Speaking at the welcome ceremony for his new Joint Chiefs chairman, Trump just boasted of the time he, "believe it or not," got "a big award from the Marines." The award was from the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, a charitable organization, not the Marines itself.

According to @Fahrenthold reporting in 2016, Trump had previously given the foundation that gave him the award $230,000 from his own foundation, which was largely funded by others' money. The award-giving foundation was chaired by Jim Kallstrom, a Trump ally in the election.

1. He doesn't know the difference, he's lost it ... this guy has been nuts for a long while

3. this is just the same old run-of-the-mill fraud for donnie.

playing up that he went to wharton and letting people think he went to their prestigious mba program when in fact he only did two years of an undergraduate program there.

2. Sewells Point Marine gave me a bunch of coupons for hull cleaning

I'd like to thank the Marines for bestowing this honor upon me.

Marines love me, let me tell you. A lot of people are saying the Marines have never done anything like this before...

:Eyes:

7. I dated a Maureen.

I got a perfect reward.

8. I heard of a Marine whose wife had twins

He's still out looking for the other guy.

[gratuitous]

4. "Believe it or not"

I'll take "not."

I guess at some level, Trump thinks this fabulous (derivative of the word "fable" ) bragging impresses people. Those that are impressed declare themselves as marks to be fleeced by this con man.

5. Must be for his Military Service to his country!

6. Did You Get Trump's Calendar Request For Civil War?

BY R. ERIC THOMAS
SEP 30, 2019

I swear if I have to go stand in front of my Mars-based homeschool class and teach them that the second American Civil War began on something called Twitter which historians are describing as "a mistake," I am going to be so mad ...

... Jeffress (the Gavrilo Princip of this new figurative conflict) was predicting a "Civil War like fracture" and not explicitly a civil war but I'm not really sure what that means ...

Why is it that certain people always jump right to threats of civil war like we've all been training at CrossFit to fight, Jonas brother against Jonas brother, in a battle for the future of the nation? Confidential between you, me, and the lines of people of all stripes waiting to get the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich: this is not the case.

... a war? In this economy? ...
