Stable Genius Can't Spell The Name of The General He Pretends To Idolize

President Cornered Rat saw "MacArthur" and "Patton" on teevee once. 

Probably while he was cowering at home faking bone spurs to avoid the draft.

Trump has great respect for war heroes who are long dead and therefore can't speak out against him. We all know that if Patton or MacArthur were alive today they'd speak out against him in some mild, circuitous way, and he'd respond by calling them low energy losers and complain that they weren't as great as some other military leaders who are long dead and therefore are not around to speak out against him.

Even though Trump's former press secretary Sarah Huckabee once said that criticizing America's senior military leaders was "highly inappropriate", the list of heroic military veterans that Trump has publicly run down is both long and distinguished. Just off the top we have Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman of the National Security Council, Marine General John Allen, Navy Admiral William McRaven, Marine Captain Robert Mueller, and of course Senator and retired Navy Captain John McCain. Each of these men is a decorated combat veteran.

Trump said of McCain, "John McCain is only a war hero because he got captured. I like guys who didn't get captured." So its not hard to imagine how he would run down Patton or MacArthur on Twitter if they were around to criticize him. He'd probably call MacArthur a loser for the loss of the Philippines to the Japanese in 1941 or he'd call a Patton a loser for being put in charge of a fake army for the period leading up to D-Day. Of course he wouldn't actually have knowledge of those major world events, but he'd have some underling look up something he could use on Twitter run down these 5-star generals. And conversely if McCain had died at any point before Trump started running for President, Trump would probably be invoking the name of the great war hero John McCain to aid in his efforts to marginalize his critics now. It really goes without saying, but Trump is the slimiest weakling ever to crawl the earth.

Frey is presumably no Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man either. That must mean that they are all friends of Trump.

In many ways, this is an engineered conflict by authoritarians, fascists, white supremacists, neo–Nazis, and neo–Confederates which we're apparently now calling "The ‘Boogaloo Bois’" or something like that.
This is the end of New Deal America the Neo–Conservatives, GOP, 'Republicans', and 'Independents' have wanted for over 40 years.

I question if he knows the equivalent of a private, some time ago. There were signs, omens, sirens, Alarms, flashing light and people with their hair on fire in search of something to extinguish the flames.

But I admit, He knows more about bone spurs and deferments than the Generals.
