This explains his vitriol against Sen. Duckworth

Not only is she a woman serving in the US Senate and a person of color, she is also a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army AND she was wounded in combat, receiving a Purple Heart for her sacrifice.

That's why he requested/demanded that no disabled veterans participate in "HIS" parades.

Especially since there are plenty of quotes of him saying how great an athlete he is/was. He never had surgery for those "spurs".

I'm always amazed at how many people don't - or refuse to - see that. It couldn't be any clearer.

Would he invite any of his deplorable followers or religious fanatics up for a drink att his de-luxe apartment in the sky?

I doubt it bigly.

"I love the poorly educated", for example. What was left unsaid is he "loves" them because they're dumb enough to support him. He was mocking them, not praising them.

The military he loves is that of erik prince's ilk and have sworn fealty to him only, and the cash they get for doing so. And they do this so they can have a chance at murder with impunity with the background scenery of choice.

The phrase that has been running through my head a lot recently when he has said something is "mashed potato malarkey"! I wish Joe & Kamala could use that!

She's continually calling him out on his lack of action regarding this. Each day on Twitter there is a post from her about it.

I think he is jealous of them - he was never able to prove what he thinks he is, a hero who would rush into combat and save everyone.

In that reptilian sub basement that subs for a brain, he realizes he couldn't pass boot, let alone deal with "real world".

He's done nothing in his life but bully, con, steal and run away from every challenge.

The thing with spite that people forget is: a spiteful act not only negativity effects the person one hates but also effects negatively effects the spiteful person.

Aka the right wing fascists enjoy using a bazooka to shoot themselves in the foot if it spited someone on the left

He judges women SOLELY on their attractive qualities (his standards are pretty low as we can tell), and being fancy and wearing tight clothing etc.

He cannot even see his daughter as nothing more than someone he wants to f*ck.

He is a stupid, immoral, lazy degenerate.
