Donald Trump complained about what he called the “political correct military” when asked about the service of women and transgender people during a campaign stop today in Herndon, Virginia.


......................
“We’re going to get away from political correctness,” Trump answered to applause. “We’re gonna have to do that.”

“We have a politically correct military, and it’s getting more and more politically correct every day, and a lot of the great people in this room don’t even understand how it’s possible to do that. And that’s through intelligence not ignorance, believe me, because some of the things they’re asking you to do and be politically correct about are ridiculous.”

He went on to say that he would defer to “the generals, the admirals, the people on top” as it concerns particular policies regarding women and transgender soldiers.

First he rags about the PC military--then he says he will refer to the admirals. ha ha. Recall that he said a few weeks ago he would appoint his own generals!

Maybe Tangerine Boy feels emasculated because there are women who served their country in uniform while he never had the guts to.

There are plenty of scary people in Trump's campaign. Flynn could be the scariest.
