One: Thousands of active-duty service members were reportedly "pressured" by commanding officers to attend screenings of "Melania" in cinemas.
The documentary received harsh criticism and was ridiculed for drawing nearly empty auditoriums. Critics also panned the film itself, with reviews being overwhelmingly negative.
According to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) a watchdog group, they received multiple complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at no fewer than eight bases globally, that MAGA-aligned officers were "instructing" service members to attend the Melania movie.
MRFF founder and president Mikey Weinstein revealed to Business Insider that his organization has documentation proving military members were threatened if they didn't agree to see the movie.
"People are scared," Weinstein cautioned Business Insider. "They were pressured to see the movie. Your military superior, that's not your shift manager at Taco Bell or Starbucks. They have complete and total control of you."
There were reports of unit commanders occasional wearing MAGA hats and threatening disciplinary action against troops who didn't back the Trump administration.
One service member who sent a letter to MRFF said that watching the documentary counted as one of three mandatory "unit activity events" that military personnel must participate in each month to strengthen bonds within their combat units and with their families.
The fact that military members are being groomed to be MAGA supporters is scary...and ongoing.
Two: While speaking at Ft. Bragg last week Trump told the troopers that they needed to VOTE REPUBLICAN if they wanted to keep the name of their fort. It was just another blatant misuse of presidential power and political bias.
As it Stands, the MAGA cult has been like a cancer and unfortunately, we haven't found a cure for it yet.
