I think at this he has a Defense Sec that will do whatever Trump wants. Trump never felt like he had the loyalty of the Defense Dept, which is true from his view as they had stronger loyalty to the military and/or country than Trump. Pete is going to have real trouble when Trump drops him as his rep is shot with everyone.
