People Are Saying This Video Of Soldiers Booing When Democrats Are Mentioned "Sent A Chill Down" Their Spines
Donald Trump recently gave a speech in front of military soldiers in Fort Bragg, North Carolina — home of the largest military installation in the US — and it was deeply disturbing.
In his speech, Trump called anti-ICE protestors "a vicious and violent mob," and baselessly accused Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass of paying people to cause chaos at the LA protests. He also heckled the "fake news" media, mocked Joe Biden, insulted trans people, and announced he was restoring the names of multiple military bases to feature Confederate leaders.

Oddly enough, the most shocking aspect of Trump's speech wasn't his words, but rather, the reactions of the in-uniform soldiers.
"In Los Angeles, the governor of California, the mayor of Los incompetent, and they paid troublemakers, agitators, and insurrectionists. They're engaged in this willful attempt to nullify federal law and aid the occupation of the city by criminal invaders," Trump said.
The soldiers booed loudly, seemingly in agreement.
"This is a record think this crowd would've showed up for Biden? I don't think so," Trump continued, smiling.

Many soldiers laughed and booed at the mention of former commander in chief Joe Biden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the fake news. Look at 'em, look at 'em I have to put up with. Fake news," Trump said pointing to reporters.
In response, the soldiers loudly booed the media.

"For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Fort Robert E. Lee," Trump said.
The news of Confederate leaders' names being returned to military bases was met with loud applause and cheers.
Since their posting on X, the speech clips have ramped up millions of views, and commenters have expressed fear and anger about Trump's politicization of the military, and the soldiers' reactions. "The way this disgusting creature is politicizing the troops endlessly in this rant AND the fact they are participating in it is equally despicable. He is everything the Founding Fathers feared," one person wrote.
Another X user who claims to be a veteran described the speech as "absolutely unacceptable," continuing, "we serve ALL Americans, even the ones we disagree with or dislike and we do not turn fellow citizens into enemies."
"The troops booing sent a chill down my spine," this person wrote.
This person called it "outrageously unpresidential" and "un-American" to "speak to the US military like they're his partisan personal army."
Another veteran who spent 37 years in uniform said they'd never witnessed anything like it.
"The military booing an American city, goaded by the president, is deeply unsettling."
