Trump breaks EVERY RULE that stands in his way. He can BREAK the one about his son LURCH being too tall to fight in Iran

If we put "boots on the ground" in Iraq, I want two of those boots to belong to Barron FUCKING Trump.

Of course, looking at Trump the father it’s obvious he doesn’t believe in paying tailors to do anything. If it weren’t for his height, he would come up with bone spurs or something no Trump has ever going to defend this country like regular American do.

Midshipmen are required to do military service for the education, if I'm not mistaken.

But yes, David Robinson is a patriotic American.
