Scumbag Traitor Trump Demands Army Political Support

[eric_erosfan]

Making soldiers support your political speech is revolting to veterans everywhere.

Can anything he does surprise us at this point?

There is no bottom.

Trump’s visit to Ft. Bragg wasn’t about honoring the Army soldiers stationed there—it was about staging a backdrop for his latest political broadside. The troops became set dressing for a speech aimed not at national unity, but at attacking California’s leadership.

His decision to order U.S. Marines into California and activate the National Guard—without following established protocols—wasn’t just irregular, it was a blatant abuse of executive power.

This wasn’t about readiness or defense—it was about optics and control. Soldiers at Bragg weren’t the audience; they were the scenery.

For those who wear the uniform—or have worn it—there’s a deep understanding that service demands something higher than politics. When the chain of command is used for show instead of mission, it risks eroding the trust and discipline that hold the entire force together. That’s a danger no commander-in-chief should ignore.

I never thought any administration could get any more dishonest or cynical than W's.

Thinking is TDS. Thinking puts you in a minefield of doubt. Thinking leads to TDS.

Sorry, kid. I was musing on your statement. You just haven't lived long enough to experience what dishonesty or cynicism leads to, but that's okay. It's good to have such an admission, which shows you aren't jaded and infected with TDS.

[The government had shots for that, but some brain-dead worm guy killed that program, so you are going to have to wait until a few more years before sanity can be restored.]

This coming from the 'Biden's brain is just fine crowd'.

 

[nowisthetime]

Why? He called them suckers and losers and avoided the draft. Their vet care is in danger too.

Sure, if you say so.

I see you've flipped back to a worn-out page from the old “Biden’s brain” jab—straight from the "got nothing else" playbook.

You’re not even up to Captain Obvious levels here. At least he states facts. You’re tossing playground insults while ignoring the real issue:
Your guy just deployed National Guard troops against civilians under questionable legal authority — and floated using the Marines without any constitutional basis. That’s not leadership, it’s a meltdown in uniform.

Biden didn’t violate Posse Comitatus, didn’t flirt with martial law, and sure as hell hasn’t been convicted 34 times. Your support for someone who did is egregious.

If you can’t defend your guy’s actions, maybe just sit this one out instead of proving the point with every reply.

This article states nothing new. This crap is always a dog and pony BS show no matter who’s in office. Reading it it’s states nothing of “demanding” as this post claims. Same crap different POTUS.

Apparently there is no cure for TDS.

Apparently there is no cure for TDS.

He could resign, or his minions could use the 25th to remove him. TDS would diminish, and something else would take its place. Maybe ice cream on a stick, for instance.

TDS does not exist, BTW. It's rightwing bull–an excuse used to malign people who have different viewpoints.

TDS can't both diminish and not exist.

Fair point. Let’s be honest: “TDS” isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a lazy defense mechanism invented by people who can’t handle being called out for worshipping a 34-time convicted felon.

When you’ve run out of facts, just scream "TDS" and hope no one notices you’ve lost the plot.

But let me ask — are you still in that camp? After the fiasco in L.A., was that not a bridge too far? Or are you still on board with a train-wreck of a president who governs like a thug and sidesteps the rule of law at every turn?

The Military.com article was different and said something new. It points to a POTUS who has little regard for the military as just a tool for his window dressing for personal political jabs. It is unlike any past presidency.

"Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to curate the optics of Trump's recent visit, including handpicking soldiers for the audience based on political leanings and physical appearance. The troops ultimately selected to be behind Trump and visible to the cameras were almost exclusively male.

"One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

""If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said.

"Service officials declined to comment when asked about the extent to which troops were screened, whether soldiers displaying partisan cheers on television -- a violation of long-standing Pentagon rules -- would be disciplined or if soldiers who objected to participating in the event, citing disagreements with the administration, would be disciplined or admonished in any way.

""This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution," one commander at Fort Bragg told Military.com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. "This was shameful. I don't expect anything to come out of it, but I hope maybe we can learn from it long term.""

 

[OldSoldier96]

Well fat soldiers shouldn’t be in the military to begin with.
They always screen soldiers for these events high speed.

Unbelievable!!! WOW!!! You have the audacity... the temerity... the sanctimonious mindset to bring up the 25th amendment after what your democratic party and their lying buffoonery has put the American people through. The demoncrat projectionist party accused republicans of trying to destroy democracy while they themselves dismantled the election process, eliminated the primary process and installed an illegitimate tag team of dunderheads as candidates to run our country. TOO FUNNY!!!

You're not talking about Biden, of course -- even now, his mind is sharper than Trump's, and better fit for the presidency. By now that should be obvious even to you.

There was nothing irregular about Harris' nomination. If Biden, having won the primaries, had simply died, no one would have suggested a new round of primaries was necessary. The situation that actually eventuated was no different.

And there were no dunderheads on the Dem ticket -- Trump and Vance were the only dunderheads on that ballot.

After years of decline in both recruitment and retention, alongside an air of neglect for our nation’s warfighters, the American military is turning a corner. Renewed leadership under President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is inspiring one of the most dramatic military revivals in recent history.

Under the Biden-Harris administration, the Department of the Army missed its recruitment goals by historic margins. In fiscal 2022, they aimed to bring in 60,000 people and came up 15,000 short. In fiscal 2023, despite increasing the target to 65,000, the Army fell short again, only managing 55,000 recruits — the worst recruiting crisis since the all-volunteer force was established in 1973.

Not even you believe that.

Desk jockeys, mess hall food, and NCO clubs cause that. Ever seen a skinny cook?

Favorite military joke:

Private looking into his bowl, "What's this?"
Cook answers, "Chicken soup."
Private's comeback reply, "You should have let the chicken walk through it twice."

Thank you! I liked the sarcasm myself, too.

Resignation is acceptable, but the 25th is the fastest process if he doesn't. I suppose we could go the impeachment route since he is already familiar with that, but it would take longer. Which is your favorite one?

But what you wrote was just as over the top, more so. Congratulations on a well-scripted piece of pedantry and great sarcasm, as to be right on the cutting edge of having someone believe you. You could write for The Onion. If you need a recommendation for your application, please don't hesitate to let me know. I know a guy there.

No matter what you think of President Biden, trump will always be a piece of shit traitor who is currently fucking up your freedoms.

Heaven forbid you hold the felon accountable, traitor.

This wasn't about military recruitment or Joe Biden. You made great efforts to no avail. I'm sorry about your blood pressure readings today.

The country is currently a mess. I don't believe Democrats have the stomach to clean it up. And TDS is definitely a thing.
