Trump confuses the Military with his up-on-a-tree-branch-playin'-a-banjo MAGAt rally attendees.

'Viscerally disturbing': Critics disgusted as troops goaded into booing by Trump

Trump spoke to soldiers at the U.S. Army base Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Tuesday where he urged National Guard soldiers on the ground in California to boo the media and protesters.

Many who saw the video experienced a visceral reaction or expressed downright fear.

"Pondering Politics" host Jessiah Eberlan posted, "Of all the insane s--t we’ve seen from Trump, this is among the most viscerally disturbing. US troops celebrating domestic deployment of marines and booing the media? Big f----ing yikes!"

Politico analyst Marco Frieri asked, "Why the hell are troops booing the media? This is a dangerous politicization of the armed forces."
