Congressman Max Rose, a Captain in the Army National Guard, calls the Trump administration plan to cut deployment short of that 90 day benchmark "the definition of heartless." Aired on 5/20/2020.

Rep. Max Rose: Trump Admin Plan For Natl. Guard ‘Killing Morale’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump is Disgusting
Go ahead, vote Biden.
See how that works for ya.
Unbelievably disgusting. Donald Trump is unbelievably disgusting.
DOES THIS MEAN YOU’RE FINALLY MOVING TO CANADA?
@Clark Kent voting for Biden means we’ll have a President who can go to the G7 and not be laughed at like some fukin clown by all the other world leaders so I think it will work out fine!
@xSilverBack_Gx lolololololol lolololololol lolololololol lolololololol
Whatever you say cupcake.
tRump is gonna dangle a carrot somehow….just wait.
He will give them the extra day they need, and try to look like a hero for a vote.
@john smith i think he was being sarcastic
@A Tiny Chihuahua LLC It is hard to tell anymore. He has so many stupid supporters saying so may stupid things.
Now I’m depressed again. 😑
There won’t be anyone buying any of that-they should engrave their reactions to the news on Bullets and deliver them as efficiently as possible.
Yeah, Donald “no one could have seen this coming” and “who knew health care could be so hard” will claim he never knew this was planned and only he can fix it. You just wait.
@A Tiny Chihuahua LLC 👈the stupid nazi, is strong with this one.
What a disgusting man!! Soldiers are our heroes they are risking their lives in this pandemic and to do that to them😡 shame on trump!!!
ari saez What do we expect from tRump, a COWARD, who payed a doctor to lie him out of fighting in Vietnam! tRump’s bone spurs never stopped him from fornicating! I will never get over how anyone could vote for this piece of crap, tRump! And yet, here we are with 50% of Americans still supporting a totally immoral man!
Evil is overcoming d good.. Yet d most powerful country cant do much abt it.. China wil overtake to become d most powerful nation if this continues😂
the military have said Trump’s values and theirs don’t align
And that goes to show you how respectful the military is…
Trump has no values; yet they still give him the respect (one he doesn’t deserve IMO) because of the title he holds.
@Ron Mayb
Democrats will all be sucking on used tampons and Tampaxs. In 2020 for comfort. Or molesting their own little girls and boys .
@Fernando Castillo
President Trump is THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE UNITED STATES. !! If he orders us to activate !! All the Millions and Millions of well armed well trained Veterans and Patriots and Milita. We will IMMEDIATELY activate. And WE WILL FOLLOW HIS ORDERS !! …
THAT YOU DEMO’RAT PIGS.. ” CAN COUNT ON MFERS.. !!
@Bobby Nelson you nasty decrepit pig. Dumptrump 2020!
@Bobby Nelson you nasty decrepit unamerican Trumpsters, I’ve tried playing nice but now the gloves are off. Your Now going to be labeled. The “Saugy Bottom gang” Dumptrump 2020!
Trump thought it would be a really sick joke to play on our men and women in uniform. He probably got a big kick out of it too.
I actually think it was out of sight out of mind. He was distracted by his poor re election odds because his beautiful economy had water thrown on it and now it’s melting. What a world! What a world!
sadistic
They are just pawns and extras in what he is making into the Greatest Show On Earth.
@Gregor Kropotkin so it’s just performance art? Interesting and equally frightening theory.
David J ……He is Satan in disguise and his mind is ready to work with BAD INTENTIONS… at all times, just like Satan !
The Dotard is too stupid to understand that dictators need the military to prop them up – without the military’s support, dictators fail – for example: Mussolini.
@GX Minn Trump is also an old white fat guy so they match.
He has his military. Didn’t you see them in Lansing waving their guns, threatening to hang the the gov, demanding she opens the state, after Trumps tweets? That’s his army.
Those are terrorists, not military. 🙂
They pull similar expressions when they are Grandstanding too, I wonder if the IMPOTUS will end up dead and swinging by his feet from a lamp post like Mussolini?
Ah, the US of A-where dreams really can come true!
Akra Seil What are you trying to do make a light in morons head go on?
So much for #maga. The orange clown is literally killing this country.
Trump will take credit for reversing it and fire the guy that made the poor decision in the first place. This is part of his PR plan for getting reelected. Don’t fall for it people!
i dont fall for anything he has to say ,, his word doesnt hold water !!!! he is a dispicable man
He will take credit for reversing the policy and will have one guy on the stage with him, then let the policy stand at 89 days so everyone still get screwed but Trump will get the photo op and Fox News coverage that he fixed it without fixing it.
Why would you cut deployment by 1 day to stop their benefits? That’s disgusting!! I thought Trump was the military hero, that’s what he said.. How could he do this to our military service persons? He just keeps going lower and lower..
This must have been an unfortunate mistake. Nobody loves the military more than Trump. He said so.
He also loves sports people – he buys them burgers! Nothing tells you more that Trump loves you than him buying you fries and burgers!
It should not be considered 🤨! IT’S USA SOLDIERS RIGHTS😠! GIVE ALL OF THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE & WORKED FOR🤨😠! WTF IS TRUMP SAYING 😝🖕🏽🖕 🤨😠 🖕! THESE R OUR SOLDIERS!! WE DEMAND IT🤨😠
A draft dodging coward isn’t good for the military members.
Another group who WON’T be Trump voters.
As a gulf war vet and father who is a Korean and Vietnam vet I can’t understand military supporting a draft dodging coward.
The Dead won’t be either-but their surviving relatives have a vote…
@GX Minn Thank you for your service and sacrifices, sir. I hope you are shown the courtesy & consideration you so richly deserve.
You just can’t help yourselves. What a bunch of babies. “I need a haircut” Wah Wah Wah.
Jimmy D. You apparently are commenting in the wrong area.
How can anyone in the services ever again have any trust in the Trump administration!!!!
This is why we need to vote trump out. This is INSANE.
They shouldn’t of to begin with. You can’t believe a single thing he says or does. It is a sad shame!
Trump and his minions have zero feelings for the average guy. The average guy is just a pawn to them. They don’t care if you die as long as you do it quietly.
Veterans and active military are NOT your “average guy (or gal)”! They are responding to a call to arms and place their very selves in harms way not only against foreign enemies, but on domestic soil as well. And to cheat them out of what is rightfully theirs just to save costs? How much more of a blatantly cowardly and heinous act is that? Obviously conceived by and then decided upon by cowards and cheats who aren’t themselves willing to make the same sacrifice as these honorable and brave men and women have and continue to do. A devious ploy by higher ups protected in an office shielded from battle and by crooks who have never worn the appropriate uniform. People who are not dependent on benefits promised to them in exchange for their service. And undoubtedly supported, if not ultimately proposed by the vile commander-in-chief himself!
downhilltwofour00 They don’t even think about anyone else; tRump and his goons are completely immoral!
@todokete My use of the phrase “Average Guy” was meant to describe who I also think as the true Americans. Without them noting would be done. They are the back-bone of any society including America. I served three years from 1960-1963 in the Army. I hope many read your comment and are moved by it, as it moved me.
downhilltwofour00 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, SIR. I SALUTE YOU.
I wasn’t meaning to come across as offensive to your comment. I was just trying to elaborate on what trump, The Mango Menace, probably thinks of as the average “person”, which we know he doesn’t care anything about. I apologize if you felt set back by my reply. I hold all Veterans and Active Military of all branches as heroes for how they have selflessly chosen to serve this Great Nation.
@todokete Please, don’t think of me as being Offended in any way! Your comment was right on the mark. I’m glad my use of the phrase inspired you! Stay healthy and safe. America needs many more just like you sir.
t’rump calling for a hard stop on Day 89 of the National Guard’s deployment just so they don’t get the 90-day service credit which goes towards their pensions. 👎
Happy Memorial Day!
Actually, Memorial day is for those soldiers who died defending our nation. To be correct, you could say “Happy Early Veterans Day”. Veterans Day is for all veterans of military service.
We wanna hear the tapes between Michael Flynn and the Russian’s
Yes, I agree as well.
We the people need to demand the truth!
Mike MichaelD Would a perfect transcript suffice?
Let go trump supporters down fall of America let go trump supporters
Even for Trump this is a low act to use these people only too gut them before they can meet eligibility.
Why pay for the cow if you can get the milk for free :p
He fired McCabe just before he was eligible for retirement…doesn’t pay his own employees or suppliers now he’s playing these same games with the country such a fail president
@Shirley Cochrane 💯👍 Apparently he hasn’t paid states for the security bills for holding his rallies either and talks about the welfare states 🤬
There are no bounds for this creature-not something to shake your head and walk away from-if Americans need to die for his re-election, that’s a price he is quite happy for others to pay and if turning the guns of the military and police on his opponents is electorally advantageous-well, that’s just the next step-he’ll claim it was an armed insurrection by the Evil Hillary/Biden/Obama Axis-they are soo mean to him!
@Gregor Kropotkin 💯👏
That is typical in America. I was maimed for life on the job and terminated 4 weeks before retirement because I was maimed. AFL-CIO approved. However, They said if I abandoned my Swedish Orthopodedic physiotherapy and embraced their faith healing I could keep my job. I am alive because I am an ex-pat. Airlines always tell you to know your exits. Your life may depend on it.
Trump will spin this to his advantage. “They wanted to screw these soldiers over by stopping at 89 days….. *I* didn’t let that happen” and the red hats cheer wildly as their hero takes credit for putting out a fire he started.
That’s what worries me.
We have 5+ months for his followers to finally see the truth about him. Keep educating, people.
@Toni Shafaf Most of the red hats are too far gone to save. I do agree we need to keep trying to show them the light. Unfortunately he is like a god to them and can do no wrong. Many would drink the Jonestown Flavor Aid and die for Trump if he told them to.
Ya way to far gone, if they still support him with all the crimes and immoral things he has done there is no way to change there minds. History will see them as racist criminals who support dictatorships.
I’m really sick of trump he needs to be handcuffed and dragged out of the Whitehouse now 🤬
Maureen Awty unreal this pig
I wish they would play this story on Fox News !
It’s the only way my grandfather would believe it 😡
He really needs to go , and then court,then PRISON
@Brooklynite for life isn’t it sad older Americans can’t see the forest for the trees. Let him go in peace, you can’t fix some one set in thier ways. But you need to vote this scum bag out, and take care, be safe !
@Larrygilbertreyes Reyes 😊👍
I love all the military veterans and I have six in my immediate family, My Dad and my Brother’s served from the Navy, Army corps and Marine corps, And they and all American Veterans deserve honor for their services to the United States, And Trump doesn’t really give a sh*t about them it’s all just a show ! 🙏🏿🤢🙏🏻
