* He says stuff like that because he knows he will not get pushback from his base. He pitched that attitude with John McCain, remember him saying John was only called a hero because he got captured. He got impeached twice & his cronies cleared him both times, perhaps thinking that he would retire, big mistake..

* What’s galls me is the audience clapping & cheering “ him on. I wonder if any of those audience members have lost relatives in the war theater, apparently not. I would have loved to see the audience that way you can see these heartless idiots who call themselves patriots. Notice that none of the Republicans on the hill will say anything to defend him, or have they?

* l have had it up to here with the excuse “ that’s just the way he is” nonsense in order to avoid a confrontation with him or his base. Going way back in his term, he would break a rule & the right would say “ cut him some slack, he is not a politician & doesn’t know how things work.” Well, it he doesn’t like the rules, then don’t run for office. You don’t pick up a tennis racket for the 1st time & get to play a professional on center court, you’d only be making yourself a fool- that’s him right there.

* He went off recently about that boxer in the Olympics who he said punched like a horse & was a male, l wonder if Tyson planted one on his jaw and could claim “ their punch is equal.” The guy is an international embarrassment. I guess the Maga folks like it that way.

* You do know that he is pretty petty about stuff. I read where while abroad, he didn’t want to raise his eyes & see a ship named after McCain, if my memory serves me correctly. What kind of a crawling creature is this guy, he hates seeing wounded soldiers & made a fuss about one singing the national anthem. He seems to think the military should be like a beauty pageant, not defects, but classy through and through.

* People can see that he is in major cognitive decline but no one can or will raise it, to do so is to face the fire of the base, which are just as corrupted as him.  Then he wants to talk about Biden losing a few steps …

"they're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead."

Just shows how dumb and disrespectful Trump is. Of the 3538 Medal of Honors awarded, 618 or 18.5% of them were awarded posthumously. There have been well over 1 million military fatalities since the Medal of Honor was created in 1863 so as usual, Trump got the facts wrong on why the MOH is awarded. Many of the recipients were "in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets", but again being awarded the Medal of Honor is much more than that.

"The Medal of Honor is the United States' highest award for military valor in action. And while over 150 years have passed since its inception, the meaning behind the Medal has never tarnished. Etched within are the very values that each Recipient displayed in the moments that mattered—bravery, courage, sacrifice, integrity. A deep love of country and a desire to always do what is right."

* l wonder if he ever regrets the things he says. This is one moment where he cannot dodge & weave himself out of this pickle. He was saying that she got the MOF for making a massive donation to his election, nothing more.

* l read where he had between 60 & 70 something war dead return to Dover AF & he only attended 4 or was it 6. That’s hardly a recognition for the fallen coming from the Commander in Chief. I can’t imagine any Vet supporting the guy, but worse has happened.

Vance spoke at a VFW hall in PA and thought he was at the VFA. He got a card out of his pocket to find out where he was at. Many of the KY MAGA Kool-Aid are saying Vance was a very poor choice. And the same people are laughing about Trump sounding like Daffy Duck during the Musk interview.

More and more ads will be out calling and showing how weird the MAGA ticket is and many of the independent voters against it. Trump is trying to spin his way out of knowing about Project 2025 but again ads prove he has knowledge of it.

Trump crapped on secret ground when he said the medal he gave to his billionaire buddy's wife "is much better" than the medal the military gives to men and women that went above and beyond the call of duty putting themselves in harm's way so a diaper wearing convicted felon former president can crap on the military.
