through twitter and bloviating speeches at campaign rallies but not through any policies or events.

General Dynamics, Halliburton, Academi (formerly Blackwater), and many, many others!

See this exhaustive — and exhausting — list

Too bad the list didn't include $ signs to show how many million$ are being robbed from the taxpayer each year.

Oh, that's at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_100_Contractors_of_the_U.S._federal_government

how well he'll be received the next time he wants to do one of his dumb-ass rallies for the VFW?
They can be all for him when he's throwing money at the military, but to be SO disrespectful on such a special day............

and I was going to say nobody cares where he is because he got his ass kicked by Tony Evers! As for Trump? He's probably in front of a tv, eating a big mac and watching Faux News.

are nothing more to him than back-drop props and photo-ops.

The first time I heard him refer to us as "his" military, I wanted to gag.

Now, to toss more red meat to his base of toothless mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging stupidifiers, he's completely screwed up thousands of soldiers' holiday leave plans, forced to protect us from the caravan that absolutely nobody's talking about any more.

Yaknow, Spanky, one of the quickest ways to fuck up morale is to start cancelling leave, especially around the holidays. Many will now not see their families, their loved ones and most importantly, their children.

To make matters worse, as I write this, Stumpie is trying to suppress active duty absentee ballots from being counted in FL.

Smart moves, trmpie, you can now kiss the military vote goodbye.

But wait until it gets closer to the next election he'll again claim he's done more than anyone ever in our history to help them, which again is total BS. HE hates our country , he hates our service members, and he hates it that that they were the center of attention over him. Its all about himself. He wants total control of them to use as his personal weapon whenever he wants. Watch how long before he suggests replacing people again, more corrupt people he can manipulate, like he's now doing to the DOJ. Its his pattern. Trump could care less about them losing their lives from fighting past wars, and probably calls them names for joining. He's shown how little he cares attacking gold star families , and war hero's.
