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

Trump left 'rattled' by cold response from military leaders: 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.
