In reply to the discussion: This is not okay. Airmen onboard the USS Wasp wearing patches with a likeness of Trump [View all]Sapient Donkey
(1,568 posts)but I am not so sure about your statement of it being a non-issue if there were Obama patches. If that happened then it would be all over fox news and other right-wing outlets about the "obama zombies" or whatever it is they used to say. I remember them making a big deal over some kids in a classroom singing a song dedicated to Obama after he won.
We're not them, though, and I would prefer if we don't follow them down that path. That being said, if I was in charge that aircrew or any other group of people then I wouldn't want any of my people wearing anything that could be divisive and decrease effectiveness. That's whether it is Trump, Obama or anyone else. The whole keep politics out of the workplace should apply here. At the very least to keep stories like this from happening.
