They are just going to come here and wave their flag. Anyone who comes here their national alliance is to America. The way you get here is the way you keep marching. Forward with your old country behind you, not carrying it on your shoulders with pride. We have some Americans we can send with you!!!! There should be some kind of mass moving out since trump won. Politics ????? now the blue side or left side whatever it's called. They are trying to get people to swear in open court not to do the exact same things they have been doing. ??????

Trump is only ever talking to a fraction of the US population. He doesn't care about anyone who didn't vote for him. He doesn't care about anyone outside of the US borders. All he cares about is himself.\nEverything he says has to be heard or read in that context. He's only ever talking to his loyals, to encourage them to continue being loyal and throwing more money at him.\nNothing else exists in his mind.\nThis explains his pronouncements and executive orders on every subject. It even explains all his lies.

Kind of out of touch with reality. In the next decade there’s gonna be people transferring into Furrys. Trans are going to be nothing in comparison. We should let anyone do whatever we want that’s what being an American should be being free. If you wanna go serve the country you should be able to go. Serve the country as long as you fit enough to do it and mentally able to do it.

Because these people have NO respect for anyone. They can't speak the language and don't even try to. Stay in India, you're not welcome or wanted.

Can anyone blame Poland for what they are doing to keep the border closed ??‍♀️

Being called criminals without committing a crime that harms anyone is lovely. Showcasing a complete lack of humanity in this administration and the sociopathic spokeswoman who can't put it more delicately.

they didnt want black people serving, women, gay ppl, and now trans ppl. this doesnt help anyone. this doesnt make groceries affordable. all this does is make weirdos on the internet happy.

While I don’t agree with anyone entering the US illegally, those that are saying “fix your own country” is easier said than done, my response to that is “why don’t you fix the things you hate or complain about throughout your life”? Don’t worry I’ll wait ?\n\nA lot of these people are broke, have little to no education (partly because they were broke), and can barely make money to feed themselves. None of us get to write a wishlist as to where we are born or who our parents are. This is just part of an unfortunate circumstance. \n\nNow if you’re a criminal and want to commit crimes in the US, you don’t deserve anything in life.

What does someone's genitals have to do with their ability to serve? Both men & women are able to serve. Why are trans people considered less than human? \n\nI don't understand why anyone would want to change their sex. It makes no sense to me. It's also not my business to judge any other person. They're not breaking the law or hurting anyone.

Soldier not cookie cutter. If they from out of town, watch a movie, some might ask for possible military discount, some will not. My cousin, who a Marine, not into what he call 'he/she.' But. Maybe he no think Navy Cmdr. Shilling, 'cookie cutter' trans. A military, can find a place for everyone, like IDF find place for female tank brigade, kill 100 Hamas Oct 7, no casualty of their own. IDF kick our ass in conventional war, cuz 'warrior' interwoven way of life for Israeli. When we like, only so and so can defend our nation, like Shilling say, it will leave 'holes' in the armed forces. Some people like her, irreplaceable. Anyone, who speak civilly with Collins, no interrupt, compulsively, like all manner of powerful male who interviewed by her, not a male. The 'not knowing' to Congressman, the main issue he have. She a female? She not a female? In spirituality, 'not knowing,' as in experience of WHO you are, is where you want to be. Something 'known' and it time to move on. It like ask decorated Congressman about eye patch. Who dumb enough talk about something, not gonna get better?

Anyone else think that looks stupid

The shame falls on any anyone who voted for Joe Biden. You could see this coming long before that election.

There is no excuse for anyone to come here illegally and stay. Being poor or from a poor country doesn’t give you the right to come here illegally and stay. \nWe need to help our own countrymen first and the poor we have here.\nWe welcome legal immigrants.\nRight now it’s all shut down due to all the illegals Biden let come in so blame it on him if you had an appointment but it’s been canceled.\nAmericans are now coming first in our own country again and that’s how it should be.

Seems like we would want to anyone who wants to serve their country. Unlike the current president who did NOT want to serve his country. And DEI and all of the other MAGA boogeyman concerns are miniscule. They are making a mountain out of molehill.

Anyone who’s been in the military knows that military readiness is extremely important and is taken very seriously. Serviceman can’t deploy if their dental is overdue. Meanwhile, Steve I mean Sarah is getting hormone injections and then getting sent off to fly a military jet ?‍♂️

There is no question anyone can be qualified to serve. My problem has to do with a society that feels entitled enough to fix nature’s alleged “mistakes”. There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body. That is a social invention. There always were effeminate men and masculine women. However, today we feel entitled to push the envelope because some plastic surgeons can make a decent looking pair of boobs but at the end of the day these gender transitions are social and medical experiments. A man who thinks he is a woman is like an anorexic woman who thinks she is fat. It is a mental disorder and should be treated as such. Offering gender affirming surgery to a person is like offering liposuction to someone suffering from anorexia. It is feeding a delusion. Our society is very sick and delusional.

You can tell that’s a 100% male from the voice lolol ain’t fooling anyone.

I'm so sick of this crap. Does anyone remember the TV show MASH?

If anyone has seen a trans person who is going through any psychological stress or issues, you know that they can be some of the most viable and erratic people. You certainly would not want to give them an M4 rifle or anything of the sort. the fact is, they were given a slew of dangerous chemicals to try and let their bodies mimic being another gender. But they never were another gender and their psyche starts to scream out against themselves.

Anyone that wants to serve this country is a great thing. That does not matter. They should not be able to participate in sports.

I personally do not want anyone so confused and delusional over their identities to be in a position of authority in our military.

Someone who is willing to serve in the United States military will always have my support. I don't care if you are a male, female, transgender, or want to be called a tree. If you are willing to literally die for our country, who am I or anyone else to stop you?

Trumps whole thing is who can he discriminate against that many people are still prejudice against too. Trans people weren’t doing a thing to anyone in military. He just wanted to be cruel.

CNN just can't accept they suck, Trump crushed them like the bugs they are, and just accept it, and stop trying to get people on the smallest of sentences or words where they say 1 thing wrong. Kaitlan collins specializes in asking irrelevant questions to anyone she interviews who is republican, to try and catch them out on the smallest detail she can find about absolutely anything. Whilst for 4 years the dumb democrat absolute scum of the earth party has ruined the country. CNN must be the most delusional news station to exist. I hope Trump takes action against CNN heavily in the coming years.

Can anyone give me 3 reasons HOW allowing transgender people in our military increases the chances of success in combat? Answers that include anything about protecting their feelings does not count. The enemy does not care about your feelings, nor does a projectile meant to cause harm.

I guarantee most people have met a transgender and didn't even know it. I took a course at work and both instructors had transition from female to male. You would never know unless they told you. Im not sure why people want to fight people being who they want to be. They don't impact anyone eles and just want to live their lives. Stupid how Republicans have made this an issue. What about guns that are killing people every day?? What a waste of time going after trans people like they are killing people or something.

They want women out too. Then gays, then who knows. None of it affects anyone but the people involved, and it is none of our business. As long as they do their jobs, I do not care who or what they are. The church and white nationalists are the problem, and that is all of our business. Get them out and let the rest of us live in peace and equality.

1:30 honestly I couldn’t tell. Coming up on 13 yrs of service and i haven’t met anyone transgender if so i couldn’t tell and i was made aware. So if the standards are met whats the problem

I do know a transgender who dominates women’s softball at the highest level but he can’t compete with anyone on my men’s team , he just isn’t strong enough fast enough, sorry it’s just truths in the differences in the two genders, I’m not saying that trans poeple are bad not at all . These practices that the left keep preaching just won’t work

Trans has no place in the military! Period!\n Nothing against anyone Trans. Be whoever you want to be. When it creates an environment where military members may be uncomfortable or have to share a living space hater or bathroom with someone of the opposite sex is WRONG!

This is not the same as biological males playing in female sports... \n\nif a person wishes to serve in the military, it is a great sacrifice and honor - anyone, regardless of gender or sense of identity - as long as they qualify (able bodied, of age etc.) they should be able to serve and the country should be grateful for their service.

Your average soldier is not going to respect a leader or want to follow a leader who used to be a man and is now a woman and Vice, versa! I agree with Trump and Crenshaw even though I don't Crenshaw. There is no room in the military for this BS. I served 10 years and this BS is nothing more than a huge distraction. You have people who were going in just to get the operations. They spend 4 years in the military changing gender on tax payers dime. Out of the whole 4 years they may be deployable for about 6 months and that ain't all at the same time. When I was in this stuff was not an issue! They were not allowed to join and neither were gays.\n\n Think about it everyone is so bent out of shape over sexual assault well if you take a couple of gay guys and put them in an infantry unit they are going to look at all those men the same way a straight guy would look at all the girls if he was dropped off in an all girls collage. Nothing but problems and issues the military doesn't need!!! Seen it first hand back then when it was not allowed. Incase no one noticed military recruitment is down to dangerous levels! Doesn't anyone wonder why??? This post is why. No one wants to be part of a wishy washy military. It's to easy to get hurt or killed when things are running normal! Throw all the gay and trans BS in there and it just F**ks up everything!\n\nSo for 4 years they are almost always on lite duty, they are getting paid and getting the operations then at the end of their enlistment they walk out of the military the opposite sex they came in with and the American taxpayer is hundreds of thousands of dollars down for every one of these fools!!! This is what the democrats did!!! Join the Army and change your sex on us!!!\nNo place in the military for these fools. I feel that anyone who wants to change their sex is mentally ill!!! I have no desire to change into a woman and if I did I would think something was wrong with me and go get help!!!

Anyone who serves for this country military should be honored. Americans, please stop ? focusing on peoples genders and more on their skills!!!! This politics is about your own insecurity and prejudices.

Anyone who is confused of what gender they are should not serve, plain and simple

Why the hell does anyone wanna b a part of the military

Not American. But it is shameful to read how some Americans in here cant even respect someone wanting to serve their country and them. These ppl are ready to give their lives for the so-called 'freedumb' americans are always braggin about. And what they get in return is being reduced to something as primitive as genitals. Shame on anyone who has more an issue with what a fellow human identifes with than the mad tangerine in the white house that is actively destroying the US and democracy. Let's see how far these ppl are willing to serve their fellow citizens like trans soldiers do. Oh right... they dont. Cuz all they care about is themselves. Much respect to her for speaking out and wanting to serve her country. ?

Trump is not fit for the presidency. He avoided being in the military; how can he determine if anyone is fit for the military.

anyone that confused doesnt seem to have their priorities straight....

My daughter went to WestPoint, got top grades in geophysics, did two tours of duty in Iraq. And she changed her gender to male . He isn’t interested in dating anyone, he just wants to do a good job in the reserves. He is a major now….was that all for nothing? Trumps hate and paranoia is ruining this country.

First let me say that I fully support anyone who is fully physically capable of doing whatever job that they are either enlisted to do or has been assigned to do within the military. \n\nIn a time where special forces doesn't mean bulked up freakishly high endurance or specific physical requirements are necessary.\nSpecial ops nowadays is also about mental acumen and ability to assess the entire picture and it is absolutely well known that certain physical factors are required to be on the front lines but to remove a very capable force that is a force multiplier in a time where it's absolutely needed and cannot be replaced quickly or even adequately is doing a massive disservice to our military and the citizens of this country just for the sake of a small group of individuals with small minds that couldn't step into that vacant position and adequately fill it with the same caliber of talent regardless of how they identify themselves!\nBeing the most lethal fighting military requires many talents and to remove those talents from the soldiers they support is absolutely hurting our military in ways that will take decades to rectify!\nThat soldier on the ground calling in drone strikes to get his or her soldiers out of the danger isn't going to care if they are trans or identify as LGBTQ only that they are able to safeguard their soldiers in whatever way they have been trained to do..\nOur military needs to be the most diverse in order to be the most lethal in the most diverse situations throughout the worlds stages!

ANYONE CAN SERVE AS LONG AS THEY ARE QUALIFIED

As a military parent child is currently on deployment. Stop the bull shit. Young men don’t want trans anyone. Putting them in distraction. Anytime anywhere. Serve honorable and go home !!

Anyone ready to rip him from office yet, when will America ya know…America.

Anyone with illegal entry....SHOULD BE DEPORTED WITH NO ACCESS TO FUTURE LEGAL ENTRY!!!

This is what happens when democrats give our country away to anyone who is willing to vote for their bullshit!

The one thing i agree strongly with this guy even tho he is full of empty promises might get more done with congress on his side this time but too many immigrant in our country too my city is unrecognisable and i am serious its getten even a bit intimiditing tje hatred undercurrent in our city these foreigners hate our guts and its our country and we are called the hater its our help and support that is less and less our nhs overrun we sont get the services we arw due because there are too many immigrants in our countries it SIMPLE do not take ordainary people as idiots and produce all this flannel about being humanist charity begjns at home these are prinicipals our grandparents installed in us doesnt me we are unkinnd or wouldnt help anyone but tjeres a limit i feel intimidated daily by foreingers and im a hater for such remarks aye right who are you politicians kidding no wonder trump has such a following even tho i am not a fan of the man but he is bang on here

I have a lot of sympathy for these people, especially considering many gave up everything they had to pay smugglers to get this far while our government was effectively letting everyone in while offering additional incentives such as money and temporary housing. That said, if we don't have borders we don't have a country. Add on the massive welfare state that they will all become burdens on, either immediately or eventually, and it becomes clear to anyone with a little bit knowledge and common sense that the policies of the Biden administration that allowed things to get this bad, if not stopped immediately, would mean the end of the middle class, the further impoverishment of the lower class and massive benefits for the wealthiest among us. And when I say wealthy I'm not talking about the guy making 7 figures. I mean those who control billions, either directly or indirectly. You know, the same people who have the power to influence political parties to enact such policies and push narratives by the corporate media that state anyone who questions the policy is racist, greedy, heartless, or xenophobic.

Venezuela, one of the most violent countries in the world. They are quite accustomed to violence and lawlessness. Anyone who comes from there and wants to enter the USA should be thoroughly vetted and investigated. Do not allow in a Trojan Horse.

There not migrants there illegal immigrants period you come into anyone's country forcefully your illegal

Propaganda, I can’t imagine that anyone wants to go to Trump-America ?
