Hill Air Force Base in Utah has closed one of its two day care centers, harming quality of life for some service members, civilian employees and their families following hiring freezes ordered by President Donald Trump's administration.

Earlier this month, Military.com first reported that Hill -- the service's second-largest base by population and size -- had begun warning certain families that it would likely have to close one of its child development centers, or CDCs, due to a lack of staffing exacerbated, in part, by Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk's push to trim the size of the federal workforce.

Trump hates the military and he hates kids

He likes some people’s kids.

Even his own daughter.

In 2006, former U.S. President Donald Trump said, “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her"

Donald Trump made the comment during an appearance with Ivanka Trump on "The View." Donald Trump's spokesperson told journalists he was joking and "making fun of himself for his tendency to date younger women."
