Jennifer Rubin: ‘Highly Inappropriate’ Trump Treats U.S. Troops Like a ‘Partisan Plaything’

EXCERPT:

RUBIN: "This has been a pattern through the campaign and into his presidency where he treats the troops like props. No president in my memory has ever made such political speeches, political slurs, attacks in front of the troops. And it’s highly inappropriate, of course. It converts the troops into a partisan plaything, which is very dangerous and very unusual in American politics. I do want to go back to something that Howard was saying. I do agree he’s an isolationist. But the Syria move makes sense if you think he wanted to give Vladimir Putin a big present before the end of the year, or he had made a commitment to Vladimir Putin. Because the powers that benefit from this are number one, Iran, but number two Russia. And I cannot help but think that that is related to his very weird, very uncertain relationship with Vladimir Putin, who is benefiting hugely from the chaos in our government, from Trump’s foreign policy, from his attacks on our allies.”
