US Marine Vet Resigns "Because of Trump"

The letter below is from a US Marines vet who actually served his country. He's not a sucker and loser for not getting killed in the line of duty, and he's no coward draft dodger like Donald Trump is. 

With over 2,500 anti-Trump demonstrations - the No Kings protests - across the country, the American people are rejecting all the lies, the hidden agendas, the harm and damage Trump has done to the country in less than a year in office.

This massive rally should be indicative of the repulsion that reasonable Americans of all colors and political affiliations are feeling at the demented senile crook who is in his tacky golden White Outhouse.

Elections 2026 is a year away. To the jackass-in-chief, I'd say, "Good run, moron, the American people are spitting you and spitting on you. Keep up the bad work. Keep mutilating this great country of ours that millions of immigrant Americans before you have built for 250 years. We can't wait to see the end of the horror movie.

A U.S. Marine who served the country for 24 years wrote a powerful op-ed in The Washington Post declaring that he resigned his post “because of President Trump.”

Doug Krugman, who rose to the rank of colonel, wrote in Thursday’s paper that he gave up his career “out of concern for our country’s future.”

“United States military officers take an oath to defend the Constitution without mental reservation or purpose of evasion. I swore or repeated that oath under five presidents, starting with former president Bill Clinton. I risked my life for it, serving as an infantry officer in two wars. I watched Marines die for it,” Krugman wrote.

He continued:

With President Trump, I no longer believe that. During his first term, his actions became increasingly difficult for me to justify, culminating with the Jan. 6 attack on Congress as it tried to execute its duties. I hoped he had learned from those errors, but it only took a few days of his second term for me to realize he had not. I could not swear without reservation to follow a commander in chief who seemed so willing to disregard the Constitution.

Krugman wrote that at first, he worried about Donald Trump’s “morally wrong” actions, like pardoning the January 6th, 2021, rioters.

“Worse than immorality, however, has been President Trump’s willingness to disregard the law and Constitution to achieve his goals,” Krugman continued. “When asked in May about the Fifth Amendment requirements for due process and if he needed to uphold the Constitution as president, the first words out of his mouth were ‘I don’t know.‘”

That was a step too far for Krugman. who wrote that he had no regrets about his decision to leave the service.

“I have given up the service I loved for the freedom to do the right thing, the freedom to speak my mind and the freedom to speak in defense of our country,” Krugman wrote.
