If he can pretend to be Jesus he can pretend to have medals.

Trump is a flaming ----.

Patton would have found Trump utterly contemptible.

And WTF does "MacArthur" have an upside down half corporal half sergeant chevron on his left sleeve?

And why does the non-Patton Patton have red epaulettes?

Yep, I don't care.

I just think it is interesting that you do care... but selectively.

When my father died, the funeral director asked for his DD214 because there was some confusion on whether or not he wanted to be buried in uniform. Ultimately, we found out that he wished to be buried in his Donegal tweed. Even my Mother was surprised. He was an active-duty soldier for 4 years, but was an Irish gentleman from birth to the end.

"People Who Never Served, Should Not Post Pictures of Themselves in Uniform"

There's this cultural concept called "taste."

Trampers don't have it.

You're right, snoofy.

Huh? Same way burning a flag isn't illegal.
Somehow, Trumpers who are also military veterans don't really mind Trump doing this.

Maybe Trump will AI-Photoshop Mamdani flying a plane into the WTC.
Trumpers would enjoy that.

"Maybe Trump will AI-Photoshop Mamdani flying a plane into the WTC."

A lot more believable than Trump in a uniform.

Probable not a criminal offense. www.afba.com

Just another example of the Buffoon's "beyond the pale" conduct.

When I saw that picture I thought of another general, Smedley Butler, who wrote a book on how the Marines were ordered to be gangsters for the big American business interests in the world.

He appears to be in either the Red Army or the PLA.

We all know if Trump had served in WW2 that's not the uniform he'd be wearing.

The odd thing is he only gave himself four stars. And MacArthur should have had five.

More AI slop from a Dotard whose brain is full of nothing but slop.

Remember when Vance accused Walz, an actual guardsman, of stolen valor? What does Vance have to say about this!
