All caps isn’t calm.
I can easily imagine a couple mil guys talking to Trump - active duty, retired, whatever - and suggesting that it might be a really good thing if he ran and telling him some of what’s been going on, and offering some help.
Sounds like a good thing to me if they did.
They would just call him up ( and get through? ), set up a meeting at Trump Tower or Mar-A-Lago? REALLY?
Trump has known and donated to many pols, throughout his life; mostly for business reasons.
Friends in the Military? No; though he admires them and has always donated to certain charities for Vets.
