"""CNN’s Kirby: Trump’s Thanksgiving Call to Troops ‘Completely Inappropriate’ — Military Is Not ‘MAGA Crowd’""" Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” network Military and Diplomatic analyst retired Rear Admiral John Kirby, who served as the spokesman for the State Department and the Department of Defense during the Obama administration, said President Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving call to the military this morning was “completely inappropriate.”

Kirby said, “It was completely inappropriate. Look, all he needed to say is thanks to you and your families, and I support your mission, and I am going to continue to support it going forward. Very simple. That is all he really needed to say. He found a way to inject judicial court decisions he doesn’t like on immigration and trade deals he finds unfair — not a good place to put the troops. They are not an extension of the MAGA crowd. They are not an arm of the Republican party.”

Oh no. Trump treated the troops like real people instead of just photo op props

I’ll bet Kirby just about chit his pants when Bush and Condoleezza Rice snuck out of the country and went to Iraq to serve Thanksgiving diner to the solders there during the Iraq war.

Kirby always struck me as extremely sleazy. Probably why Barky likes him.

Presidents, except for the foreigner, and usually Republicans, have often spoken to the troops. The action is not new.

CNN is a mess.

You’d have a massive case of, ‘Splody-Head’ if you knew how much our troops LOVE President Trump!

Hey Kirby, you’re not and never were the CinC and your opinion shows what a lackey you were for 0bama.

The Democrat Talking points. When you have more then one reporter repeating the same words you know they received their instructions from the DNC.

When you figure out these talking head opinions are no more important than yours or mine life becomes better and more peaceful.

It must be lonely to have retired from the military and have absolutely no friends or family that have ever served in the military, and all of your acquaintances and work mates loath the military and your country.

Here the patriot is explaining how the secret plane load of unmarked bills nobody truly knows the amount of was not a payout to sworn enemies of our country for a moronic treaty that enables Iran to continue developing nuclear weapons and missiles.

I have noticed this. The left and NeverTrumpers are on a quest to portray Trump as being opposed by, well, everyone and everything. They have moved onto the military to portray Trump as universally hated by every man and woman wearing a uniform.

“photo op props”

I think it was after Bengazi the families ASKED Bammy not show up at Dover.

He did, using the dead men he murder as a photo op. That was just sick.
