THE PRESIDENT IS THE PRESIDENT. HIS APPOINTEES ARE HIS APPOINTEES. Trump Considers Ousting Air Force Head Over Space Force Pushback: The president appears to be tired of Pentagon officials slow rolling his orders.
U.S. President Donald Trump is peeved with Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson over her handling of his directive to stand up a separate Space Force in the U.S. military, and he’s considering ousting her after the midterm elections, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Foreign Policy.
Wilson, a former Republican congresswoman from New Mexico, recently angered Trump as well as Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, Defense Secretary James Mattis’s second in command, with what is seen as a campaign to undermine the Space Force effort, the sources said.
Like I said, the President is the President, and his appointees are his appointees.
