Of course.

But then some cult member will mention that one time where Trump grabbed a Marine's cover (military term for hat) when it blew off and put it back on that Marine's head. Or that one time Obama or Biden forgot to reciprocate a salute made to them.
Nixon ended the Vietnam war, Nixon increased veterans benefits, Nixon ended the draft.

The most disgraced American president prior to Trump cared more about the troops than Trump.

Edit: It's also worth noting that Nixon fought in WW2 and didn't flee the draft thanks to a rich daddy like Trump and Musk did.
Fair point, the presidents I mentioned were the ones I am most familiar with since I was old enough to remember them (I was too young when Regan and Bush senior were in office). Hence why I mentioned them and not others like Nixon.

Trump is talking about putting a 104% combined tarrif on China if China doesn't back down. Pretty sure that won't work on China.

So much disinformation coming from his side that his supporters are parroting the same things. It's amazing what people will do or say when they are in a cult. Left the brain at the door.
I got nothing to say here.

I will be very surprised if China blinks first tbh.

Russia is not happy with the tariffs btw which is kind of funny given how much Trump has gone out of his way to please them recently. The price of oil and gas has plummeted which has knocked something like 30% off Russia's economy forecasts.

Ironically enough, Russia is one of a very few select countries, that had no tariffs placed on them. What a shitshow.
