“When you look at Joe Biden and the way he’s shouldered the weight of responsibility of being commander in chief, the leader of the United States military, he’s unworthy of that title,” Mast said in the video. “He’s never acted as commander in chief.”
“We are weak globally, and the world knows it,” Zinke said in the video. “We were not weak under President Trump. The world was more stable and more peaceful because he provided the leadership necessary to show that if you mess with us, you will face consequences.”
“He loves his country, he loves his military,” Zinke said in the video, “and under President Trump and the commander in chief, our troops will have our support 100 percent.”
It is my honor to sign a Presidential memorandum facilitating the forgiveness of student loan debt for 25,000 of our most severely disabled veterans. With today’s order, we express the eternal love and loyalty of our people, for whom we are so grateful. May God bless our veterans, and may God bless America. pic.twitter.com/MMMsX3RDQM

“We want a military that is always ready to fight, but only when necessary,” Hunt said. “If you remember, there were no new wars in President Trump’s four years in office. We had the Abraham Accords. We had world peace.”
