According to a new book written by Defence Secretary, Donald Trump said if they launched missiles into Mexico, ‘no one would know it was us.’
Donald Trump once asked his Defense Secretary if they could launch missiles into Mexico, and suggested no one would know it came from the US
‘We could just shoot some Patriot missiles and take out the labs, quietly,’ Trump said, according to the upcoming book, A Sacred Oath, written by former Defense Secretary Mark Esper. When massive protests against police brutality broke out following the police killing of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man in Minneapolis, Trump wanted to place 10,000 active-duty troops on the streets of DC to deter the gatherings.
In his book, Esper writes that he never believed they needed to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would remove the President from office, but portrays Trump as a chaotic leader.
