One does wonder how the US military feels about potentially being asked to battle Canada, Mexico, and NATO at the same time by a gibbering madman who vocally shits on soldiers and veterans all the time

I honestly wonder what the effect will be from soldiers en masse saying “we’re doing what now?”

So they invited me to speak directly to the grifter president.
