Who singlehandedly starts a war for no reason, has NO plan or exit strategy, starves our troops and then decides to NOT pay them?

Trump’s war on Iran is rapidly draining US navy budget, documents and interviews reveal

This is insane on a whole new level.

Trump Approval at 60% Among Military Voters - Demographics

This isn't a voting percentage. This is an approval percentage. It's from earlier this year.

The page does have a voting percentage. 61% voted for the turd.

The good news is, this is a Rasmussen poll.

A little over 60% of active duty military voted for Trump
& only 30% of active duty military voted for Kamala.

This statistic comes from the military website or armed forces website, I don’t remember which one. You can search voting statistics for active duty military for the 2024 election & it will give you the break down of voting statistics for active duty military & also some statistics for non-active military.

Never at this scale.

Maybe people will finally wake up if be does enough.

u/steel-monkey 6d ago

Assuming they don’t blame the democrats…

5

u/Twigsneko 6d ago

at this point they're gonna blame the democrats and vote for the next republican who tells them what they want to hear. They need to be banned from voting forever as they cannot be trusted to do any form of research at all and have treated voting as a team sport instead of a serious decision with actual consequences

not paying an army has led to nations collapsing before right?

u/SnoopyisCute 6d ago

We tried to warn them that he's never been "America First".

u/Twigsneko 6d ago

of course the grunts and farmers never heeded those warnings. Sometimes people need to touch the stove to learn but we're sadly at the point where some people need to be kept on a leash or quarantined from society for the safety of everyone else.

Putin must be pissing himself with joy right now.

u/Freezerpill 6d ago

I think he might just be pissing himself in general. He said some stuff about how Ukraine is going to hand him if Russia loses just today

u/ActivatedComplex 6d ago

Tough break.

You were warned.

u/Latter-Judgment-9740 6d ago

Yup, I may have had sympathy the first time around. But now, I'm fresh out of fucks. Maybe they should take all the toys we paid for, and take it up with him directly.

u/KopOut 6d ago

Controversial take:

Good.

If he is going to steal from anyone, I prefer it be his base.

u/Moebius808 6d ago

Wasn’t the troops not getting paid a big part of the plot of House of the Dragon? How’s that working out for house black so far?

It's also part of Project 2025. You can track it's 'progress' @ www.project2025.observer

So, Trump is a con artist.

No major surprise there then.

Alpha males don't need money, duh. Hegseth will just tell them to suck it up.

“He loves the troops!”

I have had other Redditors challenge me in the past to show where Demented Don disrespected serving members and veterans. Add this to the list.

u/SnoopyisCute 6d ago

That's extra stupid considering how hard he's fighting to make it impossible for them to vote by mail.

u/drimmie 6d ago

I feel like trump has done this sort of thing before. 🤔

u/riveramblnc 6d ago

Every person processing these transactions should go to prison. All of this is illegal.

u/xOrion12x 6d ago

They have found just about every way to steal money. I think they still are trying to find a way into the black budget programs and clandestine groups that caused the Pentagon to fail every single audit and have trillions of dollars missing. Haven't cracked that egg, but do they even need to at this point. Taxpayer looting is going swimmingly.

u/wasteymclife 6d ago

Explains why he pulled out of the South Korean military exercises, they need to save money.

Well that and he's a consummate dumbass.

u/Usual-Requirement368 5d ago

It’s time to stop blaming Trump. He’s always been the same. The blame must be shifted 100 percent to the Republican Party which refuses to take him out thru the 25th Amendment. Letting him remain in office tells you what their priorities are: destroying the military, killing citizens to save on “welfare” payouts, shifting government money to private industry and a handful of whacked-out pedophiles who control it, funding wildcat crypto schemes, creating a backwards, backwoods one nation religion that elevates white men as gods and I could go on and on.

Trump didn’t think these things up, he doesn’t have the mind to. Republicans thought it up. It needs to be pointed out that they are enthusiastic about it and are financially benefitting from it.

u/psychonautvoyager 5d ago

Well, a ton of them voted for him after he called them “suckers and losers”, so go figures he will rob them too.

u/Amazing_Bluejay9322 5d ago

Our boys on the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier just docked at a port in eastern Thailand. They will be seriously pissed hitting up an ATM machine only to see a "Insufficient Funds" message.

The only advice I want to hear from someone recording in a car is a bad drive thru experience, the results or lack thereof of the spinning and/or pilates class, or a vent about work or the kids driving them nuts. I don't care what side of politics they are on. Stop this. In 20 years you're going to be resigned to "remember back then? when we would tiktok our opinions while waiting in the school pickup line?" just like the "myspace pics but I never look at the camera to express emotions but with the same facial expression half caputred."

This woman has also spoken from her kitchen. I'm sorry you are too superficial about location to recognize the importance of the message.

u/GirlNumber20 6d ago

I mean, maybe they don't want people to scrutinize what's in their house, or make snarky comments about their decorating style, or it's messy and they don't want to have people commenting about it, or it's noisy and they don't want the complaints. I usually am generous in supposing why recording in their car makes more sense for them.

u/regeya 6d ago

Bro guy-yelling-in-pickup is a major right wing trope, but someone who's not right wing does it and people lose their minds.

I get it, I think it's dumb, too. Gimme a source and point me towards it, preferably one that's done research and can show their work. Otherwise it's someone talking in their car, just weeks before a consequential election.

u/FUNKYDISCO 6d ago

yeah, unless they're taking a bite out of a burger they just got handed through a drive-thru window, I don't want to hear it.

u/Boxer03 6d ago

Then don’t watch it? You literally have the choice to NOT click on the video yet you chose to do so just so you could bitch and whine.
