Overview

His bio does not reflect any of those assignments. The previous guy was the Air Force Chief of Staff.

I also am lead to believe that the person must be an active military member, which from my current understanding they are not. It won't matter. Just wanted to note it.

Ok.

As I said, he's less qualified and doesn't even meet the statutory requirements for the position. Trump also fired several other high ranking military members.

Wow. I’m the first one to provide background on a personality involved but that still wasn’t enough for you. So weird. Here’s the guy who got nominated. https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/2942633/john-d-caine/#:~:text=As a command pilot%2C he,a serial entrepreneur and investor.&text=1999 Air Force Weapons School,Nellis Air Force Base%2C Nev.

Interesting, you had the new guys record on hand but not the previous. Here's Browns bio, hope it doesn't vanish too quickly. Trump likes to bury proof of his incompetence. https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/article/108485/charles-q-brown-jr/#:~:text=Gen. Brown is a command,fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.

I dunno. What’s the other guy’s record?

So he's less qualified than the guy trump just fired.

The last four CJCS assumed their positions on either 30 September or 1 October. Guessing it has to do with a fiscal year thing. Here’s a little background on the guy Trump nominated. F-16 Fighter Pilot. Special Operations Experience. CIA Associate Director for Military Affairs. As for why, no reason has been provided yet. Operationally that background in SpecOps and CIA might have something to do with it. Apparently during Trumps first term he had a more aggressive response towards dealing with ISIS which Trump liked.

Maybe Trump was just following his own anti-DEI executive order.

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating after this move by Trump and that is will military leadership do their duty to the Constitution and fulfill their obligation to countermand illegal orders, especially if it should mean refusing to target US citizens. Now I’m sure I’ll be accused of overreacting and I hope that’s proved right eventually, but we won’t know until we know for sure. Trump himself doesn’t care about his oath as he runs roughshod over the Constitution, so why wouldn’t he demand the same in his military leadership. FFS, some in the military were OK with Michael Flynn’s idea to seize voting machines in 2020. I don’t think my concern is unjustified at this stage.

We're screwed. This guy is nuts.

Can't invade Canada and sell out Ukraine when a career general would tell you no. He will appoint a loyalists.

And don’t simply say. “Because he can.”

She seems very rude and condescending here, imo. I don't think it's trolling. I think they're serious.

I find Karoline Leavitt such a refreshing upgrade over the last press secretary.

I don't dispute that, I'm merely sharing what I see on PPP.

I think that 3rd term stuff is just trolling. I don't believe for one second that Trump will try to run for a third term.

These receipts never show us anything.

Meanwhile, here's Steve Bannon doing a Nazi Salute at the CPAC convention. As no one tossed him out, the CPAC convention can now be considered a Nazi convention. also at CPAC there are multiple banners depicting Trump as a Roman Emperor and talking about his 3rd term. You know who else really liked to use Roman iconography? The Nazis. I'm sure that is just a coincidence right?

That is not a fatality and Stephen Miller is a white supremacist who melted down the other day on CNN. This guy is unfit. He's covering his ass and his bosses ass. We have all heard and read what Trump has said about mineral rights in Ukraine and what he wants. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/21/trump-zelensky-ukraine-rare-earth-minerals

This is interesting. You don't usually see such bluntness from someone in Rubio's position.
