Trump..."I haven't visited troops because I've been very busy"

Maybe this will help you.

We can read what you said. You lose.

He probably is after Hillary’s harrowing experience with the snipers.

Here it is

The only desperation here is your own. Own it, and quit whining.

No desperation-just facts, and they’re on my side. I didn’t address you a single time in that post, but you’re trying to make it about you.

Not everything in life is about you.

WildRose · 2018-10-19T11:21:22.437Z

You haven;'t produced a single fact yet and can;t refute any of those I’ve already provided.

WildRose:

I can’t wait for his first overseas visit to the troops when you’ll all find yet another reason to spew even more of the same.

I would expect the “spewing even more of the same” to come from your direction, as you have said big visits like that are a nuisance…right?

You have provided no facts. You assumed I was talking about you, when I made very clear in that post I was not referring to you.

The nearest Sylvan should be able to explain it better than I can.

I will be equally critical of his doing so as I have the previous presidents regardless of party if/when he makes them.

WildRose:

a ■■■■■■■ coward. Scared old man. He’s been a coward his entire life. But that’s just fine, according to his toadies, because they’re all living vicariously through him.

The constant stream of hate and hypocrisy is epic. All you folks could do for more than a decade was bitch and whine when Bush visited the troops overseas and now since Trump hasn’t we have to listen to yet another endless screed of hate and hypocrisy directed at him.

Pathetic and utterly predicable.

I can’t wait for his first overseas visit to the troops when you’ll all find yet another reason to spew even more of the same.

I never once complained when Bush visited the troops. Of course I was one of the troops he sent to Iraq for no reason.

Speaking of hypocrisy, you people supported that invasion. You all called people who opposed it unAmerican and unpatriotic. Then when it was proven to be a fiasco, you all went silent or claimed you were against it the whole time. That’s hypocrisy. ■■■■■■■ own it.

Critical of Trump.

I don’t know why he thinks your post was about him. I just don’t see it.

Truth be told, the “troops” don’t want a presidential visit. No one likes those dog and pony shows, it gets in the way of doing the mission.

How many presidential visits did you receive while you were deployed?

Yes - it was ALWAYS a stunt or to brag about things they did for him.

More complaining about the speck in others’ eyes while ignoring the plank in yours. The irony that you can defend Trump at every opportunity while having the audacity to accuse Obama of bragging. Good little Trumpster.

WildRose:

When the troops start complaining about it I’ll listen.

There’s nothing that’s a bigger pain in the ass than having high level dignitaries show up on base.

The only benefit is that we would usually get steak and sometimes with a Presidential visit we might even get lobster and shrimp to go along with it.

Everything else associated with those visits did nothing but add to the tension and stress on post/base and and usually doubled our work load.

There’s a Trumpslanation for EVERYTHING.

I have to agree with WR on this one. VIP visits are a PITA for rank-and-file military. That’s why Trump’s parade “to honor the military” is such a joke. Those things take a lot of prep and practice, most likely outside normal working hours, and time away from family, just to parade in front of a draft dodging chickenhawk to juice his already-inflated self esteem and no doubt give Mr. Toad some exercise.

Wives and girlfriends with t-shirts purchases. OMG.

I have 2 drawers full of them - none I bought myself. They say things like:

“Surely Not Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting”

“Sarcasm Mode: On”

People comment on them all the time and I usually have no idea what they are talking about because I don’t look at them before I put them on.

Grimalken · 2018-10-19T20:31:28.386Z

Deployed overseas? None that i remember.

A parade is a bit different that a visit.

True dat. But in either case, Trump has no interest in doing anything for the troops unless it does something for him personally. Because he’s a sociopath.

Can’t disagree with that.

You squalled apically over the carrier landing and we both know it.
