1. Why was the President wearing part of a uniform he has no right to wear?

Just a thought.

[Leghorn21]

4. Because - he can? Same reason he does everything else, cause no one ever says NOPE! Say,

does he still have that Purple Heart that fan gave him? That would look spiff on his yacht-captain costume! Dang, who was the rich dude in Gilligan's Island? That's who I'm imagining he thinks he is today -

7. For a rich man's son who received 5 deferments,

Trump shows a certain fondness for the uniform he declined to wear.

[Leghorn21]

10. He sure does, guillaumeb, and I find it one of the most repulsive of his behaviors - my father was

a Depression-era farm boy, joined the Marines, fought at Iwo Jima and Chosin - and we have to show this poseur "respect"?

Nah. Btw, I dropped Stephen Miller a post card last week suggesting, as he is so young and strong, that he's wasting his talents as a writer/thinker/consultant, and should just go join the United States Marine Corps, ride on down to Parris Island, get some skills behind all his yapping, y'know, and BE A MAN. I await his reply!

12. Interesting similarity:

My father was also a Depression era farmer from New Brunswick who came down to Maine to enlist in the Navy in 1943.

In my view, Trump is a complete phony. He believes in nothing so nothing is sacred to him.

15. Awww, bless our dear dads, g! Hard times! - and how on earth any vet or active military who has

watched this BAD ACTOR (even peripherally) can back him up is - well, I'll go with "unfathomable" here...

13. He got a ship visit cap and jacket. Not "part" of a uniform, even though they are similar.

All high ranking visitors/ship riders get them - it was a popular "tradition" back when I was active in the Reagan era, so it's nothing new.

Most ship's stores and exchanges have "Naval" gear that can be purchased for civilians or for use in civilian clothes.

The posts I have seen refer to part of a uniform.

3. Who else pictured this?

"The president, dressed in naval cap and jacket, moved to our position inside an interior area of the ship where navel officers explained some of the carrier's functions"

[Leghorn21]

5. Ha! Well, it's not the millionaire from Gilligan's Island, but he'll certainly do! eom
