Recent polling shows that among military veterans, approval ratings for Trump are higher than among the civilian population. In my experience, the support for Donald Trump among a large segment of the U.S. military is downright cult-like.

None of this makes sense. Trump is everything the U.S. military should despise: a draft dodger, adulterer, flabby, lazy, unread, a tabloid joke for decades, and TV reality show star. During the 2016 campaign, Trump sought to brandish his non-existent national security chops by insulting Barack Obama’s generals. “I know more about ISIS than the generals do. The generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country.” He hinted that as president, he would fire them. “They’d probably be different generals,” he said at NBC’s pre-election Commander-in-Chief Forum.

The man with a decades-long public record of immoral and unethical behavior, who had never served in uniform or undertook any public service to his country, tweeted juvenile insults about retired four-star generals like Colin Powell, John Allen, Stanley McChrystal, Michael Hayden and Martin Dempsey. Several of these decorated, battle-hardened generals, were life-long Republicans who had devoted their lives to serving their country. Yet they believed so strongly that Trump was a national security danger they took the extraordinary step of breaking with military tradition to criticize him publicly.

In normal times, this would have dealt a severe blow to any campaign and made a serious dent in support among the military. But the attacks by the generals, and Trump’s willingness to return fire, only endeared him to the rank and file more.
I should note that the article was written by a deep state guy (a female is still a guy, when they are "out with the guys" at least they were back when I was working with them) who doesn't seem (from what I read) to like Trump
I rest my case.

And like always Trump makes it all about him not the troops who can’t be with their families.


Big surprise there.

CBS reporter Mark Knoller on the 27th...

I suppose we should be proud of DJT skipping one of his multitude of tax dollar wasting golf outings to travel to Afghanistan? Yeah, right.

So Trump's big announcement about a deal and ceasefire is a surprise to involved.

For anyone interested in some of the details...

Air Force One touched down in Afghanistan at 11:03 AM EST after a 13 hour overnight trip from JBA. Details of how POTUS snuck out of Mar a Lago are still a secret, but he flew out of an undisclosed airport in Florida on an off-the-record plane at 7:20 PM EST Wednesday evening

It was bare-bones, except for four blue leather chairs and a moderately fancy port-a-potty that had been brought in for the occasion.

Security precautions were taken to the extreme. Everyone’s cellular devices, including the handful of senior White House officials on the flight, were taken before boarding the plane. President Trump greeted the crew and even stayed in the cockpit for takeoff.

After landing at JBA at approximately 9:30 PM EST, the President boarded Air Force One, which was hidden inside a hanger instead of being lit up as usual on the tarmac. AF1 was wheels up at 10:08 PM EST with all interior lights off and windows drawn.

To keep suspicions at bay, the White House scheduled tweets to be sent from the President’s twitter account during the many hours that he did not have access to the internet.

What you should take from this is the press is reporting that the president is golfing, but it wasn't true here. How do we know this hasn't happened before?

You don't have to be proud...

honestly, as much as the press loathes normal conservative people - I thought this was great.

Good news. Jessica Kwong, who falsely claimed Trump was "golfing and tweeting" has just been fired for spreading fake news. I'm glad to see that these TDS-afflicted liars are starting to be held accountable.

Doesn't matter who wrote it. It was a good article and exposed Trump for what he is and wondered why the Military would support such a person.
