I've been thinking about the US Military in all of this. Milly's portrait was unceremoniously removed at the Pentagon in the hall where all the portraits of the Joint chiefs were put. Trump also got a rapturous welcome by the NCO corps at the Commander-in-Chiefs ball on inauguration day. They even gave Space Force the dance with the President, which is a huge coded signal since Trump is the President who created that branch of the service and as the most junior branch they certainly don't have the pull to demand it.
I think its Afghanistan. What happened there was a national disgrace and it really pissed off the career Officers and NCO's. The feckless retards in DC under Biden humiliated the military service and the country. They have been seething about it for three years. The Military Brass would never outright say so, but they've let it be known without saying it that they are on team Trump.
