White House. (Trump also canceled the protection of Anthony Fauci, 84. It is not surprising that he has no obvious problems to suffer themselves in danger. They were shocked and tried to make Trump reverse the road. Sin.
At another time, Americans will be able to meet the aggression of the agent of one of the most dedicated enemies. Nowadays, most citizens do not seem to realize that they are either exposed their predecessors to their predecessors. However, it should be clearly speaking that there is no ambiguous words: President Trump will be responsible for any damage that foreign actors may cause.
This far exceeds Trump's usual darlings. He has always believed that the vows of federal services only swore to his loyalty, and he has always been willing to threaten his opponents. (In 2018, he obviously considered the former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul to Moscow, which caused today's anger. If they crossed him: he will not only humiliate and fired them, but also He will also suffer actual physical danger.
This upgrade of Trump's fighting should be a very personal warning to anyone willing to work for him during the second term. The Pentagon, the State Council, the Central Intelligence Bureau, the National Security Council, and the senior officials of the National Security Council and other organizations compete with the representatives of some of the most dangerous countries on the planet, and contribute these regimes to opposition. In the past, these officials could do this, knowing that their government would make everything possible to make them and their family and foreign agents safe. As one of Bolton's former representative, Charles Kupperman told era: "Trump's national security team must provide guidance based on the assessment of measures that they do not consider personal security."
Good luck. No one is engaged in the work of national defense or national security affairs. It can be believed that when Trump ordered them to cross many enemies in the United States, he would protect them from the infringement of foreign revenge. Trump has clearly stated that if they happen to make him dissatisfied, he will give up the adventure of the service in the United States (that is, follow his order). (Or there is no obvious reason at all in the case of Pompeii and Hook.) Hergseth (Hegseth. But Trump knows it is better. He is a survivor of assassination and attempt. When he thinks that the Iranians are for him There is not enough safety when shooting.
People are still considering whether people who serve Trump have no fantasies waiting for them. Real leaders are responsible for their team. Trump is not such a leader. He rose for a while, putting other Americans in danger, and then, as he was famous for his last term, he did not bear any responsibility.
