Trump Blasts Military Generals, Says They Are ‘Embarrassing To Our Country’

Hours earlier, he said he’d rely on the generals’ expertise to defeat ISIS.


Appearing at the Commander-in-Chief forum on MSNBC, Donald Trump said the generals of the U.S. military were “embarrassing” to America.

Trump said that the generals had been “reduced to rubble.”

Trump has previously said he knows more about ISIS than the generals.

All of this is particularly confusing, since, just hours earlier, Trump said that he would rely on the generals of the U.S. military to create a plan to defeat ISIS.

I could have done better than he did just by showing up. Maybe I should run, to see how many people would support me too. Why not, he is.

You don't say that about the generals in front of the troops that they command. That had to infuriate many manny servicemen and women.

Boy, they sure do need Trump to come along and tell them to produce a plan.

what a few of the x special forces guys have piped into his head. And of course Trump let it all go to head . But that is because Trump is a pin head and a Vitenam war draft dodger. Believe that and remember it good ! If only he knew that ,he might even be of a position to fix what is broken within himself. What pin heads do ,is they take little scraps of information piped into their heads and they twist it all around here and than there, mental gymnastics , they inflate the highlights all of which is kind of like it is all tightly balled up as they struggle to rip out a point to tell ,and of course it's all bull shit .No but believe it really he knows ,no he thinks he knows, no he's sure he knows, well ,he knows he could be wrong ,but he doubts he is. ! Fact is ,he's never been there, knows nothing about it. Another tail gunner Joe blowing smoke up their butts 10 times and again.

Anyways, his fans just love that bull shit.




Notice Christie riding next to general Fog Nozzle. Now Christie wasn't aware that the general was unfit to wear the uniform due to his obesity. A look at Christie in picture no. 2 and you can see just why it is Christie was clueless.Never been there,knows nothing about it.Inbetween the wars, inbetween the lines.

It's easy to see through as is Trump.

Finagled his way out of it and made sure none of his kids would ever serve.

But Trump said it and he's a straight-shooting honest guy who tells it like it is, so he can say it.
