Member of the JOINT CHIEFS researched the 25th Amendment for removing a president from office after red-faced Trump's 'twenty-minute tirade' about Afghanistan, former Defense chief Mark Esper writes in new book

One of the nation's top military officers was so concerned about former President Donald Trump's red-faced 'tirade' about Afghanistan that he began researching the 25th Amendment on removing a president from office, former Pentagon boss Mark Esper writes in his new book.
The development came after Trump made the 'stupid' decision to make false and 'baseless' claims about the military in front of the top assembled military chiefs during a White House meeting.
It was a performance Esper termed 'reprehensible,' and prompted side conversations among the military brass.
Esper wasn't the only person present who was gobsmacked.
