Trump insults our war dead...again

[willdup]

According to Trump, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a higher honor than the Medal of Honor.

“Because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman.”

Give enough money (in the case, $138m) to his campaign, and in Trump's eyes you are a greater patriot than those awarded the MOH.

Can we finally acknowledge that John Kelly was telling the truth regarding Trump's comments about our war dead?

I'll look forward to y'all explaining how he didn't actually mean what he said, or it's taken out of context, or he was joking (because the MOH is such a funny topic), or Tim Walz only served 24 years. This will be rich.

Good grief man. You can't reason that Trump is saying it's better to have the MoF because it doesn't require war injuries or death?

 

[LRA Dawg]

They should just rename the MOF award to the medal of big donors award. Both parties have made it an absolute joke, like everything else in presidential politics.

Yes... captain von bone spurs, the draft dodger, who insults our wounded and dead soldiers and diminishes the value of the medal of honor in favor of a damn civilian award because civilians aren't "shot up by bullets", has more respect for the military than the guy who...checks notes....had a son who put on the uniform. Clear choice for sure...

We weren't leaving Afghanistan unscathed. I fear the damage would have been worse with trump at the helm given his propensity to NOT LISTEN TO ADVISORS. We have seen that on display recently.

If that's what he meant, let's just be honest about it.

The video with audio is posted in the OP.

The OP is not truthful.

There's no quote in the video where Trump says "the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a higher honor than the Medal of Honor".

As a matter of fact, he clearly says the MoF is the highest civilian honor which is the civilian "equivalent" version of the MoH.

So for the OP to blatantly ignore a specific word that clarifies intent to make an assumption of the worst is pretty dishonest.

Trump saying the MoF is "better" was qualified with his comparison of how soldiers have to make great sacrifices to get the MoH while Miriam gets the MoF for being "a healthy beautiful woman".

Reading comprehension has been a problem in US schools for a long time, but listening skills might be even worse. That or we just have too many dishonest people around.

I'll go with the latter since there's also no quote or inference where Trump says "you are a greater patriot than those awarded the MOH".

Why do folks deal in lies?

Let's be honest here. It's just a weird thing to say. I don't even care if he meant exactly what you're saying. It's just not something that most would even think about doing. It's weird.

It's similar to his Hannibal Lecter, sharks and battery boats and Gettysburg Address stuff.

As Old GWB said at DT's inaugural, "That was some weird s***."

Ok, I don’t agree with your premise, but if you’re going to hold yourself out as the only Americans that care about the military, you better not just say soldiers. They are soldiers, they are marines, they are airmen, and they are sailors. And they would be the first to tell you that.

What's weird is how so many liberals keep calling everything "weird". I guess "bizarre" is played out so they needed a new parrot term.

I mean people say all kinds of things. There's no obligation to be a perfect orator in our society. I wouldn't even fault someone for starting a conversation to debate what Trump meant. The problem is that OP jumped straight to misrepresentation and that's a no-no if you seek intelligent discussion.

Of course the goal was likely to cast Trump in a negative light, not to discuss what he meant. OP even welcomed the challenge of how someone would defend Trump. Well I obliged.

Since video evidence clearly isn't sufficient, here is the transcript of the video.

"I watch Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House. When we gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom… It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor— it’s actually much better because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman.

See above. He literally said, "it's actually much better". Those are his words, and he then explains why it's better.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is in no way equal to the MOH. Being a casino billionaire, talk radio bloviator (Rush Limbaugh), or a football coach (Trump tried to give it to Belichick, who refused it) is in no way an equivalent honor to winning the MOH. Give me a break.

Next, y'all can explain to us how Trump didn't actually say this.

I am sure people don’t find this insulting at all. The Kamala/biden administration hard at work for the military. They are so supportive. If this were Trump, it would have been the end of him. But because Biden/harris get the boot lickin from the media the only place this video was aired was on cspan. I guess this isn’t considered news unless trump does it.

Trump is the one who made the deal with the Taliban that promised full withdrawal by May 1st, 2021 and directly resulted in the release of 5000 hardened Taliban fighters, 4600 of whom were released by August 2020 and one of whom is currently leading the Taliban and the country.

We dont like it, what would you like us to do? You act like we havent been bombarded by the human gaffe machine known as Joe Biden for the past 3.5 years. All of these people are morons. How about this gem, speaking of dishonoring the military:

President Joe Biden told Crow that his service in combat didn't mean anything close to Beau's non-combat Iraq experience five years after the invasion. Putting aside that minor detail, what Biden did was tell an actual combat veteran that the Bronze Star he received for actions taken in the heat of battle didn't matter or did not amount to much of anything compared to Beau's. As a combat veteran myself, this is both infuriating and disgraceful. But for more reasons than you think.

When Biden told Crow that his medal wasn't worth the same as his son's, it obviously was something you just do not do. As a civilian, telling any veteran that any medal he or she may have doesn't mean anything compared to somebody else's is something you just don't do. It's like me telling two professional hockey players that their stats aren't as good as the other when I haven't played a minute of any level of hockey, let alone professional.
However, what really grinds my gears is that President Biden thinks that his son's Bronze Star and Crow's are, at the very least, equal when they are not. A very common misconception of civilians and military members alike is that the Bronze Star medal is a combat award only. This means that the Bronze Star can only be awarded for valorous actions on the battlefield. However, that is not true. The Bronze Star Medal actually may be awarded to individuals "who, while serving in any capacity with the Armed Forces of the United States in a combat theater, distinguish themselves by heroism, outstanding achievement, or by meritorious service not involving aerial flight."

And Biden was just as stupid to not see the deal and change it and got 13 Marines killed in the process. Get real dude, this is Bidens baby and it was the beginning of the end for him.

I think the defense was already handled in the thread will. No need. Just pointing out the rampant hypocrisy in your posts. And by democrats in general. The same Whoopi who kissed Trump. Held his hand. Is the same one three months ago, that walked off stage because judge Jeanine actually called out the stupidity in her statements. Look at morning Joe. These same people kissed his ass and loved him when they were staying in his hotels for free. Or being shown the star treatment, now vilify him at every turn. He didn’t hurt any of them while president. One day, a protest that got out of hand. He is the devil incarnate. He stole our democracy. Well, yall trampled that shit into the ground with the coup. And no one even mentions the code word democracy anymore.

Imagine being friends most of your life with people. Treating them very well. Giving free things to them, then have them not just turn on you, but are happy someone took a shot at him. You and I go back and forth here, and I have friends that have been democrats there whole life I wouldn’t turn on like that ever. It shows a lack of character. And you think Trump is evil. I thought the video would be entertaining. The ironic thing. He didnt say anything in that interview that hasn’t continued to say. Only the reaction is different. I wonder why?

 

[zingerdawg]

Oh yea. Totally trumps fault. lol. Good lord man. Really. If things changed from a year prior. Which is why Trump didn’t do the pullout then, do we not have the capability to think for ourselves. Make a change so people aren’t killed. If that is a prerequisite for president, you are going to be sorely disappointed by Kamala. Really disappointed! Of course you guys did vote for Joe.

Seems like the families clearly know who is to blame.
