I think there is a restraining order out on him for that.

One good thing to come out of his Presidency is that spelling will be so much easier for kids, once they get the hang of the new Trump language.

Ow. Trump basically tells Boy Scouts not to listen to the free press. This is hitler youth stuff.

Good grief. Talk about a man in love with the sound of his own voice. It reminds me of the old joke, "Enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"

Weirdly, I feel incredibly embarrassed for our president. That was ... I'm honestly at a loss for words.

Since OP didn't provide a link to what Trump actually said, I Googled it for myself and came up with the following from The Hill:

President Trump drew a crowd of tens of thousands to a national gathering of Boy Scouts in West Virginia on Monday evening, where he hammered his political opponents and pressured Republicans in the Senate to repeal and replace ObamaCare...

There, Trump gleefully recounted his election victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“What we did, in all fairness, is an unbelievable tribute to you and all of the other millions and millions of people that came out and voted [to] make America great again,” Trump said.

The legal voting age in the US is 18 years. Boy Scouts have until age 18 to work on their merit badges, Eagle Scout status, etc. From the Boy Scout website:

Merit badges, badges of rank, and Eagle Palms may be earned by a registered Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or qualified Venturer or Sea Scout. He may earn these awards until his 18th birthday.

Glad to learn that Scouting now includes throwing presidential elections by underage voters. Bet they even have a merit badge for it these days.

I think his reputation for roaming around backstage at his Miss America events and his Access Hollywood tapes would make that a definite no.

Who would subject their daughter to that? Seriously, 45 freely admitted to this inappropriate behavior so parents have been forewarned.

Where are his handlers?!

Time to own it.

Be like a Boy Scout and get the merit badge.
