Has there ever been a pettier man than Donald Trump ?

I racked my brain and couldn't even come up with a good runner up in comparison.

Trump's officials also removed from the Pentagon a portrait depicting Gen Milley's as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hmmm…

They also removed him from several photographs, most famously one where trump attended the opening of a new canal near Washingt... no wait, that was Stalin.

You're thinking of the re-opening of the America Canal, which hasn't happened yet

What a bitter sack of shit, this man has dedicated his life to this country and this is what he gets…smh

At least he'd rather go out like this than be a piece of shit himself. That means if we ever do get control back, he might be willing to resume his service.

Pledge fealty to the Shit Lord or face the consequences

He’s going to piss off a lot of people right quick. Might come back to him in ways he may not enjoy.

He'll be dead soon, he doesn't care.
