Commander in Chief President Trump signals to the rank and file that they matter more to him than the brass that picks winners and losers based on social justice values.

And we’re going to protect our warfighters...
...they were very thankful. Somebody has their back, and it’s called the “President of the U.S.”

Later, asked whether his comments on insubordinate SecNav Spencer and Lt. Col. Vindman was instead sending the wrong message to the military, he pointed out that the penance free absolution of traitors (my words, not his) Bowe Bergdahl and Bradley "Chelsea" Manning is the sort of thing that sends the wrong message.

You let Sergeant Bergdahl go. You let others go, including a young gentleman, now a person who President Obama let go, who stole tremendous amounts of classified information. And you let that person go.
I'm sure all the news will be about the tranny disrespect he shows by calling Manning a "gentleman". Worried that the media might miss their opportunity to spin up the outrage machine, he clarified to whom he was referring:

Q Mr. President what do you make of —
PRESIDENT TRUMP: The person I’m talking about is Chelsea Manning, by the way, if you had any doubt. So you have Chelsea Manning, who after — after Chelsea Manning was, I assume, pardoned by President Obama, Chelsea Manning went around and badmouthed President Obama, on top of everything else.
