Trump complained about wounded soldier performing in public

[vraiblonde]

Lets face it, Trump will never change, buts lets not pretend his words are never fail magic and that he can do no wrong.

I've never said or even indicated that. What I do say is that the things that OUTRAGE!! the media and therefore the people who consume media don't even ping my radar. Other politicians have said WAY more offensive things and get a pass, but Trump makes a valid observation and the media programs its audience to become infuriated....over something that is the butt honest truth.

Don't you prefer if service men and women don't get captured by the enemy?
Don't you prefer not to see horribly maimed service members?
I do take issue with Trump calling his Generals a bunch of pussies - I'd call them a bunch of traitorous political commies and lock them in a federal prison for life.

Truth hurts and media consumers writhe in agony every time Trump opens his mouth...because that's what they're told to do.

OMG meatloaf!
TWO!!! scoops of ice cream!!

Trump's list of outrages just goes on and on and on.....

He feeds the feeling of outrage with his mouth cannons inaccurate fire. Just like a cop who takes down a druglord then runs over a little old lady. He makes the outrage easier to stoke.

He didn't say he preferred for them not to be captured. He said he prefers ones that were not.
I don't mind seeing them at all. Better than hiding them away.

In those two above, you are recasting his words, both real an imagined, since neither of us thing he said the second part. IF you need to reword them to make them sound better, that again makes my point.

I dont writhe in agony, I just recognize the damage this crap does with folks in the middle. You know, the ones he needs to win?

As it turned out, she was the drug mule.

At his welcome ceremony at Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, across the Potomac River from the capital, Milley gained an early, and disturbing, insight into Trump’s attitude toward soldiers. Milley had chosen a severely wounded Army captain, Luis Avila, to sing “God Bless America.” Avila, who had completed five combat tours, had lost a leg in an IED attack in Afghanistan, and had suffered two heart attacks, two strokes, and brain damage as a result of his injuries.

After Avila’s performance, Trump walked over to congratulate him, but then said to Milley, within earshot of several witnesses, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.” Never let Avila appear in public again, Trump told Milley.

I can only go by what McCain showed me, and I never one time saw honor.

I had read that McCains' father was an Admiral and negotiated for better treatment for him. It was decided that he would be better served if he stayed and helped the other POWs cope instead of being released and risk being shot down again.

Build Back Better was never passed. Well, it did pass the House but never made it through the Senate so I’m not sure why you’re waiting for it to happen.

My Dad was at the Academy with him. Didn't know him personally, but yeah, everyone knew that he was a rich kid and his Dad was an admiral, and he acted like it. My Dad said he couldn't stand him - he was an arrogant rich kid. Dad voted for him - but reluctantly.

I have to admit, being offered an early release is hard to turn down, but the VC NEVER OFFERED IT unless it came with a price - selling out secrets, your fellow soldiers. Accepting an early release was - well - treason. McCain was not unique in ths fashion. MANY veterans refused to betray their country and comrades. That's what it basically was - get sent home early AFTER you spill your guts to the enemy.

That would certainly be additional incentive to tough it out if you were enjoying preferential treatment.

Honestly though the well done steak thing made me hesitate a bit....

Let me point out that 2016 Trump was quite outspoken and not as diplomatic as you'd like him to be. And he won.

True, but that was eight long years ago. Eight long years of the media having its way with his statements. The moderate center was far more accepting back then. Maybe Bidens poisoned that well bad enough that maybe he has a chance. Maybe not.

Que sera sera

If voters decide that Joe Biden has been a terrific president and they're much better off with him than they were with Trump, oh well. You'll never get me to believe the 2020 election was on the up and up, but perhaps it *is* that Americans love crime and poverty and giving our tax money away to foreigners instead of helping our own. If Trump's bold language is such a deal breaker they'd rather have looting and lockdowns and schools turning their kids trans, that's just the way it is.

Yep, election had issues.

1. Fix those.
2. Get your own workaround the process like they did.
3. It ain't the "bold" stuff. Its the childish, vindictive, and petty stuff. Stupid pet names, that sort of thing. Americans on the whole prefer a leader who isn't reacting to others like they are in fifth grade. You can still call Shiff a liar. You can still call them corrupt. Straight bold true words.


Edit: Just to be clear. The thing that pisses me off most about the man is that with the single most important job in history of jobs wating to be done, he cannot exercise the self control needed to ace the freakin interview. I want him in there doing what he did before. Only more effectively. Not getting into twitter pissing matched with d list celebs. Buckle the eff down and stick to being the President.

This is such a guy thing. "Be exactly this way....but better." All these terrific characteristics, but there's this one little thing that isn't ideal...and nope. Sorry. Next.

I wish you luck in your quest for your idea of perfection.

See, if asking for better = asking for perfection, then we have to disagree. Asking Fetterman to not dress like a friken slob in the Seante isnt asking for perfection. What you seem to fail to understand is that to millions of people, when Trump does that stuff, its a Fetterman moment. I don't think being better than Fetterman is asking for perfection.
