Trump threatened to cut child support for his daughter Tiffany if she ever joined the military or the Peace Corps, which is proof of how the president really feels about the troops.
Trump shows his hate for the military
Gabriel Sherman of Vanity Fair reported on Trump’s prenup with Marla Maples, “More than anything, the prenup shows how fiercely Trump wanted to protect the money he did have. Maples reportedly wanted $25 million, but Trump agreed to pay her only $1 million if they separated within five years, plus another $1 million to buy a house. Trump also would stop making $100,000 child support payments for Tiffany when she turned 21. The agreement states that Trump’s payments would cease earlier if Tiffany got a full-time job, enlisted in the military, or joined the Peace Corps. “The way it was drawn up is ironclad and shows how wary he was,” Felder told me after reviewing the prenup. “He was leaving nothing to chance.”
Trump’s contempt for the military has continued into his presidency. Trump hated the late Sen. John McCain because McCain was a war hero who put his country first, even in his final major vote as a senator to stop Trump from killing Obamacare. The Trump White House hid the USS McCain from Trump and then claimed that staff would not be disciplined for disrespecting and mistreating the troops because the president’s feelings matter more than the men and women who serve our country.
Donald Trump claims to love the troops, but he hated the military and found military service so beneath is family, that he threatened to cut off child support to his daughter if she enlisted.
Trump can pretend to love the troops, but in reality, he feels nothing but loathing and contempt for those who protect our freedom.
