During a cabinet meeting Trump stated:

“I think I would have been a good general, but who knows?”

On the way to him pronouncing himself a good potential general he gave slighted actual military man Mattis with the statement that he had “essentially” fired the general from his position as Secretary of Defense because he had done “not too good” in Afghanistan.

So what do you think, would Trump have made a good general?

He was well liked, competent and a leader at military school so maybe who knows...
 
He would have to get past one day in OTS. Wouldn't make it. Too lazy and undisciplined. And would never have been accepted to a full fledged military academy as he wouldn't make the grade.

The NYMA he attended was a boarding school college prep school rich people sent their problem children to. He was a problem child and still is.

In the intervening half century or so, it would seem that all those traits have atrophied, if they were in existence ever..........

He has demonstratedd that he is unable to select and keep the loyalty of his most important allies. That sums it up.

Whatever happened to simply "Yes, No, Other" options?

This poll has literally six "options" for "no" that demonstrate crass levels of negative bias where a simple "No, explain" would have served.

More lies from an old socialist hippy Trump supporter. Some things never change:

Former cadets recall the change differently. They say school administrators transferred Trump after a freshman named Lee Ains complained of being hazed by a sergeant under Trump’s command. School officials, those cadets say, were concerned that Trump’s style of delegating leadership responsibilities while spending a lot of time in his room, away from his team, allowed problems to fester.

“They felt he wasn’t paying attention to his other officers as closely as he should have,” said Ains, who lives in Connecticut and works in the aerospace industry.

He stated he knows more than they do so sure!

General Disorder maybe.
 
We have zero reason to think Trump would have been a good general.

They disappeared somewhere between his first and second week as captain in military school at 17.

Kids are taught to believe they can be anything. It looks like Trump is a product of secular public education.

Are you serious? He was privately educated his entire academic life.
 
I would have loved to welcome this silver-spoon daddy's boy to Parris Island.

False. It was a proper trolling from the Russian Factory. Feigned support. Like no one was gonna post reports from then? Of course they were. Who didn't know that?
 
Beyond winning battles and bringing home as many of his men as possible, what makes a general a good general?

I have a suspicion his chess game is played at the 2nd grade level.
