As a litmus test for Trump support across his former hand-picked staff, former Trump Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said there is "no way" he is voting for Russia's and Jeffrey Epstein's Donald Trump, emphasizing he is "definitely not voting for Trump", and that every time Trump does something "crazy", Esper opens the door a little more to voting for Biden -- because Trump is a "threat to democracy'".
""I’m definitely not voting for Trump ... There’s no way I’ll vote for Trump, but every day that Trump does something crazy, the door to voting for Biden opens a little bit more, and that’s where I’m at ... Esper said." Esper had explained his fears about Trump being a “threat to democracy.”"

Accordingly, the person responsible for defending our country against enemies of the United States, refuses to endorse the person who hand-picked him to do the same -- Donald Trump -- who is an enemy of the United States as a matter of established law concerning treason, sedition, insurrection, terrorism, espionage, elections fraud, and/or other laws -- because Trump's former Defense Secretary believes that Trump is a "threat to democracy".
It would be hard for anyone to claim that a Trump pick for the Secretary of Defense is a "left wing radical, Marxist, socialist, and/or communist", but yet it would be really easy to correct Trump's lies, and specify that he and the GOP are the ones acting like privatized Marxists, socialists, and/or communists in right wing radical manner.
This comes on the heels of Stephanie Grisham specifying that Trump was coaching staff how to further his lies, to be able to deceive the Republican Party base into supporting him based on lies, which Washington Post has measured as being as frequent as 20 lies per day, making him a contender for the Bible's Great Deceiver (Satan).
""He knows he's lying," Grisham said. "He used to tell me when I was press secretary, go out there and say it. It doesn't matter, Stephanie. Say it over and over and over again. People will believe it. He knows his base believes in hime knows his base believes in him. He knows he can basically say anything, and his base will believe what he's saying.""
Trump's own attorneys have debunked his Russia "hoax" narrative in court, and in front of Congress, one of Trump's chief obstructors of justice, "special" counsel John Durham, affirmed to Adam Schiff that Trump and the GOP did conspire with an enemy (Russia, Putin, Alfa Bank, Rosneft, and/or others) of the United States to cheat (elections fraud) in the 2016 elections (which immediately disqualified Trump and the GOP forever before the 2016 elections, and thus thereafter, which they concealed to defraud America some more, and now perfectly explaining their radicalization and their radicalization and corruption of others, in a bid to evade prosecution, and in a bid to employ executive privileges, pardons, clemency, executive orders, SCOTUS, and other judges they disqualified themselves for and forfeited their offices to benefit from in an ongoing RICO conspiracy, now seeking to self-legitimize in violation of the Constitution through a corrupted SCOTUS and judges they did not legitimately appoint, nominate, nor confirm.
Accordingly, like many tests Trump has taken, he's failing the litmus test among those he picked to be loyal to him over the law, and with good reason -- they don't want to be implicated in his, Putin's, Russia's, and Jeffrey Epstein's ongoing organized crime syndicate and bid to overthrow America -- to remain in power over the justice system and law forever, to use the same as their personal play things, so they can violate the law, steal taxpayer funds, evade paying taxes themselves, keep going after anyone trying to stop them, and to keep getting away with the same.
Because Trump is using campaign funds to pay for his personal legal problems, this is leaving Republicans running for office across the country short on campaign funds and campaign staff, compounded by small donors flocking to Biden as another litmus test as to who the people aren't going to vote for, again (Trump has actually never won an election by popular vote, and where Putin's Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted before his death that Russia did interfere in the elections -- to "engineer" Trump and the GOP into office, as plotted by Felix Sater 11/03/2015, and officially approved by Putin in January 2016). The reason Trump isn't attracting the bulk of small donors is that the majority didn't want him in office in 2016, nor in 2020, and they still don't want him in office in 2024, is a reasonable inference.

As yet another litmus test, more and more mail-in ballots for the GOP primary are painting a darker and darker prospect against Trump's illegitimate 2024 presidential run.
