Riffing on the Atlantic article about Trump's alleged disdain for the military, Tim argues Trump is genuinely confused by anyone who'd risk their life for modest pay, contrasting military sacrifice with Trump's transactional worldview.
- Trump is telling people to vote twice.
- Trump doesn't like the military and doesn't respect people who wear uniforms for low pay.
- Trump is genuinely confused as to why anybody would do anything that doesn't net them a lot of money and the ability to live in a mansion.
- Tim questions whether anyone truly believes Trump understands the sacrifices that servicemen and women make.
- Trump has never done anything in his entire life that doesn't directly benefit him.
- The Atlantic published an article by Jeffrey Goldberg quoting officials claiming Trump disdains the military.
- The military does not want Trump; high-ranking Trump administration officials confirmed this to Fox News.
- Trump's threat to deploy the military domestically hurts recruitment numbers because no one signs up thinking they'll fight on American streets.
- Explaining to Trump why someone joined the military to make a sacrifice for others' freedom would be like speaking an alien language to him.
- Tim would understand military service better if recruits were honest about wanting to kill people rather than claiming they're securing freedom.
