Though he never served in the US Military, he is familiar with military manners, customs and regalia
I love the fact that Trump won and that he is the right man for the job. But we need to be careful about the Dear Leader stuff. His our chosen leader of our free republic for the limited time we have granted him.
ROTC?
He went to New York Military Academy and played baseball for them.
Military school.
He’ll be serving now as Commander in Chief.
Neatness award?
They didn’t have anything like that when I worked for Uncle Sam
He’s the CEO of the Country. I’d refer to him as ...”The Manager”.
You’re right about the “Dear Leader” stuff. We don’t play that sh*t here.
And you’ll NEVER see him in a Mao jacket... or carpeting-inspired pants suit :^)
Next four years are going to be fun....
They didn’t have anything like that when I worked for Uncle Sam
They called it, "not getting KP for a month."
See? Trump was orange even back then!
MOST ASSUREDLY, that outfit is not Lurking in President Trump’s past...
He is, after all, actually, provably American...
wrestling, football, baseball...... I wonder if Uncle Joe still wants to take him out behind the gym?
I can’t remember if GWB did this but everytime I saw BO, he had some CIC patch or emblem on his coat, jacket or t-shirt so no one would forget who he was, I guess. I wonder if they will take those back when he is booted out of the WH or will he continue to wear them anyway.
And, God Almighty, anyone remember Obama’s *** STUPID**** ‘Office of the President-Elect’ podium!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
I was actually embarrassed for him, bless his heart...
I went to Culver Military Academy - THE best military school in the nation then, a junior West Point - so good militarily (annual Army inspection for its ROTC) and academically that it could send 2 grads each year to each service academy on its own without a Congressional appointment..........I graduated a 2nd Lt. because as a 2 yr. student I was ineligible for the highest rank - Captain.
NYMA was a superb military academy then, in every way. And even then, Trump was one of their top students and top officers. Look at his resume’ there - it was no light thing.
He was a leader of leaders at NYMA - and this alone better qualifies him for the Presidency than Hillary - when Trump was 18!
I spent two summers at Culver and it was one of the best schools I ever went to.
Finally. A president who knows how to salute.
Culver? Cool.
I used to compete against them in equestrian events, back in the day.
you’d be wrong....... very wrong
CEO’s lead, they set the direction of the company
Managers take the CEO’s orders and execute them
In the 60’s Culver was one of the top 5 secondary schools in the nation. I think it’s now down in the 20’s...not sure.
It was two of the best years of my life. Military discipline then was tops. When I learned of the school from visiting, I asked my parents if they would pay to send me there - I was 16 and had gotten into the wrong crowd in HS. The level of academics was incredible. God’s grace I graduated in the top 1/4 of my class. Barely!
A majority of the student body was from VERY wealthy families (not mine) from all over the nation, but a good number came on scholarships. Many had generations of Culver grads.
Most Culver grads of my class are very conservative, but a small number of course are not. As far as I can tell, most have become very successful in their lives - which I would expect.
