Further Proof of Donald Trump's Unorthodox Military Prowess

     
    It's absolute military genius! And only Donald Trump could discover it.

    President Trump has exposed a critical flaw in our military’s thinking. In discussing forest fire management, he revealed that soldiers don’t need hand-held explosives. 

Young, brittle trees prove to be more deadly than a mine or a grenade.

Every forest has downed trees. All a soldier needs to do is find a few that are about 18 months old and dry. They blow up...on contact, by handling, when dropped, the president wasn’t clear on that...but they do explode. So, we don’t need to spend millions on high-tech explosives any further. Just make sure our military fights in forests. They can blast the enemy at will. Of course, the enemy will have access to the same tree source so it may set off a forest arms race. But now we have a jump on stockpiling dry trees for future battles.  

Trump considers ordering conversion of the U.S. Navy to the U.S. Tree Force

Granted, this doesn’t benefit the Navy, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, or even Space Force. But when we have to confront ISIS or other Islamic terrorist groups not known for fighting in forests, we can’t let our guard down. It’s best to stay near forests with lots of young, dry, fallen trees as weapons.  

This is why Donald Trump is the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces! Who can deny it now?

The Bay of Pigs Award - is fake. It is actually a present from Brigade 2506 survivors for visiting their museum

 


      The Bay of Pigs Award is not the name of the item Donald Trump is holding here. Members of the Veterans of Brigade 2506 have given him a reproduction of the badge they carried into battle as thanks for his expressed opposition to Human Rights abuses and fighting Totalitarian Regimes. It was a gift from them when he visited the Brigade 2506 Museum in Little Havana Miami in October 2016 when he feared losing Florida during the campaign.
       Trump was fishing for Hispanic votes, which is why his handlers had him visit the museum. A couple of Brigade 2506 veterans gave him a plaque as a way of thanking him for coming. They didn't present it to him with great fanfare saying "Here is our Bay of Pigs Award because you're a great man." They gave him the plaque because he made a suitable condemnation of Fidel Castro, even though earlier - before the embargo was lifted - Trump circumvented the law searching for real estate in Cuba in the 1990s which would have helped the Castro regime. Do you think they knew that? They should now.

        And there has never been a "Bay of Pigs Award". Only a complete idiot would repeatedly call that plaque of the Brigade's badge by the name of the battle they fought and lost. 

All Donald Trump knows is that the men who presented him with the plaque were at a place called the Bay of Pigs...and they were thanking him for something he assumed had to do with that place and that he somehow improved it by coming to their museum. 

If at this point you're wondering WTF is the “Bay of Pigs Award” that Donald Trump proudly owns, then you have to wonder - does that mean Trump himself can be defeated in 3 days after he launches an ill-advised, ill-prepared, poorly-armed mission? Does the CIA receive it along with Trump? Why would Cuban-Americans award anything to someone associated with the U.S. government when it was government officials, primarily in the CIA, who misled, lied to, and ultimately stabbed in the back Brigade 2506? 

It was not John F. Kennedy. He was bamboozled by the CIA but took the fall by accepting responsibility as president. He then arranged and bought the survivor's freedom out of Castro's jails for roughly $53 million where most of the CIA preferred to let the prisoners rot. The Brigade 2506 survivors were released by the Castro government and returned to the U.S. in December 1962.

But the CIA has done a stellar job of ducking responsibility for their failures to the Brigade, misdirecting, and successfully pinning the blame on the assassinated president. Such CIA bravery.

Trump actually believes Cuban-Americans will flock to him if he gives himself a fictitious award named after the only military mission he knows that involved Cubans. He couldn’t tell you any details about the invasion at Playa Giron, Playa Largo, or Brigade 2506. Hell, he couldn’t tell you what year it happened. Those would be revealing questions to ask Trump. Why was the Cuban invasion force called Brigade 2506, or when did the invasion occur? Trump?  

He is renaming that plaque in order to gain - unearned - the loyalty of what he assumes are low-information Cuban-American voters who recognize the English words Bay of Pigs (Trump couldn’t pronounce Bahia Cochinos if his life depended on it). Plus, he hopes low-information American voters will be suitably impressed with a fake military operation-named presentation like "The Bay of Pigs Award" from Cubans who were there. The bogus award would show how others see him as honoring, not just American soldiers, but foreign soldiers who fight for the same principles. Trump is counting on them being suckers enough to fall for his falsely-named award targeted at the Latino community, and more importantly at history-ignorant American voters. 

 This is the Brigade's Flag. It was returned to them by John F. Kennedy.

C’mon, what else do Spanish-speaking people need? Trump has done more for Latinos – by simply claiming this Bay of Pigs Award – than any other president. They have to realize that Trump is honoring Cuban-Americans, (and by extension all Hispanics) by showing solidarity with them through a falsely-named shoulder patch plaque. Why wouldn’t they be stupid enough to vote for the guy who doesn’t give a damn about them except to usurp the name of a battle they bled in, lost hundreds of fellow soldiers during, then were defeated by Castro’s forces, and claim it as an award from the survivors? 

Since receiving that tribute plaque of the Brigade's shoulder patch, how has Trump helped Cuban-Americans? Why should any Cuban-American vote for a man who makes up names of awards to puff up his image simply to pander for their votes?

Donald Trump doesn't give a damn about American soldiers. How much less of a damn do you think he gives about Cuban-American soldiers? The fact that he uses the name of the battle they lost, rather than naming the award after the fighting Brigade itself, tells you everything you need to know about how Trump sees Cuban-Americans.

Trump is on the hunt for suckers and losers who buy into whatever lie he makes up. Here is hoping Brigade 2506 members and their families are smarter than that. 

Brigade 2506 survivors were returned to the U.S Christmas Eve 1962. Many met with and most forgave John Kennedy for the failed mission. Here they greet the president and Jackie at the Orange Bowl in Miami the day they were freed.
