So when you stir up hatred among your own supporters and one of them tries to shoot you, that is now considered bravery??

The fact that Trump accepted the award and was unable to realize how wrong it was to do so is the part that is revealing to me. As someone who is under constant criticism for the way he speaks about veterans and currently serving members of the armed forces in addition to his own blatant dodging of military service during the Vietnam War, you’d think his advisors wouldn’t have let this veteran come on stage to do this in front of the cameras. I mean for fuck sakes, they have to know this guy loves getting his ass kissed so much he’d never refuse a gift that makes him feel better about himself even if it’s a gift that violates the emoluments clause, campaign finance laws, or is just not right to accept because it’s just fucking not. A real man of the people and someone who honors the military would’ve respectfully declined the veteran’s earned award, thanked him and went on his way. Trump just couldn’t do that, quite revealing.

He was given a Purple Heart for smearing ketchup on his ear behind the podium.

This poor vet. So naive.

A vet cannot just give away one of their medals to someone else, that’s not how it works.

wow absolutely disgusting. trump should be repulsed by how evil and deranged he is to take that man’s purple heart. what an evil wicked man!
Silver-Forever9085 on
How can someone be so naive? It’s borderline stupid. Makes me sad that people compare war heroes to trump. It devalues the meaning of the Purple Heart if we let that slip through. Hope there are rules in place to forbid someone from awarding it to someone else. Especially as a campaign stunt. He should be ashamed but I think a lot of other vets will see through it and vote blue!

Can you imagine the absolute frothing outrage that would occur if this had happened with say, Obama?
Especially after the same man claimed that not getting STDs was his “personal Vietnam”?

Trump thinks this man is a sucker and a loser and the man proved it by handing him a sacred medal.

Trump calls service personnel suckers – in this instance he is 100% correct.

It’s pretty tone-deaf for Trump to accept a Purple Heart when he dodged military service just feels wrong to those who actually earned it.

This is an absolute moral tragedy. I feel terrible for the veteran exploited here, and I hope everyone can see that is what happened.
This is why we need to stop Trump. This. Right here. What type of person does this? Would you want them alone with your wife or kids? Have far are you honestly willing to trust him when you pause to think about it?
These are the types of questions that get reasonable people thinking if they aren’t already.
Some of these people love asking questions. We just need to give them the right ones.

Cults target the vulnerable, poor guy is brainwashed and needs deprogramming and probably rehab.
How and why do vets love this man. Especially Vietnam vets. Fucking disgusting. They fought and sacrificed everything meanwhile his spoiled rich ass draft dodged when he could.

My dad had a purple heart from Vietnam. I remember him having it on a plaque next to a small news article about him in his garage while I was growing up. I remember asking about it and him being extremely ashamed and evasive, I suspect because of how terrible Vietnam was, and the traumatic shit he endured and witnessed to be given that honor.
The idea that Trump is getting respect from people like this for sitting it out with “bonespurs” is fucking disgusting and I hope every single one of them wakes up and realizes that they were accusing Walz of “stealing valor” by ONLY serving in the national guard for a third of his god damned life when this crusty orange shit stain is literally having valor get stolen for him by deluded Trumpers who think getting your ear grazed by some debris is the same thing as military service.

Would be great if Trump would get court marshaled for this

This is Trump all over. Someone who had respect for the military would never have accepted it.

Did the orange anus call him a loser?

Disgusting. Trump obviously would have preferred the “check” over the Purple Heart. Why did he feel the need to make a joke about it? He seems to have a habit of making jokes at inappropriate times.

This is truly infuriating. Trump is the most venal cowardly ignorant man who has somehow conned veterans into believing he’s a brave champion for them. He can NOT be president again.

He’ll probably sell it

Trump has no respect for the military and I have zero respect for anyone in the military voting for this traitor.
How dishonourable do you have to be to vote for this scum?
J-the-Kidder on
Remember when military disparagement and mockery was an instant disqualifying trait for candidates? Oh how I miss those times.
TrevorLolz on
Trump is really dumb as a dodo at this point. He’s spiralling and looking for any validation he can. Shocking that half the US still thinks this sad old man who should be living out his remaining years cheating on the golf course is still a viable Presidential candidate. Sick country.

Well there’s that sucker and loser trump was referring to.

I guess they can’t come up with an original PR scheme to try pretend vets like them this time round [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/08/02/donald-trump-says-he-always-wanted-to-get-the-purple-heart/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/08/02/donald-trump-says-he-always-wanted-to-get-the-purple-heart/)

Not the first time: https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-purple-heart-226565
Trump hates the military
im so ashamed of how half this country idolizes this man.
This happened in 2016, too. The draft dodger’s reply was “I always wanted one of those.”
Yes, some award winners are also morons.
It was set up.
D’fuck is wrong with that vet?
Has this happened before? I seem to remember this story from several years ago.
This is fucking disgusting
