Trump "rattled" by the absence of a standing "O" or soft gentle kisses on his butt from Military leaders. SAD! RIGGED!

Trump left 'rattled' by cold response from military leaders: Ex-general

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-was-rattled-by-cold-response-from-military-leaders-during-speech-ex-general/

“And the other thing I'd say is, President Trump thrives on applause and cheering and interactions with an audience,” he continued.

“And when he didn't get that and instead got quiet professionalism from the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines in the audience, that likely rattled him from the very beginning.”

“And that silence wasn't disrespect,” he elaborated. “It was restraint and discipline and adherence to the oath of office.”

“Yesterday was, to me, a collective reminder of our professional culture that we have in the military that transcends politics. It was on full display, and it was interesting to watch from both sides of the audience,” he observed.

1. Because henwas talking to a highly educated

Crowd, many with multiple advanced degrees. And he talks at a third grade level about stuff a kindergartener would find stupid. Trump is a mad and frankly sad king. That people worship him is a pathetic statement about their sad and meaningless lives.

8. I saw some B-roll not long ago in which a couple of hillbilly princesses were singing

Happy Birthday to "King Trump".

I've seen gibbons that were more evolved than those two wastes of human protoplasm.

2. He and the drunk made the biggest mistake of their lives

That is all

[Miles Archer]

5. Yep...making top Military officials travel to witness MAGAt performance art

I think Hegseth should have challenged them to a hot dog eating contest. He could have ripped open is shirt, chugged a six pack (then crushing each can on his forehead and yelling "YEAAAAAAAAH!," then yelling at them to come up on the stage and TRY to defeat him as he pounded down one Nathan's after another.

Trump could have waddled around the stage, doing his "Moron Dance."

Talk about MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

24. I love it

when he does his little dance to YMCA, not knowing what that song is all about............absolutely hysterical.....

For anyone looking for a pumpkin spiced adult beverage, a few of these actually sound good.

32. For all the times I've heard "Frick and Frack", I never thought about the origin.

Thanks, GoodRaisin, for the education today.

35. Welcome

23. You can say that again

3. There would not have been this professional silence for

Any other pResident, no other President or SecDef, for that matter would ever pull this kind made for TV cheap kabuki stunt.

[obamanut2012]

12. Every President would have that silence

If they had cheered or applauded, you would then know we are 100% lost.

[Tree Lady]

22. The difference being that other

Presidents would know and respect their silence taking what they said to them seriously. But Trump lives off praise and applause and doesn't understand any of the rules.

[obamanut2012]

27. Except he does know, he stated that at the beginning

He knows they don't usually clap, but they are allowed to, and to clap if they want. He said that.

He knew. So does DUI Pete. They were just shocked the Officers adhered to it.

[Tree Lady]

34. I was kind of surprised some of the generals

Didn't clap as from what I heard they are mostly all republicans.

My son n law got up to Lt colonel in the AF and he had 3 years at the pentagon working with the generals when he was a major. It was working with them that turned him more conservative. Thankfully he and my daughter can't stand Trump because he has no morals and is not a good example to the kids.

14. The generals were at a formal military presentation at which applause is not appropriate.

They would have been respectful but quiet no matter which president was addressing them. Members of the military, particularly senior officers, refrain from clapping to avoid seeming to endorse a political agenda because their loyalty is sworn to the Constitution, not to a political party or individual. They are also expected to maintain a formal bearing, and clapping is considered an informal gesture that doesn't comport with the seriousness of the event - the generals were effectively "at attention." Kegbreath should have known this; Trump clearly didn't and was accustomed to applause, and it clearly threw him off his game when he didn't get any.

4. Tantrum-prone toddler unnerved by room full of serious grownups.

[bluesbassman]

6. They're trying to create a hostile work environment so the men and women of conscience will quit.

Yesterday’s photo-op/rally will be a test of the resolve of our current military leadership to maintain the oath to the Constitution they all took. We shall see how that shakes out.

[Boomerproud]

13. The msm didn't dare go there but the pictures of the audience spoke volumes.

Poor, poor dipshit.

9. NEXT: Trump orders Hegseth to redo the meeting and get it right

[Prairie Gates]

10. Speculative

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. These officers are getting a special medal for yesterday

[oasis]

18. That toon is a dandy.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. I DO understand the "why", but find it interesting that of all the gatherings

of any type in which Chump has participated over the years, this is the first where there are no "after" photos of Chump surrounded by attendees and with his stupid thumb stuck in the air. He loves that pose. It shows him he's been accepted, that he's one of the boys. Not this time, donnie boy. No one in that room - other than you - wanted a memento of the occasion.

Pound sand, bro.

[3catwoman3]

21. The thumbs up gesture has been forever ruined for me. Every time...

...I see him do it, accompanied by that leer that he thinks is a smile, I want to chop his damned thumb off with a dull axe.

[PatSeg]

25. God, I hate that stupid thumb

I cringe whenever I see it.

[flashman13]

26. Trump is more addled than rattled.

[The Roux Comes First]

28. He's Accustomed to Audiences Consisting of Middle-school Dropouts Desperate to Have Their Plaintive Cries Heard

(Albeit then ignored!) Where are those DOGE stalwarts when he desperately needs a standing O!

[Aviation Pro]

29. The child rapist thinks that life is an algorithm

And the shitbag craves adoration and engagement more than anything to balance the cold stares of his fucking pere and drunken mother that he got during his empty childhood.

Don’t forget, you fucking pedophile, they dumped you off at military reform school.

[Bluetus]

31. Rattled? Trump already told us

he knows more about the military than any of the Generals. Of course they were quiet. They were taking notes that might save a lot of lives in the next encounter.

[kentuck]

33. That hurt him bigly...

Even when he suggested that they could applaud, they were silent.

It was like a wooden stake thru his heart.

[lame54]

36. Reminds him of his flopped parade
