Trump was furious after Defense Secretary Esper barred the Confederate flag from military
President Donald Trump was reportedly furious after Defense Secretary Mark Esper effectively banned the Confederate flag on military bases, CNN reported.
CNN reported that while Esper did not outright mention the flag by name, the new de-facto ban would stop the flag from being displayed on military bases.
Trump has previously defended the flag. In an interview with CBS News earlier this month, Trump said: "Well, people love it, and I don't view — I know people that like the Confederate flag and they're not thinking about slavery."
Business Insider highlighted that: "Confederate leaders explicitly laid out in their constitution that the main goal of the Confederacy was to preserve slavery.
