(CNN)President Donald Trump has once again weighed in on potential disciplinary action against Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, appearing to override a Navy decision to initiate a review that could result in him being stripped of his status as a SEAL.

The Navy's review could have led to Gallagher's expulsion from the elite warfare community, according to officials directly familiar with the matter.

"The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher's Trident Pin. This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!" Trump tweeted Thursday morning.

The Trident Pin, which is worn by Navy SEALs, is awarded following their completion of an intense qualification course and symbolizes membership of the elite military community.

Asked about Trump's tweet, a spokesperson for the US Navy referred all questions to the White House. Defense officials have previously told CNN that the Pentagon does not necessarily view tweets as orders and it is unclear if an official order has been received at this time.

He can't be trusted.

3. Take military honesty and honor down a notch....

.... it makes trDump who smells like a bucket of shit, all of a sudden begin to smell like perfume.

Wrong is right for macho men,... but pinko fag libs carefully differentiate right from wrong and conduct themselves accordingly.
