I expect Trump will respond by insulting the Marine Corps and not lose a single voter.
Will we ever see the breaking point of conservatives' support for Trump? Trump can kick them in the balls and thank him if he says "MAGA".
Trump can kick them in the balls and they'll straight face blame Biden.
Wow that's quite a convincing argument. Looking forward to ball-kicking for America.
Did you take an actual Trump speech and replace the original topic with ball kicking? Because that was spot on.
This speech stayed on topic for an entire seven sentences, Trump hasn't been this coherent since 2014.
I'm not gonna kink shame. They can enjoy what they enjoy, but it's bullshit to force us to be a part of it.
My hope was we would see a slow shift after he was out of office like with Bush, but now I'm convinced he'll be the next Reagan. Decades from now we'll still be feeling the consequences while they talk about how he was the last great president who you could really trust.
Are we absolutely sure he can raise his legs that far?
The person is laying down. Bam. Problem solved.
Are you kidding? Marines love it when a person of higher rank insults them. His vote share will go up.
He’s done worse and the military still votes for him. Tbf soldiers and anyone who is willing to die for their government is an idiot
