When Even Fox News Says You're a P.O.S.
Trump was quick to denounce The Atlantic for publishing an article about how the Mango Mussolini views the men and women serving in America's military and those who have died and been disabled fighting America's wars. The article relies on four sources, all of them anonymous. Trump used that to dismiss the story as "fake news." Just more of that Lugenpresse garbage.
Then Fox News, the Oval Office news agency, had its Pentagon reporter look into the claims. She talked to several senior types at the Pentagon and they said...
Now we will wait and see if the General Staff of the US has any integrity or courage left. Mattis and Kelly were there and know all. Will they speak out or will they harbour someone who has insulted and belittled and fired them or will they honour their oath to protect the American constitution and people. I think they will wimp out showing that the rot starts at the top.
Trump demands absolute loyalty but offers none in return. Once you're out there's no reason to stay mum. Payback is a bitch, Toby. I read that one Trump aid told a reporter that the boss really does respect the troops. It's just that when he opens his mouth, he often "sounds like an asshole."
I've read that Kelly is getting squeezed by his comrades to tell the public what he told them in confidence about his time as Chief of Staff. Mattis laid into Trump in June of this year. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/james-mattis-denounces-trump-protests-militarization/612640/
At the end of the video the Defense Secretary "praised the President saying . . . "
ReplyDeleteSupporters are constantly propping Trump up. There is no stupidity that they won't make excuses for or simply deny.
