It really is an incredible talent that this sociopath has--to constantly say insane things and put his foot in his mouth and to still have the support of his stupid MAGA cult members. --end the war in Ukraine "on day 1" --lower egg prices "on day 1" --affordability is a hoax --highest approval numbers ever --people need ID to go to the grocery store --childhood vaccines are the size of soda bottles I could go on. . . The morale crisis on the USS Abraham Lincoln has been in the headlines over the past several days. The ship has been at sea for 9 months without any "at port" days where the servicemen can get off and spend some time on land. The pictures of the food that they are being served are horrific. They are running out of soap, deodorant, toothpaste, etc. Our service members have been sharing their experiences with their families here in the US. Of course Pete Kegseth has been denying that conditions are less than ideal. Today Trump was traveling for a speech on Long Island. On his way to Air Force One he denied that family members of the sailors were concerned about the conditions on the ship. He denied it and said that they weren't. He also was asked if the USS Abraham Lincoln had been away from shore for too long. His response? "No, not nearly long enough." For real. That is what he actually said on camera. That is incredibly insane coming from a regular normal person but coming from a 5-time draft dodger who never served a day in his life it is beyond outrageous. Is America great again yet?

Aye it's not good Military news outlets reported that some USS Abraham Lincoln sailors had attempted to jump overboard, while families have raised concerns about mental health aboard the ship. Heard about this a few days ago The toilets are all broken Laundry facilities broken Basic things, It's time that shop was taken into port and the sailors given a long shore leave
