WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Tuesday he would not vote for Donald Trump in 2024 if the Republican former president runs again, saying Trump lacked integrity and would not put the United States ahead of his own personal interests.

Asked if he would vote for Trump in 2024, Esper told MSNBC, "No," making him one of the first Trump Cabinet members to openly reject their former boss for another White House run.

"Any elected official needs to meet some basic criteria: They need to be able to put country over self. They need to have a certain level of integrity and principle. They need to be able to reach across the aisle and bring people together and unite the country. Donald Trump doesn't meet those marks for me," he said.

Trump, who lost his re-election bid to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, has not declared his candidacy but has repeatedly said his supporters will be "happy."

Moscow Mitch and Billy Barr have said they'd still vote for Trump in spite of all the bullshit he's pulled. Esper deserves a lot of criticism but he's right in this case.

2. Oh fuck all the way off Mark...

You are a coward and should have resigned LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG before the final days of that excremental administration. You're silence was consent and YOU are likewise unfit for office as a result of it.

Oh, and your "4 priorities"? Shove them straight up your ass like anal beads clown.

Strong military? For WHAT? or more to the point for WHOM??? To continue the suicidal funding of Empire USA? How about the billionaire owners and CEOs of corporations spend THEIR fucking money on armed forces to exploit other nations? I am tired of them using MY MONEY...I want to fund the military LESS than they want to avoid federal funds for abortions...fuck this priority.

Lower taxes? ...better check with Arch-criminal and Thief, Senator Scott...is plan is not lower taxes for most - its lower taxes for ONLY the donor class...eeryone else? They're as fucked as this priority.

Deregulation? What industry is suffering under ANYTHING CLOSE to onerous regulations at this point? I thionk you need to have Trump's mental acuity test performed on you...Person, Man Woman, Camera....oh fuck this priority too.


Conservative judges? No explanation needed if you have been paying attention at all since last week...fuck this priority twice and then backwards with rusty garden tools and a rubbing alcohol rinse and salt rub for good measure.
