No matter whether he intends what he says or not, that’s definitely not how a presidential candidate should behave. If one wants to govern a country (as opposed to running it into ground), at the minimum one should not be ridiculous.
Last time, I recall, it took him a fairly long weaseling to use the border guard a bit, here and there. I don’t think the US military is eager to do his bidding, or cheerful about being drawn into his campaign.
Over here, in a different country on a whole different continent, the previous (now retired) commander of the defense forces had a habit of providing fact corrections when politicians lied, spinned or bluffed about defense. For a reason which didn’t need a detective to figure out, only conservative populists ended up on his shit list. :)
One of the conservative populists took being corrected so personally that he got into a social media confrontation with the general right before elections. Politologists later estimated that it was not beneficial at all to the politician involved. :)
