## Resource

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper dropped a bombshell Sunday, revealing President Trump often received unsound advice from his inner circle — a damning insight from someone who sat right in the room during critical moments. His comments reignite long-standing questions about the quality of counsel Trump received, highlighting how flawed decision-making at the top can ripple through government and global affairs. Esper’s candid reflections, part of his broader reckoning with his time in the administration, offer a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the high-stakes chaos of presidential leadership — where having the right advisors isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
