Donald Trump Plays Anti-LGBTQ+ Military Video, Full Of ‘Full Metal Jacket’ Clips

Donald Trump desires a ‘Full Metal’ navy … enjoying a video eventually evening’s rally calling out Kamala Harris for wanting a “woke military” — and enjoying clips from Stanley Kubrick‘s “Full Metal Jacket.”

The previous POTUS was in Coachella, California Saturday evening when he began speaking navy … and, he performed a video which is simpler to look at than clarify.

The video — which Trump has since posted and pinned to the highest of his X account — exhibits a model of America’s navy run by him vs the navy he says “Comrade” Kamala Harris will run.

Then video then jumps backwards and forwards from clips of the film “Full Metal Jacket” to movies of alleged servicemembers in drag in addition to Rachel Levine, a transgender girl who serves within the US Public Well being Service Commissioned Corps in Biden‘s administration.

Whereas not the primary time he is performed it at a rally, Trump is clearly doubling and tripling down on the clip. In his X submit from final evening, he wrote within the caption, “WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!”

Mainly, DJT’s level appears to be he desires the navy to regain some form of old-fashioned, macho-man disposition … and, there would not appear to be a spot in his model of the navy for homosexual servicemen and girls, no less than ones who come out publicly or gown in drag.

The scenes he exhibits from the film present abusive Gunnery Sergeant Hartman — performed by late actor R. Lee Ermey — berating his cadets and getting them prepared for struggle … making an attempt to toughen them up within the flick.

Price noting — and, spoiler right here — one in every of his cadets, performed by Vincent D’Onofrio, finally ends up murdering Hartman … so, it isn’t an ideal analogy.

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed again in 2010 underneath the Obama administration … permitting individuals within the navy to return out in the event that they so wished. The navy has additionally added quite a few range initiatives, particularly since Biden got here into workplace.
