    Disgusting, disgraceful former commander-in-chief.  To my knowledge, no previous president has ever said anything so despicable regarding our fallen.

    Historians have also confirmed no previous president was such a lowlifeasshole to ever say such a thing.  Except for Trump of course

    It was a surprise when it was first reported but other comments since shed all kinds of light on the a-ho

    The other one that comes to mind is telling a grieving widow, “Well, he knew what he was getting himself into.” 

    Outside of the military, he had a famous flub when visiting a neighborhood wrecked by a Cat 5 tornado. He starts by freelancing about how the storm picked up a young boy, flung him in the air, and how it was just amazing that the young boy survived. Then he starts to babble, mentions the parents - and suddenly remembers the parents died.

    Did Trump insult our troops? Yes

    Did Trump start an insurrection and then let it fester for a few hours? Yes

    Thank God the democratic candidate for the White House (Kamala) would never stoop to those heinous levels of unforgivable contempt that Trump did  - the lowest of all lows by far!

    Thank God the democratic candidate for the White House (Kamala) would never stoop to those heinous levels of unforgivable contempt that Trump did  - the lowest of all lows by far!

    Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin was the White House Director of Strategic Communications and Assistant to then President Trump...

    Griffin said,
    “Despite publicly praising the military and claiming
    to be the most pro-military president, there’s a
    demonstrable record of Trump bashing the most
    decorated service members in our country, from
    Gen. Mattis to Gen. Kelly to Gen. Milley, to criticizing
    the wounded or deceased like John McCain. Donald
    Trump will fundamentally never understand service
    the way those who have actually served in uniform
    will, and it’s one of the countless reasons
    he’s unfit to be commander in chief.”

    Bottom line.

    John Kelly goes on the record to confirm several disturbing stories about Trump


    Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of the [convicted felon/rapist] in an exclusive statement to CNN.

    Kelly set the record straight with on-the-record confirmation of a number of damning stories about statements Trump made behind closed doors attacking US service members and veterans, listing a number of objectionable comments Kelly witnessed Trump make firsthand.

    “What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.

A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

    “There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”

    Trump comments on Medal of Honor
    disrespects military and sacrifices
    of our veterans


    USA TODAY -

    The convicted felon, who recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a mega-bucks campaign donor, insulted vets everywhere when he said the Presidential Medal of Freedom “is actually much better” than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers are “either in very bad shape, because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead”

    If Trump believes the Presidential Medal of Freedom is anything like the Congressional Medal of Honor, he just doesn’t get it, and he has no true respect for our veterans.

       "Trump’s singularly corrosive approach to military tradition
    was in evidence as recently as August, when he described
    the Medal of Honor, the nation’s top award for heroism and
    selflessness in combat, as inferior to the Medal of Freedom,
