the difference between Pres. Obama's speech and Been A Dick Donalds "speech" is that during Pres. Obama's speech, there was quiet respect for him while during Been A Dick Donald's "speech" the Generals and Admirals had contemptuous looks on their faces.
Trust me, I know that look from my years in the military.

This is a non story, and the majority of the men in that room support Trump's fascist agenda.

Bullshit!!!!

You have zero idea of what you're talking about.
