Trump just fired the country's senior military officer: Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot who became only the second African American to hold the chairman's job.

This is not entirely surprising given Trumps past in regards to people of color. All the way back to when NYC sued him for discrimination in rentIng out his apartment buildings.
On social media, Trump said he would nominate Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, an extraordinary move since Caine is retired, according to an Air Force official, and is not a 4-star general
Hegseth also said that Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of the Air Force, had been fired, and that he was “requesting nominations” for the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy and Air Force, indicating they will be replaced.
Trump & Hegseth are white supremacists. THIS is their racism on full display.
Putin's useful idiots Trump & Hegseth are also weakening the U.S. military, weakening our nation & are leaving the United States vulnerable to attack - Putin's number 1 goal.
I feel like a lot fewer people are going to be inclined to join the military at this point. Especially if you’re a woman or person of color. Just reckless and racist.
🖲️ Someone in the extant Armed Services needs to pull together a consortium of leaders willing to confront this rapid systematic dismantling of our Nation's superstructure soon, or our last hope for a return to normalcy will be removed as well.
Reading his bio, retired Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine would have been a solid nominee for Defense Secretary. Instead, we got Pete Hegseth, the dimwit, second-tier Fox News host.
And there goes the ballgame, folks. He'll have nothing but lap lickers in senior military positions, so the next step is breaking the Posse Comitatus Act. Shit.
When he puts every last marginalized person out of work, and businesses trend to layoff and run lean, and then some, what does he think all these people laying around with no money to buy or nowhere to go are going to be doing?
This is just the beginning Kyle.
He will completely demoralize the Military like he did last time.
He will cater to Xi and Putin, etc ..
We will be scorned world wide because of his actions and have to spend years again courting nations and allies.
It was fucking terrifying the first time.
A misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, convicted of 34 felony counts, found liable of sexual assault, Russian asset, adulterous COWARD.
Sycophant incoming. Trump’s clearly found the Chairman of the JCS who will obey his commands to sic the military on the American people. God help us all in the coming months.
The DEI crusade is an excuse to remove people of color from the ranks and especially those in authority. How is Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. not qualified?
(1) Trump fired plenty of people he promoted or hired, especially when they didn’t do what he wanted them to do. It’s why English now has the concept “a Scaramucci”
(2) 45 was a clown with dictatorial tendencies but guardrails and even Trump trying to charm non MAGA. 47 is different.

No conflict of interest here.
The fact that the Republican party has nothing to say about it speaks volumes as their bigotry.
The four star was black and the two star is white. DEI much? 🤦🏽♂️🤡

Great take.
Just admit you posted this without realizing who nominated him in the first place. It’s ok to admit your mistakes.
