I really don't understand the strategy of pandering REALLY hard to a group of people who will always vote Republican and driving away every other voting segment.
The south is a fickle nigh-monolithic bloc, and will flip sides all at once somehow.

It's quite ironic that in one of the follow-up Tweets, Trump says to "respect the military" and he constantly disrespects the military. Draft dodging, making fun of a Gold Star family, etc.

Also talking shit about Mad Dog who is loved by the military

With how people act nowadays, claiming racism is basically as rampant as it was back during that time, youd think the confederacy DID win.

I actually stated that kind of idea the other day in a less elegant fashion.

I said Florida is not a red state and is not similar to say Alabama or Mississippi.

I've actually started to feel sorry for Trump. Now he's just an idiot, a scared, confused idiot who can't even PRETEND to act like a president anymore. For his own good as much as the country's and the world's he needs to go.

Why the fuck is a fort named after Braxton Bragg in the first place? Dude was one of the most incompetent generals on either side.

Should be renamed to Fort Ridgway.

When I first read that title I was like "Winning? No, he didn't just type that shi...goddammit"

The President is a white nationalist.

I had a relapse. I got hit by one too many "silence is violence" types who seem to think that neutrality or abstaining from the discussion is the same thing as being evil.

Fuck those people.

This is the man who Fort Hood should be named after

On May 2, 1968, Staff Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez volunteered to come to the rescue of a twelve-man Green Beret patrol overrun by a thousand North Vietnamese infantry. The mission would prove to be, in Benavidezs words, six hours of hell. Under heavy fire, he loaded eight wounded men onto helicopters not once but twice (because the first one was shot down). Benavidez survived a total of thirty gunshot, bayonet, blunt trauma, and shrapnel wounds. Believed dead when a crew arrived to retrieve him, he used his last ounce of strength to spit in the face of a doctor who was zipping him into a body bagit was the only way he could prove he was still alive.

A true badass hero from Texas

Trump in general needs to get off of twitter, the reason so many comedians do Trump jokes because he literally serves it on a silver platter to them.

Ehh, the continuation of the tweet is Trump saying the people (he uses the word heroes) who trained at these forts went on to win two world wars. As far as I know, he never mentions the Civil War, but the forts themselves are named after Civil War generals. Its bad optics.

I'm hoping this is just a knee-jerk comment on his part that he apologizes for. This is a terrible stance to take.

His supporters love this shit. I think he's simply hoping he can get them riled up enough to come back out and vote en masse and that democrats will stay home due to apathy and disenfranchisement tactics that the GOP loves
