Trumpism is a cult.
Quote:
When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, "We're not going to support that loser's funeral," and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. "What the F are we doing that for? Guy was a f-ing loser," the president told aides.
How many of you supported McCain during his presidential run? He spits on veterans and doesn't give a damn about serving YOUR country.
Quote:
The two men were set to visit Section 60, the 14-acre area of the cemetery that is the burial ground for those killed in America's most recent wars. Kelly's son Robert is buried in Section 60. A first lieutenant in the Marine Corps, Robert Kelly was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan. He was 29. Trump was meant, on this visit, to join John Kelly in paying respects at his son's grave, and to comfort the families of other fallen service members. But according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly's grave, turned directly to his father and said, "I don't get it. What was in it for them?" Kelly (who declined to comment for this story) initially believed, people close to him said, that Trump was making a ham-handed reference to the selflessness of America's all-volunteer force. But later he came to realize that Trump simply does not understand non-transactional life choices.
A lot of Aggies have family in the military or have lost family serving in the military, I'm one. F this president. Him and his 5 deferments for "bone spurs". Such a joke.
Sorry, don't have a clue what Trumpism is. I support him with enthusiasm because he did what he said he'd do. He's not perfect, far from it, but I support him. There are millions of others like me who support him in spite of his flaws. Until someone else steps up who is willing to take on the deeply entrenched interests in Washington DC, we will stand behind him. There is nothing cult like whatsoever in that.
I voted for McCain but he was a lukewarm conservative who sold out regularly. He didn't like President Trump and was vocal about it. If you take on somebody in the political arena, you need to be prepared for the response. I appreciate McCain's sacrifice as a POW, but that doesn't mean he's immune to criticism because of it. He was a Casper milquetoast presidential candidate who got his ass handed to him because he wasn't prepared to take the gloves off vs. Barack Obama, and as a result, our nation was set back and damaged deeply.
We are in the mess we are in right now because of the division Obama created in our nation. He purposely placed a wedge in the divide he started and then slammed it with a sledge hammer. I place the blame for all this squarely on the shoulders of John McCain; the hero who abdicated his responsibility to do what it takes to win. Again, I appreciate his sacrifice, but he was a wimp when his country needed him most.
Hell, he even compounded his major f*** up when he failed to vote against Obamacare when he had the chance out of a personal vendetta against President Trump. Personal politics over country personified. If that's not a measure of his true colors, not sure what is.
I have no clue whatsoever about the veracity of his 'quote from Section 60'. Even if he said that verbatim, if you don't know the context, or his mindset, or what he's trying to get at, it's really a baseless hit piece looking for a sucker to buy into some misguided and agenda driven narrative. Looks like the writers found one in you.
I am a US Marine Recon Man. I would pick up a rifle and follow President Trump's command in an instant if I were needed. I have ZERO doubt in his appreciation of our military or in his valuation of the ultimate sacrifice paid by tens of thousands of brothers in arms, several who died right in front of me. His attitude about and appreciation of our military is so far above the sick attitude displayed by our previous President and his wife that they aren't even in the same universe.
