Trump’s degradation of US generals should affront every American possessed of integrity and the faintest modicum of sense

Of all the ignominies committed by Donald J. Trump—both during his presidencies and throughout his sordid life—the public debasement of our nation’s military leadership shall stand among the most contemptible. That grotesque spectacle of humiliation will endure as one of his nadirs, a moment emblematic of his boundless vulgarity and moral void. And ours. It is high time for a reckoning in the glass—ye #MAGA supporters and enablers among the populace, behold thine own reflection. —Arthur Newhook, 4 October 2025.

{alternate text for the above image} A political cartoon portrays a decorated, stone-faced general in full military uniform, his medals and insignia exaggerated to the point of absurd density, symbolising authority and service. Beside him, bold text reads: “AM I INSULTED? A DRUNK AND A DRAFT DODGER JUST TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO DO BETTER.” The juxtaposition conveys his disbelief and indignation at being publicly rebuked by an unworthy superior—specifically, a leader who avoided military service himself. The artwork, drawn in clean, satirical lines, captures the tension between honourable service and corrupt leadership, serving as a critique of hypocrisy within political power.
