        And he "holds generals in high esteem?" How does he treat people he doesn't respect? Oh...never mind.

        I'll never understand why the Military went "all in" for Trump in the first place. He respects no one.

        He is losing the support of us leathernecks,each day. Especially after insulting Mad Dog. Republicans respected him also.

        Do you think Trump gets direct cash payments from Russia? Or is it more of a barter thing?

        He bad-mouths all the generals and everyone who served except those that kiss his ass for a signed #MAGA hat. Disgusting coward who never served = Don the con. I have no respect for any member of the military that defends his disrespects for anyone that served.

        It’s just disrespectful and dastardly to speak about any military veteran, especially a general in the way Trump does.

        Well, our military certainly at it apex certainly avoids being reflective of Stillwell's.
