It was a politicized abortion.

What an asshole Trump is.


I watched most of it.

Thought it was good.Â* Trump is knowledgeable as to
the mission of each branch and spoke coherently
and properly to each of the service leaders without
a script or teleprompter, unlike past Commander in Chiefs.

It was a "down to earth" discussion.


I suppose you let Donald Pig Vomit off the hook, as usual, there are
other opinions:

"Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump struck a nakedly political tone
during a Thanksgiving call with US service members stationed around the
world as he steered the conversation toward controversial political topics.

Speaking with a US general in Afghanistan, Trump likened the fight
against terrorists to his efforts to prevent a group of migrants from
illegally entering the United States, and he assailed federal judges who
have ruled against his administration. The President also pressed the
commanding officer of a Coast Guard ship in Bahrain on trade before
touting his trade policies and arguing that "every nation in the world
is taking advantage of us."

US Presidents have traditionally called troops stationed abroad during
the holidays to boost morale and remind the country of their service,
making Trump's rhetoric yet another striking break from the norms of
presidential behavior. After the call wrapped, Trump entertained more
than two dozen questions from reporters and once again discredited a CIA
assessment about the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"This was, sadly, predictable and avoidable," said retired Rear Adm.
John Kirby, a CNN military and diplomatic analyst. "The President's
conduct on that call, the manner in which he politicized it,
demonstrated an utter and complete disregard for what military service
means."
