Trump says presidential civilian award is 'better' than top military honor whose recipients are 'dead' or 'hit' by bullets
Trump praised Republican donor Miriam Adelson for having received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a top civilian award.
The fact that so many veterans will still vote for that orange sack of shit, thinking that he supports them, is astounding. Trump has made it clear multiple times that he loathes veterans. Not even just a lack of support or empty gestures, he actually hates them, he actually thinks veterans are morons, losers, and suckers.
And for those who vote for him, I leave any inferences up to the reader.
I saw a Veteran with a Trump sticker on his Truck so I called him a Loser and Sucker and he Kissed my Feet!
You should have that printed on a tshirt in as many irritating typefaces as possible.
So he's saying that people who get hit by bullets are losers? Noted.
Don't make the mistake of applying logic where there is none.
To conservatism, logic might as well be a quantum superposition based entirely upon the contents on your feefees, at any given planck time.
Content of my covfefes, surely? 😄
I mean technically speaking
For the life of me I will never understand how he continues to shit all over veterans and so many of them continue to be the orange man’s cuck.
He could say, on fox "news" and outright say he'll eliminate the VA and all veteran benefits entirely because "if you get injured it's your own damn fault for being a terrible soldier"...and they'd still simp for their orange turd
It absolutely amazes me that people give him a free pass for this shit. Same with his remarks at Belleau Wood.
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
felon weirdo grifter trump only wants to “give out medals” as a form of quid pro quo.
Cant grift off the dead
If it staves off any Horst Wessel-izations, I'm not gonna complain about that mindset.
seems like hatred of gays/women/mexicans/etc. will make people vote for someone who actively shits on them and the institution they died for at every opportunity
the institution they died for
Hmm, usually dead people don’t vote.
yep. and when dead people vote, it's a pretty safe bet it was a R vote
Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have criticized the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for his military record and have sought to make reverence for military service an issue in the election. Vance, who is also a veteran, has criticized Walz for opting to retire after more than 20 years in the National Guard but before his unit was set to be deployed to Iraq. Walz has defended his military service.
Well they pooched it up at the end there, but it's interesting that NBC even attempted to contextualize it in the larger sense of their attacks on Walz. That's unusually bold of them, I began to wonder if they thought theywere smelling blood. Until they tried neutering/both-sidesing it with "Walz has defended his military service[, though]".

Being Donald Trump is so awesome, though. If you say something bone-headed like this, no matter how it it is recorded, all you have to do is say "I never said that!" and poof .... it never happened! Cool, huh?
Do you think if he got elected, due to being shot, he would give himself a Purple Heart? Or maybe a Medal of Honor?
I have no doubt he could with a straight face argue that running for Commander in Chief is essentially being in the military.
Actually he already has a purple heart…

Firstly, lol. Of course to everything in that article. Can't believe I didn't already just assume that was true.
Second, I meant awarded one. That reads like the guy just symbolically gave the medal to Trump, but Trump isn't entitled to wear it. Anyone could have a replica Purple Heart, but without the citation it's just a gauche keepsake. It would be illegal for him to wear it—not that that would stop him or result in anyone telling him not to.
But it doesn't matter. Just idle speculation about exactly how big an asshole he is. Always shockingly so, but just not always in the ways I might predict.
Way to alienate your target audience, Donnie.
That's the most amazing thing.
After the 2016 election there was a panel discussion; all the creators of the top political TV shows were invited. West Wing, House of Cards, Veep, Scandal, and others. Every creator said the same thing. If they'd had a character say that they "liked soldiers who didn't get captured" the netowrks and advertisers would have demanded that character be despised by all Americans.
I've seen houses with the black POW/MIA flag and a Trump poster, because they can live in two realities at once.
Maybe unpopular but i agree. Broken clock, bla bla. I wonder how many of those dead soldiers actually needed to die and how many were just killed by pointless proxy and oil wars.
That’s beside the point though.
Not really. He might not have meant it that way, but i prefer people being alive to receive their awards.
Honoring soldiers (dead or alive) might have its place, but certainly civilian achievements are just better for everyone in general, usually more productive and dont involve having to kill people. Soldiers are literally just doing their jobs, that they chose to do and get paid for.
In the case of the US the things they do and the warcrimes they commit usually do not benefit civilian society and especially not the country that they served in.
