I've studied Trump intently since 2015. I was neutral to begin with. The swing was gradual but undeniable. I saw how he empathised with people who were in pain/suffering. I vividly remember a man talking to him and off camera he was obviously told to wind up. He flipped his hand dismissively and continued to listen until the man was finished talking. That convinced me. He loves America and Americans.
I’m a 20 year veteran. Fought in two wars. Not that it matters.
What does matter is that the Democrats have hated the military since the early 60s. Remember it was the Obama / Hiden-Biden administration that accused the military of murdering civilians and “air raiding villages”.
Once again the left is accusing Trump of something they’ve actually done.
And this isn’t just a smear job - it’s a hit piece to go after one of Trump’s strongest bases. The military. Think about that. The Democrats are so sick that they want to undermine the credibility of the Commander in Chief and the entire military.
But that’s nothing new. When we were fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq these same decrepit animals were telling the American public that the war was already lost.
These people are animals. They have no dignity and certainly don’t care about the military.
Lucky for them we’re not buying their lies and we will re-elect Trump in November.
Chewed the same dirt. It does matter. Never think that it doesn't.
Seeing the above photos has some light Onion Chopping Duty going on over here. We will never forget those who remember our sacrifices, and we're always grateful. Nor will we forget those who view us with disdain, redundancy, and disposability. All Gave Some, and Some Gave All.
DJT has always shown the most tremendous respect, and it's easily forgotten that he was in fact JROTC, having spent 5 years in the New York Military Academy for his High School years. Respect for Military Service is deeply ingrained into him.
And even photos aside, I’ve seen the videos of him with veterans. It can’t be faked. You can spot fake smiles almost every time, and frankly put, he’s not that great of an actor.
Nope. Trump is a “what you see is what you get” person. I wish more people were like him. I’m tired of having to test and manipulate people to find out their true colors. I respect honesty more than anything. Own your mistakes and improve on them, and you will forever have my respect. Lie and deceive and subvert responsibility for your shit, and I will find out soon enough what a piece of shit you are. Trump is the exact same way.
Look in the two photos where he's next to the Veterans in wheelchairs
Notice also how he's crouching down, so as to be at the same level as the man. It's this same empathy which has led him to accomplish so much for veterans, minorities, and disadvantaged citizens.
Concerning the "losers" comment : Trump critizes Generals at the top but never the soldiers. The Atlantic took a word that he uses for specific people and generalized it to all the troops just to break up his good relationship with them and help Biden. In reality Trump is angry at the leaders for lying to the soldiers and all Americans about their true objective and therefor not giving a path to victory. It's extremely hard to admit, but the troops that died in Iraq didn't do it for "democracy". When the Iraqi government voted some months ago to push the USA out, the Pentagon went AGAINST democracy and refused to accept the vote. I believe the Iraq war was to setup a base there and later invade Iran. That fits the paranoia of Israel. I'm Canadian and I'm proud that we refused to go in Iraq. Best decision ever.
My favorite is the one with the guy who had both his arms blown off, so Trump bends down and connects physically with him by touching his face. Still makes me cry just thinking about it
Sorry, but this was by far THE DUMBEST "attack" by the Democrats. Everyone knows the man is pro-military. Does anybody really believe this crap?? (Yes. I know there are some idiots who do.)
Oh and I almost forgot about the last picture with a real live Pepe in it. Love it! Ha!
they forgot that this kind of bullshit only works on Reddit to get subs banned. in the real world, people have been mostly inoculated to their shit over the last 4 years
Yeah Pepe soldier Photo which was taken on a surprise visit to Iraq I believe deserves nomination for photo of the year at Nat Geo you can see the appreciation of POTUS on their faces his for them and the Pepe smirk on a black soldier’s face no less... priceless
It's pure desperation, their internal polls are a trash fire and they need something they can throw at Trump, even if it doesn't make any sense whatsoever like this bullshit fake news about him denigrating dead and wounded veterans. They've even been trying to pretend that Trump wants to defund the police. They'll lie about anything and everything no matter how stupid it is and just hide behind "anonymous sources".
It’s just fine if he called McCain a loser, because he was one. How the hell do you lose to the singular worst president in US history? By being John McCain or Mittens that’s how.
I love how all my liberal friends who have hated FOX News for years and continuously do so are now jizzing themselves over Jennifer Griffin's report.
Great. Two anonymous sources said to her what the four (possibly two of the same) said to the Atlantic. While numerous others, INCLUDING JOHN BOLTON, denied it. Unless the anonymous sources are Melania Trump, Donald Trump, or a Secret Service member who is attached at the hip to POTUS, I'm not buying it.
It just shows the left will jump on anything that will be critical of President Trump, no matter who says it, but when someone who normally disagrees with him contradicts their points, they go "they're wrong" and froth at the mouth.
Enlistedmen are generally not fans of artifice and pretense. They're straightforward.
The ones who are graced with the opportunity to interact with the Commander in Chief are generally conscientious, dedicated, and self-sacrificing as well.
They're a natural fit for the first President to speak his mind in a generation.
If you sat every President down at their own table in a chow hall, Donald Trump's would be as full as George Washington's (standing room only, and precious little of that left).
I recently read an article about a Green Beret whose wife was killed by an IED while she was serving in Syria. Ill cut and paste it here so you dont have to give NBC clicks. (now that i've pasted it, i just realized that clicks may get the guy some cash, so click the link plz)
**Trump came to Dover after my wife was killed fighting ISIS. He absolutely respects our service.
I'd never met a president before Donald Trump. His empathy and thoughtfulness on one of the worst days of my life won my gratitude.
**
By Joe Kent, Gold Star husband and a retired Army officer
“Hey, Joe,” a quiet but familiar voice said to me from the doorway of a small room with plush furniture. The room was meant to provide as much comfort as possible for the families of military members on the worst day of their life: the day the remains of their loved ones are returned to them at Dover Air Force Base.
I had been alone in the room for only a few minutes and was exhausted but restless; the previous three days felt like three years and three minutes all at once, because so much had been taken from my family so quickly and irrevocably that I felt like I was back at war and had just gotten attacked, but unlike in war, I couldn’t fight back.
That voice from the doorway, though, was familiar because it belonged to a man I had seen on television countless times: President Donald Trump. As he approached me, he extended his right hand to shake mine, placed his left hand on my shoulder, looked me in my eyes and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss. Shannon was an amazing woman and warrior.”
I still have no idea what exactly I said in response. The days after my wife, Shannon Kent, was killed by a suicide bomber during a mission to fight ISIS in Syria in January 2019 had been such a blur and, anyway, I’d never met a president before.
But (I am told) I thanked President Trump, and I remember he held eye contact with me. And in his eyes, I could see — unmistakably — the same pain I’d seen in the eyes of other senior leaders who ultimately bear the responsibility for sending men and women to their deaths in combat.
As we unclasped our hands, the president said to me, “Shannon was the real deal, we are lucky to have people like her willing to go out there and face evil for us.” He kept his arm on my shoulder.
Together, as we waited for the plane that would bring Shannon home, we spent another 20 minutes talking about my wife, our children and what an amazing mother, wife and soldier she was. It was clear to me that President Trump truly cared — not just that Shannon and three others had been killed in Syria, but about who Shannon and the three others were as people.
Then the president did something that I did not expect: He asked me what I thought about Syria and what we were doing there. He talked to me — a Green Beret and a combat veteran, not some expert at the Pentagon or a think tank — about the wisdom leaving troops in harm's way once ISIS’ territorial caliphate had been destroyed. It was clear to me that he was deeply conflicted about whether staying in Syria was worth the lives lost — Shannon and her three colleagues — on that day in January.
A big part of Donald Trump's showmanship is his connection with and understanding of individual stories. Everyone who has talked to him as a human being (not an adversary) feels he genuinely cares about theirs. It's an incredible talent.
Anybody who even entertains this stupid new accusation is retardedddddd! I remember when they freaked when trump wanted to have a military parade!! “He’s literally Hitler!” They seems to forget but we don’t!
Part of me is pleased that it ends on a high note.
Another part of me is immeasurably disappointed it doesn't bring up Benghazi as proof of the Democrat's (and SoB's) Hatred.
What's that saying about projection again...
As soon as I saw the headlines saying Trumperino allegedly said horrible things of vets and service members I knew it reeked of bullshit due to how the MSM hops on any morsel of a mistake, the ability to misquote or take out of context and immediately weaponizes it
Of course it was a lie. Not only has he never publicly disparaged the military, he tends to speak reverently of them. This is just one facet of a CIA style effort to rig an election - the kind of thing they usually do in foreign countries.
I wouldn't mind having a conversation with Robert Heinlein about this, as I seriously doubt that Trump qualifies under the Terran Federation's enfranchisement rules (Starship Troopers' "Service Guarantees Citizenship" thing.) And to be clear, I think it's Heinlein who fucked up, not Trump.
Also, black guy in the lower left corner of the lower right pane looks like he's struggling with Democrat programming like early redpilling phase of Billy.
The left is afraid, that's why they're going after Trump's base. It's the most difficult possible group of people to carve away from the President, they wouldn't be doing this if they weren't desperate.
If I had to guess, they've got some internal polling saying that the riots have done major damage to the Democrat brand, and their only hope of salvaging a wipe-out this election is to do similar damage to Trump's brand.
These pictures are so touching. There is so much genuine affection and love in these pictures. But the really sad part is that we all know that these amazing soldiers are being exploited and put in harms way to line the pockets of some big wigs - many of whom we will never even know who they are. These people are so cruel.
This whole "Trump thinks vets are losers" thing is a God damn distraction from something.
They know the riots are hurting their poll numbers (Dems) so they essentially make a real life slide thread so people would forget and we would focus our energy on trying to correct this record.
It's all bullshit. The Dems are losing and they know it.
they're just slandering the f**k out of every aspect of our country. they just now said the marines are white supremacists yada yada blah blah same racist hate speech. to the marines. these people should be jailed after this shit. and by the way china, globalists, whoever the f it is, you're WAY too obvious with this shit

This is just another attempt from the deep state to smear Trump! But they are soon out of options those beta scumbags.
I wanted to down dog you and say "cover!"
But then you said "Fuck liberal commies." and my heart grew 45 sizes.
Edit: the other guy, then you said fuck liberal commies and another angel got it's wings.
I'm not a smart man.
"...you said fuck liberal commies and another angel got it's wings." That so needs to be a meme! XD
Gaslighting at its finest.
Trumps ray of sunlight is a better source of vitamin D than the actual sunlight

It does matter. It may sound like a cliche, but thank you for your service!
Chewed the same dirt. It does matter. Never think that it doesn't.

Salute
Haha thank you! The military gave me far more than I ever gave to them.
And even photos aside, I’ve seen the videos of him with veterans. It can’t be faked. You can spot fake smiles almost every time, and frankly put, he’s not that great of an actor.
Nope. Trump is a “what you see is what you get” person. I wish more people were like him. I’m tired of having to test and manipulate people to find out their true colors.

AND THEY GAVE ME ANOTHER DISEASE
What needs to be included, that wholesome picture of Trump putting back on a marine’s hat after it was blown off by the wind.
My favorite is the one with the guy who had both his arms blown off, so Trump bends down and connects physically with him by touching his face. Still makes me cry just thinking about it
That's my favorite too. I expected to see it here, but all these are great.
I know. I’ve never been more proud to be an american than with Trump as president. He embodies the American Dream
Here you go:
"https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/01/24/20/308A803900000578-0-image-a-19_1453668213671.jpg"
That’s the one. Dude looks like Trump just gave him his arms back. God bless both of those men!
Sorry, but this was by far THE DUMBEST "attack" by the Democrats. Everyone knows the man is pro-military. Does anybody really believe this crap?? (Yes. I know there are some idiots who do.) Oh and I almost forgot about the last picture with a real live Pepe in it. Love it! Ha!
Seems to me the only people who believe this crap are fellow travelers who are already voting Biden.
they forgot that this kind of bullshit only works on Reddit to get subs banned. in the real world, people have been mostly inoculated to their shit over the last 4 years
Yeah Pepe soldier Photo which was taken on a surprise visit to Iraq I believe deserves nomination for photo of the year at Nat Geo you can see the appreciation of POTUS on their faces his for them and the Pepe smirk on a black soldier’s face no less... priceless
Actually, I am glad because now we can list everything he has done. The list is long. Pay raises, can see a private doctor. Fire crappy VA workers.
It's pure desperation, their internal polls are a trash fire and they need something they can throw at Trump, even if it doesn't make any sense whatsoever like this bullshit fake news about him denigrating dead and wounded veterans. They've even been trying to pretend that Trump wants to defund the police. They'll lie about anything and everything no matter how stupid it is and just hide behind "anonymous sources".
cnn is cancer
Fix hasn’t been any better.
Bolton even said it didn’t happen. Not only did this lie come out, but the Biden campaign had a video ad released shortly after. It’s all a scam
Bolton wasn't stupid enough to be the guy going on the record with this lie.
My question is: what does this distract us from?
Talking about Pelosi at the salon over Labor day
I think they’re just throwing ideas at the wall and seeing if it will sway anyone tbh.
They age trying to get votes from specific high-pro-Trump demographics.
"just throwing shit at the wall"
You're welcome. I am an anal retentive proofreader. :)
You missed age -> are in the 2nd sentence!
I do tons of proofing but clearly not my own stuff lol
...it distracts us from the fact that democrats are the real enemies, the threat domestic, and need to be destroyed.
This is one theory:
Looking forward to the day when the leftist narrative doesn’t control our daily discussions.
Time for us to go on the offensive so bullshit like this isn’t even a speed bump in the road.
Why do we even have to prove Trump's love for the military?
What's next from fake news? Trump hates the economy?
Trump loves communism?
Obvious lie is obvious.
It's audacious, I'll give them that.
It's the exact opposite of the truth. Audacious is right.
It’s just fine if he called McCain a loser, because he was one. How the hell do you lose to the singular worst president in US history? By being John McCain or Mittens that’s how.
^This. Exactly.
Remember on thanksgiving DAY he literally went to the Middle East to celebrate with our troops?
I love how all my liberal friends who have hated FOX News for years and continuously do so are now jizzing themselves over Jennifer Griffin's report.
Great. Two anonymous sources said to her what the four (possibly two of the same) said to the Atlantic. While numerous others, INCLUDING JOHN BOLTON, denied it.

It just shows the left will jump on anything that will be critical of President Trump, no matter who says it, but when someone who normally disagrees with him contradicts their points, they go "they're wrong" and froth at the mouth.
Anonymous sources just now remember? Balderdash.
They make real critics look good. Womp womp.
Its simple projection. "Suckers and Losers" is truly what the left thinks of members of the military.
Exactly. They just take what they think - remember John Kerry's Iraq comments - and project it on to our guy.
Nobody believes it. They don't even believe it. It's just a hammer that they are using in desperation.
This brings a patriotic tear to my eye. We have a president who loves this country. God bless
Seriously, why is no one else noticing this. It's spot on.
That black dude on the bottom right pic in the front is like "nobody is ever gonna believe this shit"
He seems most happy around military people.

I wonder how many vets and serviceman are mad at the media for spreading division through blatant lies.
“The Atlantic” should face legal consequences for publishing their garbage.
This isn't even a thing for me. It's so ridiculous. I didn't even pause to question the authenticity.
Why are we even still talking about this? The more it needs to be 'denied' the more credence you're giving these outright lies.
Anybody who even entertains this stupid new accusation is retardedddddd! I remember when they freaked when trump wanted to have a military parade!! “He’s literally Hitler!” They seems to forget but we don’t!
The Atlantic must use the same playbook Spez is using.
Attack The Don with made up bullshit about him or his supporters disparaging a group known for their strong support of the president.
Reddit quarantines T_D due to “threats against police” and The Atlantic claims Trump insulted Veterans.
They know who his strongest supporters are and they went straight after them
Next hit piece will claim Trump called rural white Americans racists.
Best POTUS 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💕💕💕💯💯💯👈

Nobody believes it. It's the most pathetic political attack on Trump to date. Shows how desperate the commies are.
This terribly fake story in the fake news wasn't made for anybody to believe. It was made to turn our attention away from the riots.
Using that rhetoric is the dumbest shit. They'd be much better off saying he loves the troops.
The Democrats can't beat President Trump on his policies and actions, so now they're trying to split his voters (in swing states). #DivideAndConquer
The fakest of news.
Does anyone actually believe the bullshit stories?
The left does.
These pictures are so touching. There is so much genuine affection and love in these pictures. But the really sad part is that we all know that these amazing soldiers are being exploited and put in harms way to line the pockets of some big wigs - many of whom we will never even know who they are. These people are so cruel.
Good job! bottom left is awesome!
Yep, he clearly does.
On top of that, their claim is simply nonsensical
Surprise!!!! They make shit up. That is all they got.
This whole "Trump thinks vets are losers" thing is a God damn distraction from something.
They know the riots are hurting their poll numbers (Dems) so they essentially make a real life slide thread so people would forget and we would focus our energy on trying to correct this record.
It's all bullshit. The Dems are losing and they know it.
Any sane person knows this is bullshit. Dems are desperate, it's pathetic.
they're just slandering the f**k out of every aspect of our country. they just now said the marines are white supremacists yada yada blah blah same racist hate speech. to the marines. these people should be jailed after this shit. and by the way china, globalists, whoever the f it is, you're WAY too obvious with this shit
