Trump pays tribute to the military, and himself, on Thanksgiving

Narcissistic Fuck

President Donald Trump on Thursday told members of the military positioned across the globe that they're winning big under his watch.

Trump said in a teleconference with the troops on Thanksgiving Day that more progress has been made in recent months in Afghanistan and in fighting the Islamic State group than had been made in years of the previous administration.

He said of the situation in Afghanistan that: "Everybody's talking about the progress you've made in the last few months since I opened it up."

Trump accused the previous administration of not allowing soldiers on the ground to do their jobs. But he said that now, "We're not fighting anymore to just walk around, we're fighting to win."

3. How insulting. He's telling those soldiers in effect that they totally sucked

and weren't getting anything done at all until HE took office, but NOW they're great. But before that they sucked. Leaving aside what one might think of the policies behind military action in Afghanistan for the past 17 years, what a crappy thing to tell those soldiers.

6. Can you imagine, sitting in some remote posting, doing without, and having

your CIC boast about Wall Street, and telling you that you have been fighting for nothing.

4. If by winning he means hes about to rip away their healthcare and give them a pay cut.

Then hell yeah big fat orange wins....
