1) he knows more than the generals

4) had more military training than those serving

But instead, he was a draft dodging chickenhawk.

And his Trumplings still swallow that BS whole.

Very amusing.

Fake news! He suffered his own personal Vietnam!

Obama wouldn't even send help and there was plenty of time for help to get there. The soldiers who were there told the real truth.
Exactly!!!

However, since the liberal-biased media holds Obama in such high regard, and to them, he walks on water and has never erred once. . . that same media who buried all of Obama's sins will instead bash President Trump 24/7 to divert any negative attention away from Obama.

That media is unpatriotic, a detriment to our country, and the main reason there are so many who erroneously bash President Trump without any validity. . .just so they can appear to be part of the unethical, immature, and irresponsible anti-President Trump club.

IF President Trump made any indication that the soldier knew what he was signing up for, he was correct. Anyone who enlists in the military knows they may end up fighting for our country . . and if they enlisted just to get free education or a VA loan for a house, then they were only fooling themselves.

The R lies spread on this forum are disgusting.

The Congress woman had known the family for a long time.
The congresswoman prefaced his comments with the word "basically". That means he didn't literally say this.

She's politicizing this woman's grief.

Just when you think you've heard it all.

I doubt this woman cares one way or the other whether that tape is played is or not.

It's Trump's honor on the line here, not hers.



I doubt if she personally cared if Trump called her either...............

any time the preface is the word 'basically', you should be aware that the speaker is paraphrasing.

and this dingbat was one of the early TDS sufferers who refused to even attend trump's inauguration, so we already know where she's coming from.

The media is patriotic because they are doing the job they were charged with. They are supposed to watchdog the government, to critically assess the job our leaders are doing, to report to the public what they discover.

No, the media doesn't think that Obama walks on water. They didn't bury Obama's sins. We certainly heard the complaints and criticisms of Obama over the past eight years.

Maybe, instead of leaping to the defense of Trump, people should stop and take a deep breath and consider what they are defending.

If President Trump made this remark, which he denies, then it was an insensitive remark. And the additional, "if they enlisted just to get free education or a VA loan for a house" is victim blaming. La David Johnson died for this country. He deserves better.

That’s really funny because you guys always whine when people parse The Poet Trump’s words.

Hilariously hypocritical, Cult 45.

There are many clips on Ronald Wilson Reagan on the Tube; a man who's communication skills are considered among the best in American Presidential History. A hero to many on this site; many of those same people defending the communication skills of this President.

Those Reagan clips, agree with him politically or not, are valuable lessons on how and what to speak!
