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

 

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.

Very.  

 

Well, more of you posting it as pretend outrage of Trump against the military actually.  Nearly priceless.

It is clear that the main source is Mattis, others where identified as currently inside DOD

Why direct this ridicule at me for posting? What pretend outrage?

It's clear that some people believe anything said against Trump, even without proof.  TDS is actually a real thing.  Will probably be added to the Journal of Psychological Medicine soon.

You realize that Trump is pro-military, right?  Military COLA raises have gotten much better since Obama left office.  As has the defense budget, as it should.

Of course you did.  Seems my post was more accurate than I intended it to be.

This Jeffrey Goldberg?

 

 

.. Glenn was right! 

 

And this is largely the same type of anonymously sourced trash that just recycles Goldberg's McCain fellating. 

 

Congrats OP.

For a fun exercise, search Twitter for "goldberg" "trump", look at the checkmarks with the top tweets, check some profiles slide down for a few pages on their feed, you'll notice the same systematic methodology of bullhorning each other with invented outrage. 

 

Trump definitely upsets the right people.

I'll just put this here, though of course we are still 2 months out:

President Trump’s public opinion rating has dropped among active-duty service members in a recent poll, with many worried about issues ranging from his desire to use active-duty military to quell social unrest to pulling U.S. troops out of Germany.

A Military Times/Syracuse University poll of 1,018 active-duty troops, released Aug. 31 and conducted prior to the August conventions, reveals that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden edges out Trump among members of the military, 41.3% to 37.4%.

Nearly half of the respondents said they view Trump unfavorably, with 49.9% compared to 38% favorable.

At the start of Trump’s presidency, only 37% of service members viewed Trump unfavorably, while 46% viewed him favorably. The numbers are still far above military support for former President Barack Obama, who held a 36% favorable and 52% unfavorable rating with troops, according to Military Times polling in conjunction with Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families.

Well, it's apparent that posting anything controversial about the President triggers arbitrary responses. Lesson learned, only Trump rainbows and unicorns to keep everyone here pacified.
