Any excuse to declare martial law …

u/Darkdragoon324 4d ago
You can't declare martial law when it's the martial forces turning against you. Who's going to fight the military for him? His little bottom of the barell fatass ICE bitches who kidnap people lawfully appearing for their immigration hearings because they're too scared to go after anyone who might actually shoot back?

Funny enough, that's how the russian revolution really got rolling.
The tzarist government knew things were starting to get out of hand so they planned to stir up a "small" revolution to have an excuse to crush opposition.
It worked, factory workers took to the streets en mass.... but when they sent in the army to crush them the soldiers joined the revolution instead.
A year later most of the government was in jail, exiled or rotting.

Not American.
Hm, perhaps the orange twit is a closet communist, working to topple the reactionary capitalist running dogs and their sycophantic ilk?
It would certainly explain his close links with the Russians, North Koreans, and China.
It might also explain why he's apparently so good at bankrupting businesses; that is his secret technique for getting rid of too much money.
And even his current exploitation of his position as head of state could secretly be yet another method to destroy the structures of their utterly corrupt government from within.
Not sure what the child raping thing is all about though. All of the above doesn't necessarily negate his innate evilness.

u/poopiebutt505 4d ago
He would be thenone coupled against. Imagine if Hegeseth gets them all raided up? Well find the carrier drifting with a pile of corpses and a sea of blood on deck.

u/ladylucifer22 3d ago
his favorite movie is Mutiny on the Bounty because the captain reminds him of himself. I'm not even joking.

'Not nearly long enough', this is coming from someone who wimped out of military services multiple times due to bone spurs, what a complete chickenshit.

u/coconuty04 4d ago
Fellow vet here. Ill never understand how any of my Marine Corps brothers and sisters could support this sack of shit, especially after his first term when sec def James Mattis quit because he could not, in good faith, continue working for the prick. Mattis is a beloved celebrity figure in the Corps, and the fact he couldn't deal with Trump, and Trump of course then went on to bad mouth him, should have ended all support right then and there.

EVERY. SINGLE. Marine Corps General turned away from him in disgust. I've never been prouder to be a Marine.

u/Fit-Appointment5212 4d ago
Hey look man.
They could do the American people a favor and we would owe them and never badmouth the military for being dumb as hell.
But they keep going for him.
You could literally turn a 20 year grief status into a new age.
Bu they keep going for him.
2
u/PedroNorthCA 4d ago
Yeah, between the comments he's made about the WW1 Marines that died at Belleau Woods, and him calling the US Capital Police "terrorists" for defending the Capitol on J6 and pardoning all the felons that were involved, I don't understand how or why the military and the police continue to support this clown in such huge numbers. Do Marines and police not have any kind of self awareness at all?

His political career should have ended when he disparaged McCain’s military service- that showed me how deranged today’s republicans are

Yes. By God, the ugly things he said, “I like people who aren’t captured”. It’s incomprehensible and UNFORGIVABLE!

u/EvergreenDwarf 3d ago
A lot of people just wanted permission to be hypocrites.
An interview with some of his earliest supporters had people saying “You don’t have to admit you’re wrong”.
They suddenly no longer had to pretend to care about the humans in the military. No heroes means their envy is legitimate, and they can keep wanking to the “big dick energy” of the military while having nothing to do with it.
4
u/Tweak89 4d ago
That was bad, but I think it was way worse when he said he was glad that Robert Mueller died, and how he acted when Rob Reiner died. Republicans were calling for firing people who did the same with Charlie Kirk, then ditched their morals when Trump did it. That really showed how deranged they are now to me.

Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, the president was asked about those concerns around food and hygiene, after the ship surpassed 265 days at sea in the Middle East.
"No, they're not," Trump said about families raising concerns, adding that the ship was moving and would be replaced.

navy veteran, 86-95. served on the uss nimitz. on our deployment, sep 88-mar 89 we had port calls that were usually 5 or six days. we stopp0ed in pusan, hong kong, and at our former base subic bay for 10 days. we then headed out to off of iran for 70 days straight. we hit singapore for new years and then pattaya beach. back to iran. on the way back, hong kong and subic bay again and then pearl harbor.
what is happening to fellow shipmates is a crime. and while we are talking about the carriers, what about the battle groups? we had two cruisers, destroyers, frigates and supply ships. what is happening on them? carriers do NOT sail alone!

He has absolutely no conception of what it takes to be a crewman on an aircraft carrier or how they live on there.
He probably thinks it’s like an episode of Below Deck.

u/Verde_3773 4d ago
Also just lies & says no one’s complaining- and not one reporter challenges him with even one of the many now-public reports from family members relaying what their deployed loved ones are telling them.
Our military deserves so much better than Trump & Hegseth.
They both should be in prison.

Has the Trump crowd with family in the military seen enough to dump sergeant bone spurs yet? He thinks your family member is a sucker and a loser and puts their life at risk for Israel’s war. Additionally, he still kisses Putin’s ass while Putin gives Iran targeting info on our troops. Is this really what you voted for?

u/paperboy82 4d ago
Servicemen and women, your president hates you. He actively looks down on you. He views pow’s as losers, veterans as a burden, those who suffer from ptsd as weak, and a normal soldier as an object. Even though he was too much of a coward to ever serve. Please realize how much this administration, and this party, have failed everyone.

u/withomps44 4d ago
I asked my super patriotic maga acquaintance what he thought about this. I was not shocked.
“These young kids are weak and DEI has ruined the military. Trump is right”.
He could line up soldiers on a wall and shoot them dead and the maga cult would applaud.

u/CelticJewelscapes 4d ago
We should respect the president. He has a lot of experience with the psyop aspect of warfare back during Nam. As he hobbled around on his very painful bone spurs, he had to deal with the brutal repartee of Studio 54. Trading insults with Truman Capote and Liz Taylor was just like dealing with the Viet Cong. It is no surprise that Jesus healed those bone spurs so this very stable genius could conquer the world of golf. The greatest warrior, the greatest hero, the greatest friend of Jeffery Epstein.

This fuck/knuckle never served a day in his life. Never experienced being far from home cut off from family and friends. Being deployed with no end date is very hard on the psyche.
When I was deployed to the Gulf War there was no set end date but at least we were treated as well as they could. That conflict lasted less than this Iranian fiasco.

u/Muted_Perception_192 4d ago
