Trump erupted over Esper's de facto ban on Confederate flag, sources say

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump erupted late last week after Defense Secretary Mark Esper issued a new military-wide directive that was a de facto ban on the display of the Confederate flag.

According to two people familiar with his reaction, Trump was fuming over Esper's carefully worded memo that did not mention the flag by name, but effectively banned it from being flown on military installations by not naming it.

Trump has declined to denounce the Confederate flag in recent weeks and has instead said those who see it as a source of pride should be able to continue flying it.

Two separate people who have spoken with the President in the following days said they believe Esper's job remains safe for now, though the relationship between the two has significantly deteriorated in recent months.

1. Ah,

General Cornwall Duferounomous Trump declares, "The South shall rise again!"

It makes sense that a treasonous, rogue President would have an affinity for the Confederate flag since is IS a CONfederate now, waging a war on the Union quite literally.

I didn't really think the next Civil War would go quite like this. It didn't seem at all feasible considering the demographics now. The Trump Regime has found a way to start one right from the White House though.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! S.O.S. The President's hostile, occupying forces are being deployed.

12. Okay, so this week he's "erupting." Which I guess is a step up from "fuming."

Which I think is more dire than "simmering," which isn't as bad as "raging." And "lashing out" has to fit in there somewhere.

Such a 5-year-old drama queen. Can't they slip a few overdoses of Xanax in with his hourly doses of hydroxychloroquine-with-a-Clorox-chaser?

Have pity on the newsies. They're running out of ways to describe "terminal constipation."
