    One that is to make fun of someone clothing. Not serious and a joke.

    The WH say the chief of staff stand by his total fabrication is what should be worth worrying about. If you can't stand on simple truth after the fact, no one is going to believe you. Kelly was thought to be an adult with character.

    Yes, this is horrible for Kelly. His reputation has taken some serious damage after over this issue. Kelly's esteem is going down. He deserves the loss of respect for choosing to lie and smear another person on behalf of Trump. I still feel bad for him though.

    It doesn't matter to me. But unlike Obama, Trump has built his base in part on this military family demographic, and builds a lot of his talking points around support for the military. So, rejection by military officers is probably a bit more damaging for Trump than it was for Obama. So, it doesn't matter in the sense that you or I should change our opinion of Trump based on the authority of a majority of officers, but it does matter as a data point about the depth and breadth of the support Trump has and what that could mean for his future.

    it's the least important demographic when it comes to the military actually. I'd be curious to see what the overall favorability numbers are. The plurality of military members voted for him so I'd be interested to see what they think now.

    I'd be upset if they disapproved, after all, they are his & follow his generals. As they should, he went to an ivy league school, has a great memory & high iq. Not to mention the size of his hands!

    I still can't get over the 'size of hands' deal...& our guy made it an issue!?!
    But yet, we should be surprised at the current level of discourse.
    Unreal.
