    He slammed what he said were “fat troops” and added “it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the world. It’s a bad look.”

    Can’t believe Cankles didn’t take this personally…

    “She starts spitting in his face and he’s not allowed to do anything,” Mr. Trump claimed. “If it’s OK with you, generals and admirals, I’ve taken that off. I say, ‘They spit. We hit.’ Is that OK? We think so.”

        Specifically, he’s mad he hasn’t been able to get popular support for gunning down protestors. Quite literally this man wants every protest in America, over anything vaguely left or center, to be met with a hail of .50cal, tanks, everything.
