Trump Military Quotes
“There's nobody bigger or better at the military than I am!” This from someone who used the "rich kid" excuse of "bone spurs" to avoid serving his country during the Vietnam War.
Cadet Bone Spurs claimed: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me."
“I’m the only person in the history of our country that could really decimate ISIS.” Forget about George Washington, Winfield Scott, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, Black Jack Pershing and Dwight D. Eisenhower! Cadet Bone Spurs knows more than the greatest American generals!
"Our boys, our young women, our men, they're all coming back, and they're coming back now!" Trump announced in a video declaring victory over ISIS on Dec. 19, 2018, as he began to reveal that he would withdraw American troops from Syria and Afghanistan. But this would prove to be yet another lie, or the fabrication of someone who knows far less than our generals about the wars in Syria and Afghanistan.
Cadet Bone Spurs said: "Everyone gives me credit for decimating ISIS!" But in reality no one in his own party is saying that, much less American generals and military advisers. General James Mattis, the US Secretary of Defense, resigned immediately after Trump declared a bogus "victory" over ISIS. With the White House facing criticism over Trump's impetuous decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria, National Security Adviser John Bolton announced that the drawdown would be conditioned on the defeat of ISIS and the safety of Kurdish allies. Trump himself contradicted his lie that ISIS had been defeated, by saying that the withdrawal would force Russia to fight ISIS and Saudi Arabia to bear the costs. One does not have to keep fighting an enemy who has been defeated. Trump himself later confirmed that he had lied about defeating ISIS by saying: "We won't be finally pulled out until ISIS is gone." That could take years, or decades.

Cadet Bone Spurs claimed that he "fired" James Mattis, when the whole world knows that General Mattis resigned because he doesn't believe ISIS has been defeated, much less "decimated," and because he believes Trump is abandoning US allies in the region, including the Kurds and Israel.
Cadet Bone Spurs will retreat from Syria "very powerfully."
“When Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats, and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water." Cadet Bone Spurs threatens to go to war with Iran over rude hand gestures. (Sept. 9, 2016)

Cadet Bone Spurs claimed: "I know more about drones than anybody." More that the engineers who designed them, more than the manufacturers who made them, more than the people who operate them!
