Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe really clear and disturbing issue about the disparaging comments about the military
His disparaging remarks about fallen soldiers, his umbrage about having to go to two cemeteries to honor young men who gave their lives, his characterizing generals as murders who are driven to sacrifice soldiers to profiteers actually have a larger context that is even more revealing.
He disparages them and everyone else.
Democrats, Republicans, scientists, his own appointed cabinet level appointees, and even his followers.
His most famous statement that "I could shoot someone on 5th avenue and my supporters would still support me" is really a cynical and disparaging comment on how stupid and evil his own supporters are.
He disparages his own children, siblings, everyone.
He disparages everyone except his beloved idol, Vladimir Putin, who has put a bounty on the heads of our soldiers, a tactic that Trump probably admires as being clever and cost effective.

Never will, I'm sure.
People with Cluster B personality disorders are always disparaging other people. The only way that they can feel good about themselves is to tear everyone else down.
Trump isnt unique in this regard. In fact, hes quite typical.
