Trump can hold a rally anywhere and get love, unlike whoever the 2020 Democrat candidate is.

The kool -aid is strong today.

I always wanted Rudy G to be AG.

Rudy G will never be AG because he won't get confirmed. Plus, he's a bit demented.

Sessions is anything but a Clinton fan but surely you must know that.

Are you just trolling here?

All the people who voted for Trump were fooled by his propaganda.

Yes, there are quite a few atheists and agnostics in the organization. Many local troops are open and welcoming, even if the organization as a whole is not.

So why did they invite Trump? Surely they knew he would attack Obama, carry on about “fake news” and bad mouth Clinton.

The rambling on about the builder going bankrupt who “ was now much older. And I saw him at a cocktail party, and it was very sad because the hottest people in New York were at this party, ...” might have been unexpected, but the rest is Trump's M.O.

Boy Scouts of America distances itself from partisan politics after Trump speech - POLITICO

They invite civic leaders. Period.

Civic duty is a large part of the program. NORMALLY a civic leader would say something appropriate and non-partisan, like 'Duty to God and Country' stuff.

But it's evident Trump is not 'normal'.

Blaming BSA is misguided. The ire should lay squarely at the feet of the Dufus delivering the message.

The President said he would rather be talking to the Boy Scouts than be dealing with the sewer of D.C.


Boy Scout

Well, he should not have gone into politics, this was not an appropriate venue for that. I didn't like it when Obama did that, and still don't like it with Trump.
