Last night, I watched MSNBC trump stepping down from air force one coming from his Nazi rally. Just after he descended from the air force one staircase, in his undid tie, he was met with an Air Force Serviceman in full salute, waiting for his commander and chief to return the salute. Quickly he return a salute that would assure would make a drill sergeant stand on his tip toes if any cadet salutes him as trump did to our serviceman.
BUT that is what is NOT disheartening!
Quickly after he return his salute, he dropped his arms and then waved them out with body language, Ok Now What, towards the serviceman who was still position. It was very apparent that this President that Trumpers support, was taking it out on our serviceman.
Disrespectful!
That video should be used over and over as a campaign ad, kicking off the military men and women!
