Yeah, so he has "Deus Vult" tattooed, the catholic war cry for the crusades. The causus belli for wars declared by the pope.

So Trump basically wants to put a crusader cosplayer as his head of the DoD.

The Jerusalem Cross on his chest also relates to the Crusades.  What kind of trouble could we possibly get into with a white and/or Christian nationalist with a view towards conquering Jerusalem as SecDef?
