'We don't need four more years of that,' Pompeo, who would become Trump's Secretary of State, said at the time.

"We've spent seven and a half years with an authoritarian president who ignored our constitution," Pompeo continued, referring to Obama, who was still president at the time."We don't need four more years of that," the Kansas Republican, who was then serving in the House of Representatives, said.

He went on to assert that the nation's soldiers"don't swear an allegiance to President Trump or any other President ... They take an oath to defend our Constitution, as Kansans, as conservatives, as Republicans, as Americans."Glasser pointed out that Pompeo has been very careful to avoid the appearance of disagreement between himself and Trump since joining the president's administration.

"I've never really heard him [Pompeo] go off on Trump in a video form," the writer said."Mike Pompeo is very, very sensitive about even the appearance of being caught out disagreeing with Donald Trump. I think he is worried about the idea that Donald Trump is gonna remember back to March 5th, 2016." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shakes hands with President Donald Trump during a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C. on June 21, 2018
