US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Trump with another absolute belter.
Told the widow of a US soldier who died in Niger that “'Well, I guess he knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt”

Draws to mind a video clip of Obama handing over a challenge coin to the sister of a dead soldier. Contrasting methods of sympatising.

Probably didn’t hurt as much as the heel condition he used to dodge the draft though.

He managed to avoid the clap too which he said was his own Vietnam

The replies…

Trump claimed that the story was fabricated and that he had proof. The congresswoman has responded that she was with the widow at the time, and that the widow told her that Trump hadn’t even bothered to find out what the dead soldier’s name was.

It’s amazing how he can continue to be forgiven for insulting grieving military families by the pro-military conservatives. It’s almost like they don’t give a fuck about the ‘troops’ beyond the political capital they can provide.

No way. The military in the US are super heroes

At least he respects the troops enough to stand for the anthem though

Trump has the first prototype of the wall. If we send over hurls and sliothars we could get some amount of players out of it as a ball wall.

Bit inconsistent on that front as well it seems :grin:

Sssshhh don’t start that row again.
