Trump Wanted To Bomb Mexico Then Deny Responsibility For It

According to Donald Trump's former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Trump wanted to bomb the country of Mexico in order to destroy "drug labs" and then deny that it was the US that did the bombing. Obviously this idea never became a reality, but this admission shows just how mad Trump had become with the power that he had as President. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Former defense secretary, mark Esper, who of course served under Donald Trump has a new book coming out this coming Tuesday. So as is always the case before the book comes out, we get the slow trickle of damning information about how horrible Donald Trump was. And of course, late this past week, we got a new revelation from mark Esper that is of course included in his book. And that revelation is that Donald Trump wanted to shoot missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs as he called them. But don't worry. Folks. Trump was confident according to Esper that, you know, nobody was gonna know it was us, right? I mean, they're not gonna be able to see that we fired the missiles and attacked a sovereign nation, which in, in, in that, what Russia did to Ukraine and Donald Trump wanted to do that to Mexico folks, Donald Trump wanted to launch a military strike against Mexico. And luckily of course the plan never came to fruition. But let me read, uh, according to Esper what Trump said, they don't have control of their own country. We, we could just shoot some Patriot missiles and take out the labs quietly. No one would know it was us.

Now I'll, I'll, I'll get to how deranged this is in just a moment, but let's, let's focus first on just the sheer stupidity of this. Okay. Now Mexico may not have as an advanced military as we do. They don't have all the same tricks and tools and stuff, but they do have a modern military. They're gonna be able to find out probably within a matter of seconds where missiles that hit their country came from. In fact, they're probably gonna be able to know before the missiles, even, you know, hit the drug labs that missiles have been fired at their country. I, I, I don't know what Donald Trump is thinking here. Like where were you gonna shoot the missiles from? You know, if you shoot 'em from mainland United States, they're, they're gonna be able to see that coming. And they're gonna, you know, see the point of origin.

If you fly us fighter jets over there, there's gonna be a record of that. And we're gonna know all of us in the United States, excuse me. And in Mexico, they're gonna know that these planes that you send in drop the missiles, people will literally see it happening. Okay? That's not a big mystery. If you do it from a ship, same thing. So what were you gonna do? Go like plant the missiles in another country, maybe get one of our allies like, Hey, can we borrow a couple of your planes real quick? We just need something that doesn't say United States air force audit. Just, don't worry about why we're just, you know, you gotta do a thing real quick and we just need to borrow your jet, man. The sheer stupidity of this, like they're not gonna know with, to this man should be committed. In my opinion, like you can't be that stupid and still be allowed to be the president of the United States.

No, you need to go talk to the men in the white coats at that point. And of course just the sheer psychopathy of all of this, right? I mean, you wanted to attack a sovereign nation and let's be very clear here. He proposed this idea. Everybody else shot it down. But if he had said, I don't care do it anyway, it would've happened. He is after all the commander in chief of the United States, military and that's, what's so terrifying about this. What's even more terrifying of course, is the fact that this man wants to get back into the white house.

What also me off of course is the fact that ESER could have leaked this when it happened. ESER could have come forward at any point. Like so many others like bill BARR and all these revelations about all the horrible things that happened, that all of these former, you know, cabinet officials have put out in their books. They sat on this information, this damaging information, showing an unhinged president. They sat on it so they could sell books. So folks, I say, wait for the leaks, okay, don't waste your time or money buying this crap for somebody who knowingly put the country in danger by leaving a Luna tick in office, just so they could make a quick buck off the book when the administration ended.
