Did Trump disparage veterans?

Trump, Pentagon set to announce plan to withdraw more US troops from Iraq

President Trump and the Pentagon plan to announce a reduction of U.S. troop levels from 5,200 to about 3,500, a senior defense official told Fox News.

The coordinated announcement is expected sometime Wednesday and the Iraqis are aware of the decision and are on board, according to the official.

He hates them.

US Army vet says he was used as a 'prop' in anti-Trump 'propaganda'

In an exclusive interview, Bobby Henline, a four-tour Iraq War veteran and lone-survivor of an IED blast in 2007, spoke out against his image being used in anti-Trump ‘propaganda’ to perpetuate a widely disputed story that the president made...

We also know that EVERYONE who has information that reflects negatively on Trump is lying… we know this because Trump ALWAYS tells the truth…even when he’s lying… or sumthin like that…

Trump wrote in “The Art of the Deal,”

“I wanted him to transform my two acres of nearly vacant property into the most active construction site in the history of the world. What the bulldozers and dump trucks did wasn’t important, I said, so long as they did a lot of it. If they got some actual work accomplished, all the better, but if necessary he should have the bulldozers dig up dirt from one side of the site and dump it on the other.”

Trump in a microcosm: make it look like stuff’s getting done; yell about how much stuff is getting done; and not really care that nothing is getting done.

Trump supporters in a microcosm: Man! Trump does EVERYTHING!!!

hence the lack of respect he shows

President Trump does not show a lack of respect for the Military, that’s what Democrat’s do and Obama did it better then any otehr Democrat President.

As retired military myself, I see the lack of respect from trump…and I and my shipmates are NOT “suckers” and “losers”.

Biden is really trying to make this stick.

He claims he flew back on C130s with caskets from A-stan and Iraq?

Fix the VA? Didn’t the President do that?

As Trump seeks to discredit Bob Woodward, he was on Fox and Friends telling self evident lies about his foreign policy, specifically with regard to assassinating Assad:

Trump Now [L] vs. Trump Then, in the second panel [R]

He’s been doing this regularly for years, of course, as in the case of the McCain stuff a week or so ago:

On the old board, I had a whole thread about this categorically different kind of Trump lie: a granular form of gaslighting (i.e., “I never did or said the thing you claim that I did or said, even though there’s objective proof and you witnessed it”). Why? I don’t let people who do this anywhere near me, if I can avoid it, let alone into the White House. What’s his problem? Doesn’t this seem like the behavior of a toxic, disordered personality?

because his supporters let him do that.

Now…why they would let him do that is, in my mind, the more interesting question.

mwevans1234 · 2020-09-15T21:07:54.909Z

Many scam emails are intentionally full of typos so that they weed out people who are less likely to figure out the scam.

This Trumpian brand of gaslighting should screen out people capable of independent thought. This nonsense serves a useful purpose, though - people who defend it are easily identifiable.

On another note, it’s nice to see your name and I hope you are well

It’s because the supporters don’t care. That is why they let him do it.

context matters.

on “loser”

Trump was being accused of calling veterans who died in war “losers”. People who were pushing it bought up McCain as an example. Trump did not call McCain a loser in that context, he called him a loser for losing to The Obamassiah and his sidekick swamp prophet. In which case he was a"loser".

Assassinate. May be a matter of how people think about it. Assassination=murder… i.e. you send in an assassin who does the job. When you kill an enemy, its not “assassination”, its just. We were fighting in Syria, Assad crossed a line. If we got him then, who’d have blamed us for it other than the Persians. Admittedly, we were not at war with them, and technically it would be no different than the assassination of Khadaffi… did the Obamssiah and his sidekick swamp prophet call that assassination? no, but it was.

What a great thread. Simple answer . . . Trump doesn’t care about anybody but . . . wait for it . . .
