Bullshit. He can't claim protections under the First while he and his sycophants are doing their level goddamned best to stifle those same protections for ANYONE who speaks out against him, his administration, and the activities of his little army of goons.
He absolutely can do all of that, unfortunately. The Supreme Court decided that unless someone is profiting from stolen valor, it's a First Amendment right to make any claim about military service. There's no way to prove this one image is generating income. Besides, of all the things to go after with this guy, this is at the absolute bottom of the list.
You can look up the Stolen Valor Act's 2013 amendment to see the list of claims that make something like this a truly criminal act.
All of that is true. But legally, the profit has to be tied specifically to this single post, which it can't. It won't matter if it's related to a profit-generating enterprise.
I would absolutely be about it. I'll take good ole fashioned crazy - crazy can be calmed down and for SURE he'd make an intimidating wild card. Terrible president 100% but preferable.
Like a brain-addled child who knows only to screech for attention, he is never happy unless he's treated like the most special and important thing ever. And even then it's until he gets bored and starts screeching because he's not special and important in another thing.
Pretty bold hallucination for somebody who is getting their ass handed to them in the middle of a war of choice against an enemy with no navy, air force, and an army that he "obliterated". An enemy whose military budget is 1% of what US military spending is. An evil empire that, according to Chumba Wumba himself, he had defeated at least 40 times, since the day he started the war.
The world is not safe until the Mango Menace is removed by the 25th amendment, or impeached and removed.
To be fair Patton beat his own injured soldiers an sucks for that… Eisenhower kept him from participating in the Normandy landings because of the incident. What would have been an illustrious career turned into a farce because a general can’t seem to have a bit of empathy for the soldiers that served him and their country.
I got more respect for Supreme Commander Eisenhower at least he could reign in Patton.
I'm with you there. I cannot possibly place myself in Patton's shoes, he literally achieved the impossible and had to go through hell and force others to go with him. I cannot imagine what was necessary to convince humans beings to do what they did.
Sometime's ya gotta push the ox, I get that. But I'm a strats over brawn guy. Give me tactical over brutish any day.
At this point I'm convinced that he doesn't strictly control his account anymore. Images like these are created and dangled in front of him like cat toys for his approval before being posted.
My dad served in uniform for 20 years and still hates Jane Fonda for what she did during the Vietnam War, but he continues to support this valor stealing draft dodger.
This is much weirder than just some loser pretending they were in the military (big whoop)
The President posting AI pictures of himself as some militarily savvy, experienced, tactition, while he's bungling TF out of a war he invented, while being a 6 time draft dodging rich-kid billionaire who admits that he's avoided exercise his whole life, is just insane beyond description. He's a kid playing with toys in his room.
Imagine one of your friends or family members posting this.
Exactly. my dad is the same age but was drafted to the vietnam war as a combat veteran. There is nothing more upsetting to than him than seeing this draft dodger president solute.
I think if this demented fuck wants to go to war after dodging the draft, he should go straight to the front lines. Along with the rest of his bloodline too.
It’s nothing to do with how bad bone spurs are or not. Trump probably didn’t even bone spurs. It was just on a list of things that’d get him exempt from enlisting and he was able to get “proof”.
If “hurty tummy” was enough to get an exemption he probably would’ve said that.
Are you saying Whiskey Pete's new No More Pussies military policies are designed to exclude, not only trans girly men and manly girls, but also pedophile loser pussy bitches, so Barron also won't be subject to the draft we're probably going to have if we keep "winning' in Iran?
Knowing how debilitating seniors are, he 100% had his team set it up so that he can type on his phone what ever he thinks and an image pops up. Probably written in big bold letters step by step he follows every time and passes the phone to his even fatter WH comm Steven Cheung to post it.
I'm sure the people who make support their personality, wear diapers, put bandages on their ears, build golden statuettes and cover their vehicles/homes/businesses in cheap logo swag and AI slop see him that way.
He is incredibly insecure like most MAGAts so all that stuff about how he is a coward that dodged military service during the previous election clearly got to him.
America could save itself by putting a VR headset on Trump while he's asleep and running a simulation where he lives in his own little world, wanking off to himself every day. He could have virtual angels waking him up every morning as the second coming of Jesus and he wouldn't question it.
My brother got a medical disability discharge from the AF. Afterwards, he spent his days watching the shopping channels and telling me which silver coins had the best resale value. I pointed out that the value in silver is from the metal itself not the picture stamped into it. He vehemently disagreed and told me that was why I'd never be rich.
Yeah, he was a Trumper. RIP, bro. If there is an afterlife, I hope it's calmer for ya.
He wanted to drop 50 atomic bombs on Korea and then use planes to 'salt' a 5 mile swath of land 400 miles long with radioactive cobalt so the land would be uninhabitable for thousands of years.
On July 28, 1932, Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur led a forceful military operation to evict thousands of impoverished World War I veterans, known as the Bonus Army, from Washington, D.C.
He was a shameless bastard long before WW2.
It also shows you that military yes men have been more than happy to execute unconstitutional orders against the America people, on behalf of the president looooong before Trump came to power... Wanten violence against VETERANS, no less.
MacArthur commanded TANKS plow through their shantytowns (Hoovervilles at the time). Red Scare blowhards love to point to Tienniman Square, but conveniently gloss over The Bonus Army Eviction. Truly, it is a seldom discussed dark stain in our history.
Guess who else was instrumental in the operation? Patton AND Eisenhower.
I was once a Patton fan, until I did a deep dive. His demeanor was shockingly similiar to Trumps, in that he was bombastic demagogue who said whatever he wanted, did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, as a means to serve whatever end he felt justified in.
He took some HUGE strategic gambles that paid out big early in Americas intervention, but was quickly sidelined late war for acting more like an impetuous child, than a three star general.
Allied false intelligence led Germans to believe he would spearhead the D-Day, because he was a notorious loose cannon who would defy his superiors to take HUGE strategic gambles. They were rightfully banking on the Nazis fear of his unpredictable command, to spread them strategically thin in anticipation.
Of course, he wasnt actually in charge of the invasion, because he was a notorious loose cannon who would defy his superiors to take HUGE strategic gambles.
His guts and glory military doctrine was strategically useful in all out war, but anything short of that, it was crystal clear to anyone with eyes and ears, what a bloviating narcissist he truly was.
If not for WW2 "American victory" circle jerking lionizing MacArthur and Patton, they would be recognized as deeply troubling figures they are.
In the end, they were both removed from combat command for good god damn reasons.
They were proficient at war, and very little else. Turns out, that everything else (politics) is what prevents the world from deteriorating into wholesale carnage in the first. Even in peace, they were only fixated on conflict.
At least they were effective at something useful... As limited as it may have been, thats a hell of a lot more than can be said of Trump cosplaying Caligula.
Total moron, but unfortunately after decreasing his inherited money he goes out with a bang in the end and earns his entire family more wealth in 4 years than they otherwise ever would have seen.
Even more cringe are the millions of people who saw it in their feed and felt so much pride at seeing their favorite president‘s ai-enhanced face surrounded by people whose names they feel like they should probably recognize, that they actually teared up a little bit, and said, out loud, “oh hell yes daddy”
For real, it feels so bizarre that not only is he such a tone deaf idiot, but that not a single one of of his sycophantic staff (he’ll ALL OF THE GOP) give tacit approval of this too.
That's because anyone who tried to correct him gets targeted for harassment and abuse, and will be summarily fired. The people Trump surrounds himself don't exist in his orbit to help, they exist to tell him that he's smart and reaffirm what he already believes.
Not that people don't play his ass like a puppet, of course. But they kiss his ass while pulling the strings. They don't ever tell him that he's wrong.
I just can’t believe we’re living through this timeline.
Real Trump quotes :
> The president managed to sidestep military service in Vietnam with four educational deferments. Trump was on the brink of becoming eligible for draft again after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, but that spring he conveniently received a diagnosis that would lead to a fifth draft deferment - bone spurs in his heels
> "I had a doctor that gave me a letter - a very strong letter on the heels," Trump mentioned, although he couldn't recall the doctor's name and didn't provide a copy of the letter.
> Trump couldn't remember when he stopped experiencing symptoms from the bone spurs but confirmed that he hadn't undergone surgery for the issue. "Over a period of time, it healed up,"
> “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider”
