Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
How much you wanna bet the majority of personnel on that aircraft carrier would still happily vote for trump’s successor (Vance? Trump again, illegally? A festering maggotty sack of feces? Anyone with an [R] next to their name?) in 2028?
MAGA people never learn.
As soon as he’s out, his wannabe successors will put all the things they can’t defend on his mental decline. Once elected, they’ll do exactly the same things.
A lot of the military loves deployments. You get extra pay that’s untaxed, which help you buy that new jeep renegade. Deployments also allow you to get over the dreaded e6 hump and become a platoon leader.
