    "Plus other bad things"

    What are these "other bad things" that he thinks will happen to these bases besides renaming them?

    The bill passed with a veto-proof majority, I believe. Does trump care more about Confederate generals than he does for a large raise for our men and women in uniform, and a very substantial defense bill? While I would love to see a trump veto overturned by a majority Republican Senate, it wouldn't surprise me if some Republican senators changed their vote out of fear of trump's tweets, as ludicrous as that would be.
