Trump’s Non-White General Count: More Math Than Memo

In a headline that only The Onion could so elegantly spoof, Trump was audibly seen counting non-white generals, transforming a military briefing into a bizarre game of diversity bingo. This incident, as captured by The Onion on April 2024, reflects a moment where the complexities of racial representation intersect awkwardly with presidential candor. The sound bite gave listeners a rare peek at a tally unlike any other, sparking conversations about inclusion, military leadership, and maybe an unofficial Trump listening party. The absurd transparency in counting generals by skin tone amid national security shows that when the facts get weird, humor steps up to the podium.
