Related: About this forumTrump Issues MEMO FROM HELL that INSTANTLY BACKFIRES - Meidas Touch
It sure looks like Trumps Department of Defense is biased and prejudiced under the command of Pete Hegseth, as he interprets Trumps Executive Order to eliminate the dreaded Diversity Equity and Inclusion provisions in the military, to say goodbye to MLK Jr. Day, Black Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Womens Equality Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jewish Heritage Month and the like.
Michael Popok explains how Trumps obsession with rooting out his enemies and the policies of the Democrats, and his efforts to govern by Executive Order, plays into the Democrats hands by exhausting his political capital while making his Administration defend 1 or more lawsuits per day for the next 4 years. - 02/01/2025.

Recruitment will suffer from this action. Calling them suckers and losers didnt help either.
But Im sure Don Jr, Eric, Ivsnka, Elon, and the oligarchs will sign up to fill the void.
