Let's hope he will never say

I see what you did there.


Not quite a "Godwin."

When all else fails nothing like ordering the troops out to set off a few explosions followed by flag waving and congratulations. Just like a video game. Trump's cronies are true patriots as long as they're not actually in the field of fire.

Trump on the other hand uses "MY" all the time. Even the clips people and media put up to "prove" everyone does it, struggled to find examples, many thousands of hours of footage, miles of paper and handfuls of often weak examples.

I stand by my post. outliers are meaningless. If what Trump said was a slip, or being used to make a particular point, i would say fine. But trump is using "my" across a wide range people and structures. Trump really does appear to think he is some sort of king.

Why would anyone expect anything else from the "birther-psychopath-in-chief"

Why do some people refer to themselves in the third person? - BBC News

Trump is a megalomaniac and his followers slavishly agree with whatever comes out of his mouth. We now have our own private version of North Korea with Trump and his loyal followers.

This man should not be in charge of the worlds most powerful military. Scary times these are.

Nah... Most Progressives are more afraid of a Chick-fil-A opening on a campus than they are of a Commander-in-Chief Trump.

That is very kind of you, but it is not true. He is possessive of them--they work for him, just as he is possessive of everything, including his cult. Remember "I love the 'uneducated'?"

If he 'loved' the military, he would have 'joined' them rather than run away from them five times.

You know--I don't care if people idolize Trump and see in him someone he is not. But I would respect his following so much more if they were at least honest about the guy.

Five deferments using an ailment that obviously did not prevent him from playing tennis, is pretty much a fake excuse to get out of serving. Muhammad Ali was much more honest and courageous standing up as a conscientious objector.

Trump is a coward--always has been, but now he is using "his military" to sound like a big man.

It is, frankly, pathetic.
