This negative angle has to be minimized before the loudest supporters are actually just the loudest detractors.
More are leaving that orange moron every day, and will continue to do so.
Just the fact he doesn’t understand “pool” was something many people from many walks of life could comprehend and put in a context of just how idiotic he is.
Now, more physical evidence of his ineptitude.
All the families should be going to the media.
It's really funny how much the US is turning into North Korea.
I'm waiting for news of the sailors who are telling and showing this information to the public getting thrown in the brig and on the fast track to Leavenworth. Chasing and punishing whistleblowers is one of the Trump regime's favorite pastimes.
You mean the guy who mocked John McCain for being a P.O.W. doesn't respect military vets?
Ya don't say
So, they're starving our sailors? What the actual fuck?!!! He's talking about his almost a billion dollar renovation and he's starving our sailors? I'm beyond angry on this.
They spoke of insufficient nourishment that has led to close relatives losing 20-30lbs in weight since they were sent to the Middle East five months ago,
They will still continue to support him. Most military personnel voted for Trump. They get what they deserve
Going off statistics, the vast majority of these sailors, and their families, got exactly what they voted for.
I don't want to hear from a single parent now, who didn't also speak out after their precious whittle babies murdered 175 school-girls, or the countless other civilians the USN killed during its most recent warcrime speed.
What are those statistics btw?
That 65% voted for President Trump.
Of people in the military?
Give the odds, how do those families feel about their Trump votes now? Got what you voted for!!!
I don't know why those suckers and losers aren't happy to be treated this way. Anyone who was in the American military and voted for Trump is/was a literal simp.
Yeah... Military and veterans voted 61 percent for Trump and MAGA. You get what you stupidly voted for.
Enjoy the day you voted for!
Fascist soldiers that support genocide are starving? Anyway...
