It's clear that tRump despises our military

His comments to Chris Wallace last night reinforce his hate-the-military actions and non-actions he took over Veterans Day, not to mention his election stunt of sending troops to the border, or his habit of insulting military heros and Gold Star parents, etc etc.

So obvious. Should be a huge story.

make himself feel better about himself. He thinks he's the Most Important Person in the Room, that's why he feels the need to insult and belittle others in order to build himself up. Classic malignant narcissism at play here. I agree with this chart except for one trait that wasn't checked. He definitely has a sense of entitlement. Everything else is dead on.

5. Trump does not hate the military, vets, nor their families. He considers them merely his employees.

and like Trump employees, he will only support them if they show him loyalty. In Trump's world the military exists to defend Trump and not to defend the nation.

6. The military has to deal with realities and highly probably scenarios on a daily basis.

What an insult to send troops to the border when no threat exists.

The military is not sitting around planning what they are going to do when Jesus returns, or for any other such fantasy, even if said fantasy comes from the feebled mind of tRump.

By attacking all the institutions which stand for OUR Democracy, and daily does things to undermine it, then claims to all that listen to him the opposite. He wants absolute power to corrupt it all to serve him.
