Trump's Buddy Has Problems

The Donald got his way in Kentucky.

But it looks like his "war hero" pal has problems of his own.  Or maybe he just can't count.

 ...Gallrein has claimed in his 2026 campaign materials that he received four Bronze Stars. However, a longstanding paper trail spanning more than a decade consistently describes him as having received three Bronze Stars....

Then there's the "resume fluffing" stuff (yes, it's a common practice):

... A separate discrepancy also appears to exist between Gallrein’s official Navy biography, which reportedly lists his retirement date as September 2011, and his LinkedIn profile, which shows him as serving on active duty with the Navy through May 2014....

 ...That LinkedIn timeline overlaps with private-sector employment at GemTech from November 2011 through May 2013, as well as archived professional listings referencing work with RDRS Bangladesh....

There's a reason that he buried his GemTech work:

 ...Gallrein felt “threatened” by his co-workers and alleged “several incidents of retaliation” by coworkers and management before his “termination on May 16, 2013.”...

Probably won't get a good reference there.

...Gallrein, who has been married twice, leaned heavily on his then-wife during his 2024 state Senate campaign and encouraged her to draw down her self-employment income, according to Shelby Circuit Court family division records obtained by the Caller.

Gallrein filed for divorce one month after losing the 2024 state Senate race, court documents reviewed by the Caller show. The filings allege that he cut off his former spouse financially, repeatedly told her to “get out of his house” and said he would not provide her with financial support....

Won't get a good reference from her, either.

Nothing in the above is unusual, nor "horrible."  

Trump gets to pick his pals and Trump gets to pick which wars into which he sends your children.

Hmmmm.
