Donald Trump plays an anti-LGBTQ+ military video full of “Full Metal Jacket” clips

Donald Trump wants a “full metal” military…playing a video at last night’s rally Kamala Harris for wanting a “woke military” – and playing clips of it Stanley Kubrickis “Full Metal Jacket”.

The former POTUS was in Coachella, California, on Saturday night when he started talking military… and he played a video that’s easier to watch than explain.

The video – which Trump has since posted and at the top of his

The video then jumps back and forth between clips from the movie “Full Metal Jacket” and videos of alleged military personnel in women’s clothing Rachel Levinea transgender woman serving in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Biden‘s administration.

Although it’s not the first time he’s played it at a rally, Trump is clearly doubling and tripling the clip. In his X post from last night he wrote in the caption: “WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!”

At its core, DJT seems to be wanting the military to recapture some kind of old-fashioned macho feel… and there seems to be no room in his version of the military for gay military men and women, at least those who are publicly out or in Dress in traditional costume.

The scenes he shows from the film feature the abusive Gunnery Sergeant Hartman – played by a late actor R. Lee Ermey – he insults his cadets and prepares them for war… and tries to toughen them up in the film.

Worth mentioning – and, spoiler here – one of his cadets, played by Vincent D’OnofrioHe ends up murdering Hartman… so it’s not a perfect analogy.

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was abolished under the law back in 2010 Obama Administration…allow military personnel to come out if they wish. The military has also added numerous diversity initiatives, particularly since Biden took office.

It’s unclear what Donald Trump will try to impose on the military if he’s elected next month… but we expect it will look very different than it does now.
