Exactly, as a Vet I can say President Trump cleaned up the VA, and helped veterans in getting medical treatment they need. Still not perfect, but a hundred times better than the VA of the past.
This “quote” was a straight-out lie. Trump did not say anything like it. People with Trump at the time he supposed said it, deny it. His helicopter flight to the cemetery was cancelled because of weather. Trump, in fact, went to many grave sites and other ceremonies honoring the war dead during his presidency.
The damn problem is Trump sets himself up for this kind of lie because of things he actually does say. Trump’s always saying outrageous things (and boasts that he’s such a good name-caller). Trump is a package deal. You take the good with the bad. There’s no hope he’s going to ever change. He’s not going to “Presidential.” But, the polls indicate that he is again going to President. Biden’s not a good alternative. He’s mentally incompetent and has bad policies. Even considering RFK Jr., that guy also has personal problems and who even knows what his policies are. Sometimes in life, you have to pick from the choices you’re given; and, given the choices we have, Trump is by far the best.
Thanks for the ping!
This is a complete nothing burger served up by Haley. But hey, when you got nothing, go with nothing.
If desperation was a video!!!!
Haley (while admittedly better than Romney) is just like Romney in that she was born to lose a Presidential election. Born to be #2
Haley is no better than Romney.
She’s worse than Liz Cheney.
And Nikki has had multiple affairs on her husband.
—”Insulting someone who is a veteran (even if the insult pertains to their military service) IS NOT insulting all veterans.”
And just how many angels can dance on the point of a pin?
This and the NATO comment will give us 4 more years of biden or harris or possibly newsom.
biden will campaign from his basement eating ice cream saying nothing and unfortunately win.
You may subscribe to the old, “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven” saying.
I do not, and you may want to review the context of ruling in hell...
In other words, veterans are off limits for Trump? Generals Kelly and Mattis can dump on Trump but Trump must just shut up and take it?
LOL! Grow up. I've "accepted" it and have posted people need to get behind President Trump. That doesn't mean that it's inappropriate to note unforced errors. President Trump is going to need every vote to win.
And it's not your call to tell people to leave. If you think I've broken a FR rule on posting, click the Report Abuse link and take your chances.
Re: 53 - Like I said, there’s classy and that’s the way to treat this.
LOL! - and I’m no sheep being lead by the MSM. Try working on the skill of discernment and you’ll be able to read material from many sources, think critically about what they say and still retain true to conservatives principles.
—”So you are saying that Trump should just take insults from people like McRaven without responding in kind just because McRaven is a veteran.”
NOT what I said.
Yes, he has a beef with McRaven.
And can say whatever he likes, but he also besmirches other veterans... Trump also reportedly called Marines who died at Belleau Wood “suckers” and fallen soldiers at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery “losers.” And more...
The problem is he cannot keep his mouth shut and needs the undecideds in the middle.
Notice biden mostly says nothing.
I twice voted for Trump and probably will again if he is the nominee.
IMO the dems will do a last-minute switch-a-roo and bring in newsom.
Trump has a shot over biden, newsom will dominate.
He did not call anyone in the military suckers or losers. That was made up by a leftist journalist, who used “Anonymous” sources to smear Trump. Even John Bolton, who was there, admits this.
Whatever people think of McCain and he was a weasel, making the comment about him being captured was a stupid comment.
Can you point to an article where he claims this? Thanks.
IF he hadn’t tried to SHOWBOAT with his plane-—defying commands to go elsewhere-—
HE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT DOWN.
HE also crashed/lost a number of planes off the aircraft carriers..
Remind me again where he finished in his classes in the Naval Academy——IIRC—HE was 2nd or 3rd from the BOTTOM
I WANT THE ISSUE OF “NOT ELIGIBLE” TO BE HAMMERED OUT-—ONCE & FOR ALL.
Trump never mocked his military service. The fact that you start with that premise means you are being led by the Media.
