The Left Chides President Trump's Thanksgiving Call With Troops Stationed Overseas
Townhall.com ^ | November 22, 2018 | Beth Bauman

Posted on 11/22/2018 6:43:58 PM PST by Kaslin

President Trump conducted a phone call with various troops stationed around the world early Thanksgiving Day. He took the time to ask each branch on the call what their mission is and how things are looking on the ground.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING: Pres. Trump holds a teleconference to wish service members around the world a happy Thanksgiving. https://t.co/c9mlzpNYKg— ABC News (@ABC) November 22, 2018

Of course, the Left wasted no time criticizing every. single. aspect. of Trump's call.

Will be speaking with our great military in different parts of the world, through teleconference, at 9:00 A.M. Eastern. Then it will be off to see our Coast Guard patriots & to thank them for the great job they have been doing, especially with the hurricanes. Happy Thanksgiving!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2018

In Thanksgiving phone call with deployed troops, Trump quotes economic numbers at home and calls the US the “hot nation of the world.”— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) November 22, 2018

President Trump is currently on a teleconference call with all five branches of the military. He read from scripted remarks initially but now he’s talking about the wall (“barbed wire plus”) and the “bad people” trying to cross at the border. pic.twitter.com/DzdGzMVepd— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 22, 2018

Trump literally just spoke to a military officer in his Thanksgiving call about how bad our trade deals are and how other countries are taking advantage of us. The military officer responded: we really don't deal with trade here. #Thanksgiving— (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) November 22, 2018

On a public call now with military personnel deployed around the world this #Thanksgiving, President Trump is lecturing on the unfairness of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.— Josh Campbell (@joshscampbell) November 22, 2018

Trump is so terrible on this call with the military. Why is he bringing up the southern border/immigration/the 9th Circuit to soldiers putting their lives on the line in Afghanistan?! Just horrible.— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) November 22, 2018

Wow Trump is going to drive a few miles from his exclusive country club in Florida today to a local Coast Guard station to spend a few minutes before playing golf. What a contrast to what real Presidents do. #Thanksgiving pic.twitter.com/ZpNLFFKNyo— (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) November 22, 2018

Teleconferencing combat zone troops on Thanksgiving instead of actually visiting them is Trump's personal Vietnam— Adam Blickstein (@AdamBlickstein) November 22, 2018

It seems like no matter what President Trump does, the Left will never be happy. He uses a telephone, there's a freakout. He doesn't physically visit the troops, he's called a jerk. He talks about our immigration and security, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Seriously, liberals. What will make you happy? What could Trump possibly do or say that will make you happy? Anything? Anything at all?

F**k all of them. They’re the biggest threats to this nation. It’s not Russians. It’s not the Chinese. It’s not Muslim extremists. It’s the RAT Party of America and their media arm that pose the most danger to this nation!

Somehow I don’t think they are sincere. The Leftists despise the military.

When a group complains about literally everything, eventually their competes mean nothing.

This only makes them look like petty ankle biters who are best ignored by the more powerful.

And then some of the media wonder why, like Rodney Dangerfield, why they ‘Don’t Get No Respect’?

Because, all of a sudden, the left cares about "the troops".

Bless their hearts.

Ms. Bauman. You quoted from a few insane leftist (Blow and Dean) and a couple of other unknown nuts whose followers consist of the mentally ill Left and 3 dead squirrels.

Glad you listed their nastiness and stupidity because it contrasts with the real men and women of America who are in the service.

There is a difference between being an “internet commando” and a “real one”.

Internet commandos (ICs) sleep in their parents basements or return to their padded cells at the local asylum at night.

Real commandos sleep, often outside in harsh condition, in sleeping bag or ponchos all over the work protecting the ICs.

Not a fair situation but the Real Commandos are who make America great and separates the “men and women” from the “snowflakes and pretenders”.

Like my dear mother-in-law said today: “If President Trump gave everyone in the country a million dollars, the communist left would still bitch about it. There is no co-existing with these morons.”
I liked to fell outta the chair laughing whne she said it....but it’s the truth. No matter what this man does, they’re gonna bitch about it.

“They’re the biggest threats to this nation. It’s not Russians. It’s not the Chinese. It’s not Muslim extremists. It’s the RAT Party of America and their media arm that pose the most danger to this nation!”

That’s because the Dems have sold out to the Russians, Chinese and globalists who use Muslims as their proxies. Clintons with Uranium one and Russian high tech. CA Dems have sold out to the Chicoms. Obama was our first Muslim president and he helped the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the Iranians.

If leftist judges keep interfering with Trumps legitimate CIC duties, Trump will need to declare a military police action at the border. Then, anyone aiding or abetting the invaders could be held for treason, espionage etc.
