'SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!' Trump Torches Lloyd Austin for Going MIA

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.08.24

Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is calling on the Biden Administration to fire Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin after he went missing for a week.

“He has been missing for one week, and nobody, including his boss, Crooked Joe Biden, had a clue as to where he was or might be,” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday.

“He has performed poorly and should have been dismissed along with ‘General’ Mark Milley, for many reasons, but in particular, the catastrophic surrender in Afghanistan, perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our Country,” Trump added.

From The New York Post:

Trump’s pointed comments came as it was revealed that not even Austin’s deputy, Kathleen Hicks, was told that the secretary of defense was rushed to the intensive care unit of Walter Reed Army Medical Center on New Year’s Day, CNN reports.

He also failed to inform President Biden for three days that he was in the hospital and had assigned at least some of his duties to Hicks, who was on a scheduled vacation in Puerto Rico.

But it remains unclear the extent to which Austin’s duties were delegated to Hicks or whether Austin was involved in any major decisions while at the hospital.
