This is not okay. Airmen onboard the USS Wasp wearing patches with a likeness of Trump
of course the DUmpmonkiez don't like it...
This is a violation of Article 134 of the UCMJ. This can’t be tolerated! When I swore my oath in 1975 it was to my country, not to a potus, and nothing has changed. Wearing patches or insignia in fealty to President is no different than showing fealty to a dictator. @tedlieu
Trump's visiting the USS Wasp today and the troops stationed in Japan.
no it isn't. It wasn't when troops were wearing MAGA hats or troops were holding up Obama flags.

3. Apparently wearing unofficial patches is pretty common,
so we shouldn't make too much of this. We may not like it, but The Donald really is POTUS. This patch isn't new either.
Nope. they had them in 2017 when photos came out and the DUmpmonkiez screamed treason...

7. Instant impeachment for any
Democratic president who would dare do this. Are these patches "Made in China"? Who had this brilliant idea? I wonder if Ivanka owns the patent on these vile patches?
The sailors probably had them special made.

40. WTF! This isn't just a simple matter
of a bunch of good ole boys getting together in idolizing the leader of their preferred political party. I am appalled that their officers not only allowed a breakdown in order and disapline, but also created two opposing factions that will impact the teamwork of the whole ship.
Once the ship's officers either turned a blind eye or offered their tacit support for the rank and file troops to break the law, the whole ship is compromised. Shame on the lot of them, but especially the line officers and their captain for ever allowing partisan politics to infect their ship.
I am left wondering where the loyalty of that crew and their officers would be if they were called upon to defend their country... or that President?

35. Of course they don't think it's vile!
The majority of them appear to be white!
After all, neo-Nazis don't believe it's vile to wear Nazi flag patches, either!!!

46. Just like the Navy SEALs from a couple years ago with Trump flag
I guess no one learned a lesson from that.
Yeah, we learned that you ****ing leftists hate us.

49. It's not simply about a patch. It's the message the photos of the patch wearers send.
Just taken in that photo for a few moments. Not a damn one of them shows any reluctance. They're all beaming like they got laid for the first time.
It makes me wonder if the military would remain neutral if Trump loses in 2020 and claims fraud.

50. (at least they aren't flashing the white power hand sign)
I find this story outrageous.
Need to know where these patches came from. Who is sourcing them?
the OK sign is not a white power sign, you ****ing morons...
