Stars & Stripes is a great paper.
📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media.

It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops.
So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.

In 2020, Trump tried to overturn the election. In 2024, he built an army of election deniers.
This year, he is raising the stakes. He said he wants to control vote counting. He suggested that he should've seized ballot boxes. Today, he said "We shouldn’t even have an election" at all.
