How long before the first angry tweets? We should time it and place bets - both for how long it takes to happen and what they say.
I’m betting we get a flurry of them at around 5 am tomorrow and I bet Trump, whose daddy paid for a fake medical letter so he wouldn’t get drafted, will call the top military guy in the United States a traitor for not backing the emperor president.

Milley was in a tough spot. Can't believe his decision was popular with officers or enlisted. He could have the armed forces or the president be irritated with him, but he was in the middle and find a way out. He is likely toast now, but maybe got back some respect

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Blasts Milley: “This Is Not the Military I Avoided Serving In”By Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a series of angry tweets on Thursday, Donald J. Trump lashed out at the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, declaring, “This is not the military I avoided serving in.” Calling Milley’s apology for appearing in last week’s controversial church photo op “a disgrace,” Trump said, “The United States military of my youth was known for courage and valor, which is why I got a podiatrist’s note to get out of being a part of it.” Recalling that episode from a half century ago, Trump said, “As I watched my podiatrist dictate that note, I thought about the great institution of the U.S. military, which I would be exempted from participating in. That institution is unrecognizable today.” With his apology, Trump claimed, “Mark Milley has besmirched the memories of all the Americans who fought so hard to avoid fighting.” Complete article here: Trump Blasts Milley: “This Is Not the Military I Avoided Serving In”
