Donald Trump needs a ‘Full Steel’ navy … enjoying a video eventually evening’s rally calling out Kamala Harris for wanting a “woke navy” — and enjoying clips from Stanley Kubrick‘s “Full Steel Jacket.”
The previous POTUS was in Coachella, California Saturday evening when he began speaking navy … and, he performed a video which is less complicated to look at than clarify.

The video — which Trump has since posted and pinned to the highest of his X account — exhibits a model of America’s navy run by him vs the navy he says “Comrade” Kamala Harris will run.
Then video then jumps forwards and backwards from clips of the film “Full Steel Jacket” to movies of alleged servicemembers in drag in addition to Rachel Levine, a transgender lady who serves within the US Public Well being Service Commissioned Corps in Biden‘s administration.
Whereas not the primary time he is performed it at a rally, Trump is clearly doubling and tripling down on the clip. In his X put up from final evening, he wrote within the caption, “WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!”
Mainly, DJT’s level appears to be he needs the navy to regain some form of old style, macho-man disposition … and, there would not appear to be a spot in his model of the navy for homosexual servicemen and ladies, not less than ones who come out publicly or gown in drag.
The scenes he exhibits from the film present abusive Gunnery Sergeant Hartman — performed by late actor R. Lee Ermey — berating his cadets and getting them prepared for conflict … making an attempt to toughen them up within the flick.
Price noting — and, spoiler right here — certainly one of his cadets, performed by Vincent D’Onofrio, finally ends up murdering Hartman … so, it is not an ideal analogy.
“Do not Ask, Do not Inform” was repealed again in 2010 below the Obama administration … permitting folks within the navy to come back out in the event that they so wished. The navy has additionally added quite a few range initiatives, particularly since Biden got here into workplace.
Unclear what Donald Trump could attempt to impose on the navy if elected subsequent month … however, we’re guessing it should look so much totally different than it does now.
