Trump Cuts National Guard Deployment A Day Short Of Benefits Accrual | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
He is just setting himself up to be a dictator with no oversight and plans to do away with our democracy.
If he does that he will hang just as Mussolini and his wife hung. Our country will not allow Trump to have another term. Period.
It’s actually a ‘democratic republic’ but I hope you are wrong.
Every member of the National Guard. Remember this when you vote.
They won’t
@Moose Soup they’ll still put on their MAGA hats and vote for this guy.
I underestimated his cruelty, he still can torment his people and am getting scared of how far he can go. The devil lives among us.
Just wait for the unleashed insanity coming in the lame duck session Nov till Jan.
Especially if he’s unopposed by a lame duck Majority leader McConnell. He will be busy slamming kids from the Young Republican sect into lifetime Judiciary positions.
The devil wears orange!
Im so digusted with our so called, “President!”
Doing something really stupid like this in an election year. Trump is looking to sabotage his own election.
His daughter owns voting machines! He can’t lose.
He already knows he’s lost. Just seeing what he can take down with him
@ckendall67 His base included people of an older generation who many member of the GOP have been effectively saying are worthwhile sacrifices to reopen the economy – his base is going to shrink when all this mess comes to a close, even Fox News are rebuking him on his insane Hydroxychloroquine push, when people hear conflicting comments from Fox and Trump they will consult their doctor who will tell them that Trump’s advice is dangerous trash.
@Kenny Hill I thumbed up your comment because I like unreasonable optimism. I don’t believe there is a bottom to the trump fans idiocy.
Big Blue He enjoyed his previous life in retirement.
The “War-time” President giving his middle finger to the military
I really hope that this has cost him the entire Military vote
It would have been nice for
Robert De Niro to have punched him in the mouth
You still may see it one-day. I hope so anyway.
I didn’t vote for Trump, what a jackhole he is!
Unfortunately I did. Biggest mistake of my life.
@Barry I really wish Trump lived up to most of his campaign policies. Jobs, better economy, swamp draining, etc sounded pretty sweet, even for someone who didn’t vote for him. I don’t think we’ve seen many improvements which were influenced by him. However I was pretty impressed he made some movement with North Korea, not that it got us too far….but he tried.
most of us didn’t vote for Trump.
Let’s hope the National guard vote in November.
Many of these NG’s voted for trump; wonder if this will wake them up.
He’s been screwing his employees all his life. This is no surprise.

👏👏👏👏👏!!!
well he just lost the votes from all who serve or have served in the NG.
Oops that’s your boy Trump looking out for the military man “truck fump”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The odd thing about that insult is that it works so well considering that weird photo op of him in a truck cab looking like a 5 year old playing in his daddys truck.
One of the most disgusting screwings I’ve ever heard.
At least it wasn’t a physical actuality. Gag.
“No one loves the troops more than me” Disgusting.
SAD
This is why Trump shouldn’t been in the White House. He’s literally implementing the Republican wishlist of cutting funding that would help average Americans.
Not just average Americans – in this instance frontline workers during a pandemic that has killed nearly 100K so far, that is really next level billionaire miser s**t, he makes pre Christmas Ebenezer Scrooge look positively humane and charitable.
Military members: Trump is a draft-dodger
That,s because is a coward! always has been
@Encyclopedia Brown And a gold star family too. To say nothing of that disgusting photo op with the surviving native American code talkers from WW2 and his going full on racist in front of them.
Imagine if the draft boards had rejected his cowardly fake medical excuse and sent him to the front lines. He would not have lasted a week and no one would know who he was, wouldn’t that be nice?
@d z
I doubt Trump would have made it out of boot camp! He wouldn’t have been sent to Nam, his father would have bribed someone to get him a cushy desk position somewhere.
@D Casey That is true that he could not get through any of the services boot camps
Trump never ceases to amaze me in his depravity. Just when you think he can’t go any lower, he tops himself and finds new depths.
This is a cold calculated decision which is more akin to the Nazis’ “Final Solution” than to Making American Great Again.
Who does things like this except and ugly person who has no heart for anyone at all. Shameful
