And I don't want to see someone post about his bone spur as an excuse for him not going in the service. They can be removed easily and after a few months you're as good as new.
You're off on a pointless tangent now. Perhaps Trump doesn't have all the honorable traits of a Purple Heart recipient? Maybe that's why he wants one? To basically say anyone could sign up and earn a Purple Heart is disrespectful to those who received one. You should be ashamed.

That was beautiful. It is amazing how the Hillarians tried to twist this into Trump being disrespectful. Pretty shameful. They should have more respect for our military.

The people who want a Purple Heart are memorabilia collectors. Trump's office is full of sports memorabilia. He must be giddy with excitement that he has a Purple Heart to add to his collection.
Why couldn't one want the traits of a soldier standing behind that Purple Heart. Personally I hold vets like that in high regard and wouldn't mind one bit of a child of mine wanted to be just like them.

I don't know what you're saying. Trump has never done anything heroic nor has any of the traits that come close to deserving a Purple Heart.

Sure, if one thinks it's heroic to battle against STDs while sleeping around with ten-rated women while at the exact same time, people like my brother were fighting in Vietnam, sure, he definitely deserves a purple heart and we should shower him with accolades.

If that's the case, yes, Trump is truly a hero. That was quite a battle he went through back in the 70s. He fought it hard and won. All the more reason to be proud of this brave man.

Maybe trump will walk around with it pinned to his lapel, and talk about how he was given in and it was so easy to get. yeah, that will make us all respect his sacrifices so much more.

99.99% of people have never done anything heroic and many of them might not have the traits of a Purple Heart recipient. THAT'S why one might want to be like a Purple Heart recipient.

YOU have turned a discussion about an American hero's interaction with Trump into a political mud slinging tangent. You should be ashamed.

Oh yeah, I'm ashamed. To associate Trump with a Purple Heart is shameful. No, I'm not ashamed.

Well, I'm sure he feels he's earned it because some people hurt his feelings by saying mean things about him. That's the same thing, right? Like his sexual escapades in the '60s were "his own personal Vietnam," this campaign can now be "his own, personal Afghanistan." Only, you know, without any personal risk whatsoever.

What an ass.
Most on this forum have a different view of this and the man was genuine when he gave to Mr. Trump. Trump is trying to make positive change . The establishment Media and the Establishment in DC do not want change. Even long GP guys are in on this .


If this your standard then you must think the private server is illege and Gross negligence was committed.
But Hilary remains above the law.


That's OK what's a little corrupt Politics?

Americans are thankful to this brave veteran for his service.

And LOL @ people acting as if ANYTHING Trump says would ever please them. The fake outrage act is more intolerable day by day
