Donald Trump desires a ‘Full Metallic’ navy … enjoying a video finally night time’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 night time when he began speaking navy … and, he performed a video which is less complicated to look at than clarify.

The video — which Trump has since posted and pinned to the highest of his X account — reveals 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 lady 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 publish from final night time, 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 type 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, at the least ones who come out publicly or costume in drag.
The scenes he reveals from the film present abusive Gunnery Sergeant Hartman — performed by late actor R. Lee Ermey — berating his cadets and getting them prepared for battle … attempting 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“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed again in 2010 below the Obama administration … permitting folks within the navy to return out in the event that they so wished.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.
Unclear what Donald Trump might attempt to impose on the navy if elected subsequent month … however, we’re guessing it may look loads totally different than it does now.
