Trump has lost the military. [View all]

My SIL and daughter came over Christmas to visit. He is stationed in Germany and is a captain there. I asked about Trump and he said everyone hate him for the way he has treated the generals. I was somewhat surprised and rather glad they have seen through his BS and will not be for him come 2020. Donald Trump, your military says fuck you.
