Agreed. What Pete Hegseth did yesterday is proof of that -- and a Pentagon representative confirmed the move was intentional.
But Trump is doing this out of hate as well as toxic jealousy: of all the historical trailblazers he's railed against in favor of Confederate monuments, I think he has a real hatred of the fact that he's nothing compared to these historical agents of progress he so fixated on erasing. Because Trump is the only person who became president with absolutely ZERO record of public service in his entire life.
Joe Biden has a half-century of public service experience. Trump has experience in being a con man, racist, and adjudicated serial rapist. That's not favorable in the court of public opinion or in historical archives, and he will never be able to change that. So he spends his life destroying people to validate himself. But it's not enough for him. It'll never be enough. And that hatred will, in my honest opinion, end up ultimately destroying him.
