4. This goes back to his first term. He was just randomly stomping on budgets and proposed a $4B budget

At the time I believe the previous year was about $14B. This would have parked every asset in the USCG, with just a skeleton crew to maintain. Congress fixed it, but the COMDT at the time did not forget. So the next thing Trump tried to do was take away the protections for currently serving LBGTQ+ individuals and the COMDT said publicly that the USCG was going to stand by their people.

So in the current on-going nightmare he decided to dismiss the first female to lead a branch of the military supposedly because she was "woke". Then whoever was in DHS at the time only gave her 3 days to vacate the COMDT's quarters. I'm very disappointed in the leadership there, because they should have stood with her and helped her move.

So, I know it may make me a horrible person, but I am really enjoying watching him fall apart physically and mentally. I can tell by looking at him that he is in constant pain and is medicated beyond belief to compensate. He deserves every little discomfort this earth can dish out to him.
