Morning_Joe LOL, Trump had him fire the Captain and then threw him under thee bus. What a fool. Had he simply been smart enough to look at the last 3 years he would have know exactly what was going to happen to him. Another Trumputian bites the dust.

Morning_Joe Trump says he only hires the best people. Well, if the likes of Modly is what he considers the best. It is little wonder Trump's checkered past is full of bankruptcies. Who in the hell would want to be in a military led by this man?
