Less than three months after getting pushed out by the Pentagon, President Donald Trump’s ex-Navy secretary stumped Friday for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg in Norfolk.

“I am proud to endorse Mike Bloomberg for President of the United States," said Richard V. Spencer, according to a transcript of his remarks sent to Navy Times by the campaign. “I have the utmost confidence that Mike will faithfully execute his duty as commander in chief.

"He will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and uphold the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Mike will honor the service and ensure the equal treatment of all women and men in uniform. He also will respect the advice of military advisers.”

Tossing verbal darts at Trump while standing in the shadow of the museum battleship Wisconsin, Spencer promised that Bloomberg — the billionaire former mayor of New York and a fierce advocate of stronger gun control laws — would restore “America’s standing in the world" and mend “relationships with our allies.”

Bloomberg, Spencer continued, “has the experience, integrity and self-discipline to lead our armed forces, unite our country, and rebuild America.”

Bloomberg returned the praise, lauding Spencer for his service, leadership and integrity and "for always honoring the oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, even in the face of tremendous pressure.

"I can’t think of a person I respect more for their character. You really are the definition of a great American and we all appreciate it."

What neither man mentioned in their flowery speeches was that Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper demanded Spencer’s resignation on Nov. 24 after discovering an alleged pattern of deception tied to a series of sham hearings rigged to yank the coveted tridents of several SEALs mired in war crimes allegations, especially the pin worn by Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher.
