Fake tough guy can't handle going to Dover to receive the bodies of his fallen heros.
In the world of President Donald Trump, he has paid his respects to “many, many” returning soldiers killed in the line of duty, with daughter and top presidential aide Ivanka Trump adding that “each time” she has stood by his side at one of these ceremonies, it has hardened his resolve to bring troops home.
In the real world, Trump has traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware exactly four times ― fewer than half as many times as his vice president ― and avoided going at all for nearly two years after getting berated for his incompetence by the father of a slain Navy SEAL, according to a former White House aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.
In the real world, Trump has traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware exactly four times ― fewer than half as many times as his vice president ― and avoided going at all for nearly two years after getting berated for his incompetence by the father of a slain Navy SEAL, according to a former White House aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Bill Owens, the father of William “Ryan” Owens, refused to shake Trump’s hand at that Feb. 1, 2017, encounter, the aide said, and then told Trump that he was responsible for his son’s death for approving the disastrous raid in Yemen without bothering to understand the risks.
“He refused to go back for two years, he was so rattled,” the aide said, adding that the main reason Trump had approved the raid just five days after taking office was that predecessor Barack Obama had refused to do so.
The country needs more "never Trump" people on the right.
I swear, if 8 women came out and claimed that Trump got them pregnant and forced them to get abortions, with him paying, he'd lose the election. It doesn't even have to be true. That's all that most of his base cares about. Give that piece of shot a taste of his own medicine.
To play Devil's Advocate, all four of the alleged "sources" for this story have remained anonymous. Until someone comes out of the shadows, there is a credibility problem, the same it would be if four anonymous sources were claiming Biden had said something untoward. We may all want to believe, or have no doubt believing Trump said this, but that doesn't necessarily make it true.
I don't know, he's certainly capable of having these thoughts but I'm a smidge dubious that he came out and said these things in the context that its presented.
That being said, the fact it's impossible to tell with this guy, is disheartening.
Not sure what could be a worse accusation, that he enjoys strangling cats?
The allegations were first reported in The Atlantic. A senior Defense Department official with firsthand knowledge of events and a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer who was told about Trump’s comments confirmed some of the remarks to The Associated Press, including the 2018 cemetery comments.
The defense officials said Trump made the comments as he begged off visiting the cemetery outside Paris during a meeting following his presidential daily briefing on the morning of Nov. 10, 2018.
A former senior administration official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly, confirmed to The Washington Post that the president frequently made disparaging comments about veterans and soldiers missing in action, referring to them at times as “losers.”
In one account, the president told senior advisers that he didn’t understand why the U.S. government placed such value on finding soldiers missing in action because they had performed poorly and gotten caught and deserved what they got, according to a person familiar with the discussion.
Trump believed people who served in the Vietnam War must be “losers” because they hadn’t gotten out of it, according to a person familiar with the comments. Trump also complained bitterly to then-Chief of Staff John F. Kelly that he didn’t understand why Kelly and others in the military treated McCain, who had been imprisoned and tortured during the Vietnam War, with such reverence. “Isn’t he kind of a loser?” Trump asked, according to the person familiar with Trump’s comments.
I've thought so many times this a road to far and I've been proven wrong but with Fox weighing in this might finally be the one. Saw one person tweet that his next Marine next door neighbor threw his Trump sign in the trash this morning.
I know you can't indict a sitting president, but as commander in chief, could charges be brought against Trump under the Uniform Code of Military Justice?
Hopefully the unnamed sources will go on the record now that this shit-storm is really stirring up. But Dr. Fauci and his family are getting death threats from the wingnuts, so I get it if they're worried about their personal safety. And they should. I would too. Many of his followers are legit psychos.
