Trump is destroying the military with his divisive rhetoric

He was busy last night posting Q-Anon nonsense. In one of his posts, he supports a military tribunal for the "traitors" that reminded the troops that they did not have to follow "illegal" orders.

So, what's the big deal? If the orders are "illegal", no one should follow them? Is he afraid that the military will not follow legal orders? He is not a stable individual. It doesn't take a genius to see that.

What if he orders the Guard to shoot protesters in the legs, as he has suggested in the past? What if he decides to drop a nuclear weapon on Venezuela? He once asked, what good are the nuclear weapons if you don't use them?

The military has a lot of Trump supporters within its ranks. He has politicized them. There was a time when politics was kept out of the military. But, Trump sees a way to divide and conquer, which has been his mantra since coming down that gold escalator.

But, he has rhetoric, since the Congress passed a bill to make the Epstein files public, has been volatile and dangerous.

He should not be ignored. He should be censured by the US Senate. He needs to understand that we do not have a King in this country, and we do not want one.
