In reply to the discussion: 'It infuriates us': Veterans rage at 'abusive' Trump over reports of him stiffing soldiers [View all]EndlessWire
(8,088 posts)62. I wouldn't forget about this, would you?
I'd publicize this until all members of the military branches know of this cheating of benefits. The Orange Pedophile can't maintain his dictatorship without the military. He totally disrespects the military. But, he'll need them to maintain his rule. He has weakened his control of them.
You don't do this if you want something from someone. You don't say, "Work harder for me, and I'll give you less." Right now, they are recruiting ICE to be his personal army, and offering huge sums of money to them. I doubt they'll ever see those rewards, but clearly, they are placed above our standing National Guard.
So, the best thing is to tell all the military what he has done. The rank and file should know this.

OP
TSF is not smart enough to know about such loopholes, so who is responsible for this abuse?

This needs to be put on every TV station but since we worship capitalism and you owns the media they won't allow it to

I was just thinking about the $50k signing bonus. Are they going to stiff those guys or are they going to make them

Trump is alienating a number of key demographics that have been supporting him. I think that's a good sign.

You would think he'd be taking care of men in arms he needs to prop him up

He has a casual disregard for anything that doesn't immediately gratify or enrich him.

What will it take for "Always Vote Democrat" to penetrate the "Republicans are stronger on Deefence" crowd?
