In a decisive and assertive move, former President Donald Trump has publicly called on President Joe Biden to dismiss Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin over the delayed disclosure of his hospitalization. Trump utilized his Truth Social platform on Sunday to deliver a forceful declaration, stating, "Failed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin should be terminated immediately for improper professional conduct and dereliction of duty. He has been absent for a week, leaving everyone, including his superior, Crooked Joe Biden, in the dark about his whereabouts. Austin's subpar performance warrants his prompt removal, along with 'General' Mark Milley, especially in light of the disastrous Afghanistan surrender—an embarrassment in our country's history!"
According to the reliable Breitbart News, Lloyd Austin kept his hospitalization undisclosed for several days, causing a stir in the nation's capital. Washington was gripped by shock as details emerged about Austin's admission to the intensive care unit without informing the president, the national security adviser, Congress members, or the public. This revelation not only raises serious questions about Austin's judgment but also questions how President Biden remained unaware of his defense secretary's partial incapacitation for an extended period. This situation is particularly concerning given the escalating tensions between U.S. troops and Iran-backed proxy groups in the Middle East, potentially leading to a major crisis.
Trump speaks like a Commander in Chief.

Further complicating matters, the Pentagon has chosen to remain tight-lipped about the exact reason behind Austin's hospitalization, citing a need for "privacy." In response, Austin issued a statement on Saturday admitting that he could have been more transparent with the public. "I commit to doing better," he stated. "But this is important to say: this was my medical procedure, and I take full responsibility for my decisions about disclosure."
Austin's handling of his hospitalization undeniably raises legitimate concerns about his suitability for the role of Secretary of Defense. The American people deserve transparency and strong leadership, qualities seemingly lacking in the current administration. With the haunting memories of the Afghanistan surrender, President Biden should seriously consider heeding Trump's call to remove Austin from this pivotal position, as our national security and the reputation of our great nation hinge on it.
