Donald Trump says his fight against deep state ‘equally dangerous’ to what soldiers face

by Sarah Bedford, Investigative Reporter

Former President Donald Trump’s Memorial Day message ruffled feathers when he compared his own plight to soldiers “who gave the ultimate sacrifice.”

Posting on his Truth Social network in an all-caps screed, Trump lauded those in the “equally dangerous fire” of “stopping the threats of the terrorists, misfits and lunatic thugs who are working feverishly from within to overturn and destroy our once great nation.”

The message quickly drew criticism on social media for the comparison of his political situation with the tragedies of service members who have died.

Trump has a history of making controversial comments about veterans who have, throughout his political career, landed him in hot water.

They should rename his website 'Trump Social'; it has nothing to do with the TRUTH.

You do make a very valid point.

............And there's the stupid! I understand that anyone that runs for high office, especially the Presidency is going to have a huge ego but Trump is something else entirely, oh yeah fighting the deep state(debatable) is just as dangerous with a potential for death as our enlisted in war time

Well, I do think he said that not getting a VD was like fighting in a war.

Shameful words... Denigrating the oath and cheapening the valor of our soldiers, writ in blood.

And on Memorial Day of all days.

How anyone can forgive that is beyond me.
What a POS.

How is this better than Shortbus Joe's constantly inserting himself into every story?

Indeed, it's worse - Because he ought to know better. How many DEFCONs heard those words? Why would any of them vote for him now?

Just awful... Shameful.

Why does it matter what threat he named? He said his fight was equally dangerous and that is absurd and to us Veterans insulting.

He's the epitome of a trash-talking fake tough guy.

Bullshit...this sounds like something Biden would say...

Coming from someone who has never served.

While his high profile has no doubt pissed off folks on the Left who would drool over the prospects of taking him put, whether like the CIA got Kennedy or with a random IED, the reality is that there is no evidence of either being employed. It has been a war of lawyers and "bombshell" revelations which either were not fused, or contained nothing when examined, just a shell of fabrications.

Descending to that level of communications does nothing to endear the candidate to me. Nothing at all.

Of our last five presidents three avoided completely on deferment, one was born(in Kenya) to late for a draft and one stayed home in the National Guard flying a fighter to defend American shores(

) but at least he was in uniform albeit with daddy's assistance.

Clinton ever the POS lied about how he got out of service. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1992/02/13/clinton-releases-69-letter-on-his-draft-deferment/54942e4e-19c0-4cfd-92f0-6f63c3041c1c/

Obama born in 1961...so they claim.

Trump had bone spurs for his deferments, or did he, seems the consensus is no...https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/26/us/politics/trump-vietnam-draft-exemption.html

Biden who always talks about what a great athlete he was couldn't go because of asthma...five deferments! https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2008/08/31/deferments_asthma_kept_biden_out_of_vietnam.html

Too bad the authors of our Constitution didn't require military service as a requirement to be CinC...but I realize that's just be...

Juneteenth and Father's day coincide. So we should get a twofer.

He actually had a pretty good track record with Veterans and active duty troops, but this is a step over the line.

I'm sure his non VA surgery helped him stepover the line.

You know Smokes , Forgetting Trumpoy I wonder why Dwight Eisenhower never really protected the veterans. Shit, the dude could have done some good. But i'm sure this is another topic question for another time..

And THIS Veteran felt my vote was earned in 2020 by Trump, but he's gone over the line too many damn times since losing the election. This isn't the first batshit crazy remark he's said or typed. I've had it with him.
