Trump doubles down on threats to defense, coronavirus relief bills

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump is again threatening to veto legislation that would rename U.S. military installations named after prominent Confederate figures, despite its support from Congress and the military.

“I don’t care what the military says. I’m supposed to make the decision,” the president said during a testy exchange with Fox News’ Chris Wallace in an interview aired Sunday.

“Fort Bragg is a big deal," said, referring to the huge military base in North Carolina. "We won two World Wars… out of Fort Bragg. We won out of all of these forts that now they want to throw those names away.”

Trump’s issue is with House and Senate base-renaming provisions in the pending National Defense Authorization Act, which authorize $740 billion for defense spending in fiscal 2021.

Please proceed Donny. Braxton Bragg FWIW was a rather mediocre General.

1. Names are important to Trump

Look at how he's plastered his own name everywhere.

2. WW2 Was Won In Europe & The Pacific

Not at Bragg and not from Bragg.
And essentially every base that existed then sent personnel into that fight.
This is beyond stupid.
It's doubling down on epic stupidity.

3. I liked the reporter who observed that it's like the whole world has changed in the last few months.

... and drumpf is still living in the past, fighting ancient battles no one cares about now.

4. I would love to see, say, Camp Beauregard renamed....

...as Camp John McCain! Just to see his head explode!

And rename one of those bases as Camp Benjamin Davis, in honor of the first commander of the Tuskegee Airmen. That would definitely blow a few arteries in his pumpkin cranium.

5. His Vietnam was some whorehouse in NYC. Penicillin shot in his ample ass saved him.

6. Yeah, keep "dominating" the military in your childish way, Donny.

What could possibly go wrong?
