When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
Belleau Wood is a consequential battle in American history, and the ground on which it was fought is venerated by the Marine Corps. America and its allies stopped the German advance toward Paris there in the spring of 1918. But Trump, on that same trip, asked aides, “Who were the good guys in this war?” He also said that he didn’t understand why the United States would intervene on the side of the Allies.
Trump’s understanding of concepts such as patriotism, service, and sacrifice have interested me since he expressed contempt for the war record of the late Senator John McCain, who spent more than five years as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015 while running for the Republican nomination for president. “I like people who weren’t captured.” ...
Trump trucks, trump boats. You'd have to pay me an awful lot of money to desecrate my car for any politician. Imagine if these idiots spent this money actually helping people.

I'm gonna ride my bike around Antietam battlefield tomorrow where a lot of "losers" died fighting for the USA.
Lol trump is such a piece of shit. How do people still look up to this shit stain? I've concluded they're either garbage human beings themselves, or they're that incredibly ignorant of everything this guys said/done. It's all out in the open, too. All you need to do is browse his Twitter.

Antietam is a great park. Read up on the "Bloody ditch" (sometimes "trench" or "sunken road") then stand there and feel majorly spooky.

The Democratic super PAC American Bridge is launching a $4 million ad campaign against President Donald Trump in Midwestern battleground states in an attempt to capitalize on a report that he disparaged dead American soldiers....

Apparently cult members don't have nautical skills.

With temperatures at 90 degrees and helicopters buzzing overhead, the Lake Travis Trump Boat Parade, as the event was known on Facebook, began at noon. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office received its first call for help related to the event at 12:15, spokesperson Kristen Dark told The Daily Beast. The sheriff’s office responded to similar calls for the nearly two-hour duration of the demonstration, according to Dark.
“We’ve responded to multiple calls of boaters in distress, and some of the craft did sink,” Dark said.
Captain Christa Stedman of Travis County Emergency Medical Services said at least four boats had been reported swamped, though, she said, “That might be on the low side.”
The sheriff’s office said the final count of vessels that sunk might increase, as deputies were still occupied responding to various emergencies more hours after the parade concluded....
Radio personality Mark Simone's stolen valor caption was debunked long ago. Nevertheless, he doubled down on the lie yesterday and the Chickenhawk in Chief thanked him for it on Sep 4, 2020 10:59:53 PM.
Well, hypothetically, it would have made a nice project for some "terrorist" sniper to take some pot shots at the boats, but apparently they were sunk by their own stupidity and incompetence. Kinda like the Trump administration*.
On the same weekend that we learned that Trumpettes can't keep a boat afloat in a lake, we should heed the words of a man that floated a passenger plane in a river:
3/9 I have long known that serving a cause greater than oneself is the highest calling, whether in the military or in civilian life. And I have always tried to be a voice of reason and to speak in a measured way.
4/9 But this situation calls for a much more direct approach. It is time to call out egregious behavior for what it is.
5/9 For the first time in American history, a president has repeatedly shown utter and vulgar contempt and disrespect for those who have served and died serving our country.
6/9 While I am not surprised, I am disgusted by the current occupant of the Oval Office. He has repeatedly and consistently shown himself to be completely unfit for and to have no respect for the office he holds.
7/9 He took an oath of office that is similar to the one that each person takes who enters the U.S. Military. But he has completely failed to uphold his oath.
Now we know why. He has admitted that he cannot comprehend the concept of service above self.
(Sets watch.) What's the over/under until @realDonaldTrump Tweets: "I never liked Captain Sully very much. I like pilots who don't crash their planes." Well said, @Captsully .
