Trump has "politicized" the military.

Just as he has "politicized" almost everything in our society.

Just as he has divided and politicized the Supreme Court.

It's hard to think of even one group in America that he has not divided.

He has even divided families and lifetime friends.

If he had chosen to use his powers for the good of America, he could have been a great president.

1. How long before he claims he was in the military?

He went to a military style school for wealthy troubled teens. I'm surprised he or his goons haven't attempted to spin that to prove that yes he did serve in the military and that's why he didn't need to go to vietnam.

7. Yes Trump lives in a fantasy world, detached from reality.

He is imposing that fantasy on the rest of the world.
We are just disposable props in his imaginary reality TV show playing in his head.

And betrayed the Constitution they serve.

But it's early dictator days. Not everyone is a maga stooge.

He blamed the US for the destruction of his country.

Putin made good on the promise he made to himself.
