Decizia nu a fost total neaşteptată, ţinând cont de divergenţele publice existente între Trump şi Esper pe mai multe subiecte în ultimele luni. Mark Esper se pregătea de ceva vreme pentru perspectiva demisiei sau a destituirii sale după alegerile de la 3 noiembrie, în special dacă Trump ar fi câştigat un al doilea mandat. Esper l-a înfuriat pe Donald Trump prin opoziţia la ameninţarea preşedintelui că va trimite militari activi pentru a reprima protestele antirasism care au zguduit SUA în vară. În plus, Mark Esper nu a fost de acord nici cu atitudinea de desconsidere a NATO afişată de Trump, au mai indicat sursele.
