Donald Trump Jr. tweeted about Secretary Lloyd Austin, “The deep state doesn’t bother telling Biden that his Secretary of Defense was hospitalized and out of commission for 4 days because they know he can’t comprehend what that means anyway and they think they’re the ones in charge and don’t need to follow the legal chain of command!”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized on New Year’s Day following surgery, with the Department of Defense only recently confirming the news. He was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on January 1 due to complications from a “recent elective medical procedure”. This hospitalization was not initially communicated to top military officials or the White House, leading to a lack of awareness among senior leaders about his condition. According to Pentagon press secretary, Air Force Major General Pat Ryder, Austin’s hospitalization was due to complications following a minor elective medical procedure.
The mystery surrounding Austin’s hospitalization, particularly the delay in informing key government officials, raises questions about the communication protocols within the Pentagon and the nature of the elective medical procedure Austin underwent. The situation underscores the importance of transparency and prompt communication within government departments, especially regarding the health of high-ranking officials.
