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

[Hoodat]

Shameful bullshit against something sacred.
He should know better.

The only thing more shameful is hearing people defend it.

[LMAO]

What the headline claims and what Trump said are two different things.

There is a bit of a mismatch between the two but he should have just stopped after his well wish for those who sacrificed

True enough.

[LMAO]

I think this 100 year old veteran would agree with and appreciate President Trump.:

Unless I missed something, he never mentions Trump

[GtHawk]

The only thing you missed(probably not) was someone trying to link Trump to an actual hero, not just embarrassing but shameful

[corbe]

   I'd bet Don Jr originally posted that vile on Trump Social.

[DCPatriot]

True enough.

********************************************************

President Trump's unedited words with proper punctuation (compared to that in the meme)

"Happy Memorial Day to all...but especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country they love.

And to those in line of a very different, but equally dangerous fire (where you could give the ultimate sacrifice) stopping the threats of the terrorists, misfits and lunatic thugs who are working feverishly from within to overturn and destroy our once-great country

...which has never been in greater peril than it is right now??

We must stop the Communists, Marxists and Fascist 'Pigs" at every turn and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

@Right_in_Virginia

For those of you who don't know,that medal on top of the other medals on his uniform is a Silver Star,which is an "Industrial Strength hero badge".

The US military does NOT hand these out casually. Trust me on this one.

[DCPatriot]

I understand President Trump's rage.

Seeing our nation overrun & destroyed by the Anti-Christ O*ama.

Willing crawl over broken glass to vote for him in 2024!

The words he chose are disconcerting because he's speaking of "Antifa" (Fascist Pigs) among the "Communists, Marxists..."

*******************************

Serious question...

In the event of an ongoing coup, where the DOJ and all the intelligence agencies have been politically corrupted...

What remedies are available to regain control of said Departments?

There HAS to be something!!

@DCPatriot

I don't have a problem with the message overall. But, I think he could have honored the fallen and left it there.

@bigheadfred

I totally agree. 

But the fact remains here....he NEVER compared himself or any active-duty military!

And it's damned embarrassing that it has to be pointed out to fellow GOP and INDY members/regulars on the forum.

Everybody needs to Grow.T.F.U.

Who is "we" in the statement above, @DCPatriot - i.e. the ones he refers to with his campaign slogan?

Always remember Trump is a Pu$$y.  The guy has never been in fight in his life.  If he ever stood up to a "Corn Pop" he would have told us.

@Wingnut

So what?

How many valor awards have YOU received?

I am not going to vote for him to be a combat commander. I am going to vote for him in the hope that he stands up to the left,both those in the RNC as well as those in the DNC.

July 18, 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump said this about John McCain: “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

As much as I disliked McCain, that was a freaking low blow to say. Bone Spur Trump is just a "Me Me Me" creep.

There is a slew of military folks that served that to me became traitors... (Kerry (in some fashion) and McCain).... For years there was that anti-war lady Cindy Sheehan that traveled the nation with a ex-Marine (Jimmy Massey) who told lie after lie by her side.

Thanks for your service Pete, but being in the military doesn't mean crap anymore (you say it yourself, when you said not going to vote for him to be a combat commander), it is still individual character that matters and draft dodging/cheating on your wives is fruit to judge. It is nice to have someone with some military background in case of war beyond what both Kerry and Clinton did...

He had four years to stand up to the left.  They ran circles around him.  His only victories?  Tax cuts which expire in a couple of years.  A few miles of fencing, overwhelmed by millions of illegals.  Court appointments which are being offset by Joe Biden's nominees, and will be rendered irrelevant in Biden's second term.

That much is true. IF that hadn't been captured,he would only  be remembered for setting a carrier deck on fire and risk losing the  carrier.

I like people who weren’t captured.”

THAT was a damn-fool thing for anyone to say. I MUCH prefer people that were captured over people that were killed,and let's face it,if you were shot down over Hanoi,what were you going to do,take out your trusty 6-shot 38 special and fight off the NVA in their home town?

As much as I disliked McCain, that was a freaking low blow to say.

I agree.

Bone Spur Trump is just a "Me Me Me" creep.

And DeSantis and every  other career national politician isn't?

 being in the military doesn't mean crap anymore (you say it yourself, when you said not going to vote for him to be a combat commander), it is still individual character that matters and draft dodging/cheating on your wives is fruit to judge.

Draft dodging is one thing,and Trump is not guilty of draft-dodging,no  matter how  much  you  want it to be true.

As for character,and this applies to them ALL,not just Trump,you can NOT be a functioning president and have "clean hands". It just is not possible. The "character" comes in when a President is strong enough to do or say something that  NEEDS to be done or said,even IF he disagrees with it on moral grounds. Being a President is not about being a Saint. It is about protected and defending America and Americans to the best of your ability.

And to be honest,I SUSPECT this is why more than a few of the men we have wanted to run in the past have refused to run. They know what would be required of them,and they are not willing to do that.

The tax cuts he got from Paul Ryan.  The judicial appointments he got from Mitch McConnell.  The fence?  With a Republican House and Republican Senate, he couldn't manage to find a way to build anything even remotely representing what he promised.  With a four-year record of failing to deliver, there is no sane reason to expect anything different the next time around, especially considering that his rhetoric has shifted even further to the left from where it was in 2016.

Trump is old news.  A hack. A loser. 

[The_Reader_David]

What fight against the deep state?

Exactly.  If Trump was worth anything, he'd have cleaned house at the FBI, CIA and NSA.  If he were really in a fight against the deep state, he'd have pardoned Snowden and directed the prosecution of Assange to be stopped.  (Remember, Snowden wanted to end up in exile in Ecuador, not Russia.  He only got stranded in Russia because the Obama administration invalidated his passport while in transit, stranding him in the Moscow airport.  Of course, Putin took the propaganda coup and offered him asylum.  And which of you, if you found yourself stuck, probably for life, in another country because of the American government's animus against you, would not take an offer of dual citizenship?)

I agree with that.  The Democrats running the war at the time gave him an out.  He took it.  Can't fault him for that.  That's simply how they did things.  Affluence bought you advantages.  That's how they've operated since 1836.
