Trumps dementia is getting worse. This was just a few hours ago that he tweeted his degrading crap.

The President of the United States fired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, his brother Yevgeny Vindman, as well as Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland as an act of petty revenge. In America, we punish those who speak out and do the right thing like any other dictatorship.

Alexander Vindman earned a Purple Heart serving our country and he was escorted from the White House like a common criminal. Thats not how we should treat people in America. Thats not justice. Its pure spite and vindictiveness.
We the people must fire Trump this November.

(15,068 posts)I didn't even notice that! My guess is that Trump would like to have him thrown out of the military 😡. So far, SO FAR, he can't.

Seriously, if it wasn't for the fact that all military bases and offices are inundated with Fox News I doubt he would have much military support. The goal seems to be to indoctrinate our military to be a right-wing institution. Every once in a while we see a principled exception, but not often enough.
We Democrats rail against Fox News, but we need to do more. It is one of the principal villains we are facing. It is past time we started looking at how to hold them accountable and/or counter their propaganda. We pay for our military and should not stand for allowing Fox to be the default news they all receive 24/7.

(6,477 posts)Not a one, and not in any military. Two of them, Trump's grandfather and Trump himself, are out-and-out draft dodgers. Trump's father paid an unscrupulous tenant physician in cash and rent reductions to write Trump a false diagnosis for the draft board. This makes George W. Bush's draft evasion through Texas Air National Guard service seem positively heroic in comparison.
Don Jr. was 23 years old, and able-bodied on September 11, 2001. Eric Trump was 19 years old and able bodied on the day the US invaded Iraq.
It's just information.
