He sounds like a third grader reading his composition, "How I spent my summer vacation".

but I happened to watch this one. I thought whoever his speechwriter is should be fired. My sixth grade granddaughter could have written a better speech.

The reason he didn't go yesterday is that his helo wouldn't fly in the rain and it would have taken a few hours to drive there and back, which would have interfered with his golf round.

In movies, when they make it look like it’s raining, they have to make it an absolute torrent to get it to show up on film.

However, I don’t mean to defend trump. I’m just saying.

I think it’s just as well that draft-dodging soldier hater stayed away from the memorials yesterday. He has no place being near memorials honoring those who fought and died in wars.

I could forgive trump for dodging the draft. As a combat veteran, I can’t blame people for doing what they need to do in order to stay out of war. War really sucks. However, when you disparage the service of those who did serve, like his comment about POWs, your a dirt bag by my definition. The only people who can question the service of a POW are those who were POWs in the cells with them.
