A retired Navy admiral spoke out against President Trump Thursday over Trump’s move to strip former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance.
Calling Brennan “one of the finest public servants I have ever known,” Ret. Navy Adm. William McRaven told Trump in a Washington Post op-ed, “Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.”

lol. That’s some a-level trolling right there.
Hopefully his sentiments go right on down the line with lesser ranked naval staff.
Just read his letter to Trump. He concludes:
Impossible. Trump lacks the maturity, intelligence and experience to become such a leader. He is a self-absorbed, ignorant, mean-spirited child.
The criticism will continue until he’s out.
Keep it up Trump
You’re pissing off everyone in the Military and Security apparatus
This will not end well for you
Senior folks in uniform have a long, long personal history of putting their head down and trying to ignore whether or not they agree with the guy in charge. Their patience (and capacity for hope) are extreme. But they do have limits.
Keep shitting on the brass. That’s a brilliant idea.
