So, something went wrong with our military veterans, and the answer is to appoint the wackiest, most unqualified people to positions of power?

You know what I think? Facts don't matter to the Trump administration. They have an agenda and they're going to intentionally misinform the public to confuse and scam his supporters into going along with that plan.

Never did we need a competent legacy media more than today, and it's the one thing we can't depend on.
