Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

Somebody has collected all of Trump's heartfelt statements about people serving in the military. All of these statements have been confirmed by multiple sources.


https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...uckers/615997/

"The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic."

I'm completely unsurprised by the remarks of the psychopath. I bet his supporters dismiss this as "fake news."

He's already on it. His handlers must have prodded him out of his lair early this morning.

I've been wondering who it's core supporters are. Google says blue collar white men, but I'd like a clearer picture than that. The news machine is feeding them just the right conspiracy theories and its working amazingly well. A message crafted by teams of well paid soulless psychologists, no doubt.

His core supporters are white supremacists. Always have been. Plenty of them out there. That means people who support supremacy for people with white skin. Some of them, like Ben Carson and Clarance Thomas are not white themselves, but feel that white people are just better.

God made coloration of dogs, cats and people so that there would be some pretty variety, not as a significator of granting legal status. We did that all on our own. Racists suck.

That means you, Wouk.

There's more to it than that. Entire classes of jobs are going away rapidly and will continue to do so. Our nation's response has been I got mine and good luck to you. And the rich are winning in a big way.

The shitgibbon's core supporters are blue collar white men with a high school diploma. The usual sneer is oh well they're stupid, but that's just not true. They can clearly see their slice of the American dream fading fast, replaced with the prospect of poverty and homelessness.

Somehow the shitgibbon has managed to draw them in. The fact that all politicians actually are totally sold out whores who's only god is money, means they can only choose between bad and worse. So maybe they want to take the rest of us down with them.

It may cheer up to know that his support is slipping in the military, and presumably among their families and veterans. From a Military Times Poll:

Quote:
In the latest results — based on 1,018 active-duty troops surveyed in late July and early August — nearly half of respondents (49.9 percent) had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. Questions in the poll had a margin of error of up to 2 percent.
Right now they show Biden 4 points ahead of Trump in the election.

Second point, I think Biden also has appeal to blue collar workers. He's from Scranton. He's rough around the edges (like that idiot) but he also comes across as a grown up.

I don't think we can stop worrying about this election until Biden wins AND gets inaugurated, but I think there are reasons to be hopeful.

Donnie Diarrhea called the 1800 Marines who lost their lives at Belleau Woods "losers."
He just offended every Marine alive.

If only they believe that he said it! I wish that the anonymous people would come out and tell who they are.

He was recorded insulting Gold Star families. We need more people to step up with PROOF!

I've known since the 1980s that Trump was some sort of crackpot asshole. Since 2015, I've learned that he is a cruel, heartless and bottomless pit of narcissistic psychopathy that has laid a foundation to destroy the United States of America. I've strongly disliked the Republican Party of the past six decades, but I am frankly surprised at how eagerly the republicans rushed to embrace and defend this loser since late 2015.

I think there is a strong possibility that the voter suppression and destruction of the USPS could get him in a position to claim he was reelected. I understand he will make that claim regardless of how much he gets wiped out at the polls.

I really hope that we get a (more than a!) few changed minds after the debates.

My completely unrealistic hope is that he is defeated in such a landslide that any protest is pointless. I know he will get 30-40% of the vote no matter what, but wouldn't it be great if every state went that way? He never got above 40% in any state and didn't get a single electoral vote? Hey, I can dream, can't I?

I fully expect that Trump will make up some accusations to justify cancelling the debates as they get really close. He cannot be pleased that the three different moderators for the three different debates are not journalists who bow down to him. In particular, he has to be dreading Chris Wallace, who works for Fox, but handed Trumps ass to him in a recent interview. I fully expect Wallace to punch just as hard at Biden, and I hope Biden is ready for it.

No, just stupid people who don't know the difference between simple words like our and are.

Been working for the DoD right around 25 years, son. You'd be surprised how blue it is around here.

I think Trump is going to win, I just get the same feeling I had in 2016, everyone was just so sure that Hillary would win, I don't really trust the polls, but even the polls say things are narrowing.

That is just plain idiotic. How about thinking for yourself for a change?


Anyway.


It is absolutely no surprise that Trump is utterly incapable of grasping concepts like altruism and sense of duty.

I think that Trump understands people who are not psychopaths are altruistic and sense duty to some degree or another. He may be capable of faking it, like Sheldon Cooper smiling.

He's a fictional character. And yes, the character is an athiest. He is very clean and hygenic however. Even you would be humbled by his attention to sterile technique.

Soldiers marching in uniforms are great, because loyalty to the Dear Leader is highly regarded. Soldiers in wheelchairs, not so much, as it reminds us of the inevitable outcome of militarism.

That sounds very frightening. Like trying to spread butter, honey and live bees on bread.

He is an atheist, but I wouldn't call him the most devout atheist to ever walk the planet and that is all due to something that he says to his mother during the season two episode of Young Sheldon named A Crisis Of Faith And Octopus Aliens.

God bless you always!!!
