Already, the remarks by #Trump & #Hegseth are drawing criticism from former #military officials. “I couldn’t be prouder of our highest ranking leaders for maintaining an #apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton.
He added, “#PeteHegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals & admirals to rant about facial hair & brag about how many pull-ups he can do, & have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.”
[that sums it up well]
🧵
The low light of Trump’s speech came when he complained he couldn’t use the “n-word” anymore.
#Trump was speaking to hundreds of #US generals & admirals when he got on the subject of #nuclear weapons. The word nuclear was not one to “throw around,” he said.
“We can’t let people throw around that word, I call it the n-word. There are 2 n-words, & you can’t use either of them.”
“You can’t use either of them,” he said again.
Please take the time to give it a quick read. I found it quite helpful, I hope you do.
