Trump says Pentagon chiefs are accommodating weapons makers

President Donald Trump on Monday accused the United States’ military leadership of being beholden to arms manufacturers, in an attack on his own administration only days after reports that he had mocked fallen soldiers. Speaking at a combative White House news conference, Trump said leaders at the Pentagon probably weren’t “in love with me” because “they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.” “Some people don’t like to come home, some people like to continue to spend money,” Trump said. “One cold-hearted globalist betrayal after another, that’s what it was.” The remarks come after The Atlantic reported that Trump disparaged American troops as “suckers” and “losers” for dying in battle. The article, which has been corroborated by a number of news outlets, sent shock waves through Washington. The Atlantic report also said Trump made dismissive remarks while visiting the grave of John Kelly’s son at Arlington National Cemetery. Kelly was Trump’s chief of staff at the time and is a retired Marine general. He was ousted from his White House post in January 2019, and Trump has since routinely disparaged Kelly as incapable.

Polls indicate that the majority of US soldiers now support Joe Biden, and Trump resents the fact that retired US military officers strongly push back against his fascism.

If Obama had ever said anything like this, Trump Fan Nation would have a collective heart attack. But when their military-hating crush Trump says it, no biggie.

Many on the right now despise the military because the top Generals said that they weren't going to attack Americans in American cities to please the CiC.
