Trump's patriotism hypocrisy

Trump wants to malign protesters who take a knee for being unpatriotic but lets look at his own patriotism.

" I know more then the generals do" Trump once said...

Trump developed a mysterious case of bone spurs after being drafted for Vietnam and received 5 deferments.

Trump said his “personal Vietnam” was avoiding sexual transmitted disease, calling himself a “brave soldier”
Trump said POWs are not heroes because they were captured

During a much-publicized running feud with Arizona Senator John McCain, Trump scoffed at the idea that he should respect to the decorated pilot. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said in 2015. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
Trump attacked a gold-star family

Trump invited literal Russian spies into the oval office and excluded American media.
FBI and CIA said it was like a spit in the face to them.

I'm just going to tweak it a bit and say that there is always a trump tweet that proves him to be an unabashed hypocrite and/or liar.

disgusting.

The republican "family values" role model is an exceedly low sort of dotard.

Why do republicans want to let their children grow up following the example of a five-time draft-dodging liar & business cheat?

I guarantee you, Jesus does not approve of republican "values."
