Based on what little I know of Trump's psychology, he might be more offended by the alcohol on the table (supposedly his brother drank himself to death or something).

    Yeah Trump has always been a vocal teetotaller because of Fred Trump jr.

    When his alcoholism prevented him from continuing to function as a pilot, Trump returned to work for his father's business. He eventually moved into the unfurnished attic of his parents' house and again did maintenance on Trump properties.[20] On September 26, 1981,[21] at the age of 42, he died from a heart attack caused by his alcohol use.[22][23][b]

    He's got a chip on his shoulder about alcohol specifically being a pathetic vice for weak losers.

    (Uh, to be clear I am describing Trump's thought process there. I, myself, am someone who abuses the so-called pathetic vice for weak losers. Not trying to hit anyone with strays on this.)

    Doesn't seem to have gotten in the way of his elevation of Kegsbreath.

    I disagree that it would have ever gotten in the way, I think the logic behind this is it's better to have a (controllable) weak pathetic loser at the head of the military hierarchy than someone who is a political threat to you.
