Before the president headed to his Thanksgiving festivities at Mar-a-Lago, the president was asked about the thousands of troops who he has ordered to spend the holiday on the U.S. border.
Dont worry, Trump assured members of the press.
Trump added that the soldiers are tough people who are used to making sacrifices.
They are proud to be on the border, he said. They are proud to be defending our nation.

(82,849 posts)1. The commander in chief says "Don't worry" about the troops
Which is a pretty facile thing to say when neither you nor anyone in your family has ever been in the military.

unlike this shitstain who couldn't even honor military dead because of a few raindrops.
Fuck off, you worthless POS, and take your whole freakshow of a family with you.

and put him - a freaking five-time draft-dodger - in command of our sons and daughters in uniform. Screw the GOP. I will never forgive them for doing this to America.

It was so much better than this crap.
