From attacking a former POW to nixing a cemetery visit, the president has often disrespected service members.WASHINGTON ― Two days after skipping a visit to an American military cemetery near Paris because it was raining, President Donald Trump called for effectively disenfranchising overseas military members voting in Florida, raising further questions about the draft-evading presidents commitment to the armed services.
The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged, Trump tweeted early on Monday, the observed Veterans Day holiday for the federal government. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!
Scott and DeSantis are the GOPs candidates for U.S. senator and governor in Florida whose election-night margins of victory have resulted in legally mandated recounts.
But skipping those recounts would not only violate state law, it would ignore the ballots of tens of thousands of Florida-based troops deployed overseas. Those ballots are supposed to be counted if they arrive by this coming Friday.

Apparently "truth spreading" will not occur with this OP.
