The politics is that putin has long been jealous of our amazing military, so chump feels need to denegrate them.

(10,014 posts)It was a very convoluted sentence but he basically said trump has done more for veterans and the military than any one since WWII.
He claims hes also seen trump write letters of condolences to the families of fallen soldiers.

(31,008 posts)Joe Biden will write those letters himself. Hes done it before. Hes not afraid of grieving family. Nor is he disgusted by wounded veterans. Ive seen him at funerals for police who were killed on the job. I saw him bury his face in his hands. I saw him spend a lot of time with the mans widow and three-year-old daughter.

(1,078 posts)We need to force the point about trump's insults aimed at Sen. McCain. "I don't like people who have been captured". We need to keep bringing it up on all forms of social media and hopefully, someone in the media can question him about it. If the media doesn't bring it up, we can. Let's show the world what an America hating asshole he really is.

He kept on changing the subject to how great Trump is doing with the VA-- even though the VA is not demonstrably better.
As a VA client, I will say it's gotten somewhat better over the many years, but nothing points to Trump or this ass kisser.
