Trump's controversial confession about Pete Guest, the US Secretary of War Donald Trump has admitted that some people want to get rid of Pete Guest, the US Secretary of War. He admitted that after Tuesday's disastrous election, he received many phone calls criticizing the war minister's performance. The New York Post reported that some Republicans believe Guest should be removed from office. From their point of view, the Secretary of War is a suitable option to portray as the culprit of the heavy defeat of the Republicans in the midterm elections. Many experts believe that voters' negative reaction to America's highly unpopular war against Iran played a role in this election disaster.
