- Former Trump chief of staff and retired Marine Gen. John Kelly rejected former President Donald Trump’s comments that the Presidential Medal of Freedom that honors civilians was “much better” than the Medal of Honor given to service members, telling CNN that the two honors are “Not even close. No equivalency of any kind.” #CNN #News

The medal of honor was the last thing on those recipients minds as they were earning them.
Tump, a relatively healthy 80 year old who plays golf everyday used a physical disability excuse to avoid Vietnam. He doesn’t know what service is.
SAVE THEIR FRIENDS was what they were thinking , Trump only cares for himself
I'm sure no soldier runs into fire to pull his wounded brothers to safety while channeling Charlie Sheen: "Winning!!". Trump never earned anything and has no notion of sacrifice or service, only privilege and profit. Lock him up, Lock him up, Lock him up!
And the first thing on Trump's mind everyday is:
How can I escape legal retribution for my crimes/.
Amen. Great comment.
Presidential medal of freedom: give millions of dollars to politics. Medal Honor: sacrifice one's self to save one or more fellow servicemembers. No comparison.
Thank you! FINALLY somebody leaves a comment here that understands the true difference between the two types of Medals. Trump, if he had the ability to, would NEVER give that woman, or anybody else that doesn't deserve it, a "Medal of Honor".

You're right....giving it to Rush Limbaugh was a true mockery

I can't watch trumps face, can't hear his voice without feeling disgusted and sick. Vote him out of our system, for EVER!
For God sakes would you PLEASE tell me why you hate trump so damn much? What did he do to you or your friends or to the United States or the world that caused you to despise trump so much that you can even look at his face or hear his voice? Don't you realize how insane and crazy that makes use sound?
You can say that again.
Well Said 😍
I don't think we would ever Miss him
I'm sick of his accordion hands, too!
What's even more disturbing is that someone clapped for this disrespectful statement.
Yes! Sickening! Disgusting
Very fine people indeed. Hateful bigots
I haven’t heard a reporter highlight that fact.
There were some who verbally agreed with the statement.
@@yvonnesmith2335 like after it was said the 1st time? Who opening agreed?

The news sucks so hard. I am tired of questioning "what he REALLY meant
The amount that earned her that medal was in the millions. There is no telling how many have bought his favor. Or did he buy theirs and they just gave it back? 🤔

DISGUSTING HUMAN
GROTESQUE
This is so shameful… how can anyone vote for this person
You'd rather have the medal of honor, really??? I don't believe that.
JD Vance said in 2017 that Trump used Racism to win the 2016 Election and Some of Trump Supporters are Racist. Trump call Veterans Losers and Suckers and the reason he called them that because Trump knows no matter how much he insults them they still will Vote for him.
it's called racism.. welcome to the real US! Where over 75M people are more interested in being white, than being right. oKay-K-K?
That's that white jesus "christian" morality...
Only the most depraved heart could witness all that Trump has said and done, his attitude, his tone, his treatment of others, his business history, his legal history, his criminal history and say, "This guy should be POTUS...AGAIN!".
They’re like diaper Donny. Unintelligent and immoral. Deplorable is too kind of a word for them.
There is no way to defend that indefensible comment. Shame on you trump and much respect to all current Service Members, Veterans and Medal of Honor recipients.
For once, Trump is right. The Medal of Honor means nothing anymore since the US only fights for corporate interests and colonial nonsense. Of course, getting an award by Trump also means nothing.
Amen 🙏
@@Radioguy-tf6rp what are those service members doing outside of fighting for corporate interests? They're just like Donny.
His absence in Paris, along with his degrading remarks about J. McCain and the lack of respect for our military in general, should be enough to lose all respect for this guy.
And people actually clapped when he said that, unbelievable

I agree with General Kelly. Service members EARNED their medal through their blood, sweat, and tears. God bless them for their service.
Kelly is a waste of O2, he had his chance to 25th Amend the Anarchist formally known as trump. Now the coward speaks out and acts big.
This alone should be disqualifying
You are so right... I can`t understand those ''swingerstates''... and the Evangelists, who worship him like a Messiah.
th-cam.com/users/shortsgGNxveuDuqc
So you are anti free speech ?
How can he be Commander and Chief when he has no respect for our military personnel rather living or deceased ??
There has been like a million reasons he should be disqualified and nothing moves the red neck knuckle draggers! The Hollywood Access should have been disqualifying- it wasn’t and neither has anything else he has ever said - the media and the courts will never hold him accountable and so he will keep doing it! And no one cares!

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR THIS MAN. EXPLAIN THIS TOO ME 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
Mental and spiritual illness, plus White Supremacy ....
Rush Limbaugh sure as hell didn’t deserve a medal.
Yeah … that was a truly revolting turn of events. Two very small men stroking each other
If only right-wing morons knew about Rush Limbaugh's lifestyle... He was basically a childless old drug addict living in an ornate mansion in Palm Beach with his precious cats and some "trophy wife" (following a number of divorces). The avatar of the party of "family values" folks!
In my 70 years, that was one of the most disgusting things I had ever seen.

@RandyWatson-iw7qn Garbage people keep making excuses for Trump instead of moving on.
There was a time when veterans who valued their service would turn their backs on someone like this. Now they cuck up to him.
I met some famous musicians in my lifetime. Big thrill every time for me. In 2019 I met a Congressional Medal of Honor award recipient at Danny Trejo's Taco restaurant. He was in there in full military attire wearing the award. He had his military trained dog as well. He told me how he received it from his service. He & his dog were severely wounded. Both of their injuries were apparent. The soldier had a robotic arm. His story brought tears in my eyes. My friend took a picture of me with him & his dog. I cherish that picture. My old boss saw the picture & he told me he was envious because he served 22 years in the US Navy and never met anyone who was awarded the medal. I am forever grateful for meeting that incredible soldier & his dog. I hope he is living a great life these 5 years later. Thanks to him & ALL the US military veterans who have sacraficed so much to keep America free. 👍✌️🙂🇺🇲
Well said.I have met 100's of sport stars, love music, the Arts, am 67 yrs old.....the greatest person I have ever been BLESSED to meet was a survivor of The Bataan Death March( Motts Tonelli of Chicago).Men like him and my Dad(a Normandy veteran) allow us to be free every single day.
@@daniellinehan63 I grew up in Chicago. I appreciate & honor both men. 👍✌️🙂🇺🇲

He's an idiot
Harris/Walz 24, Let's make America sane and kind.
So one medal you pay for and the Medal of Honor you earn by service to our country.
Seems about right. Remember Trumpty was given a Purple Heart medal from someone who earned it in battle, and Trump kept it.
@@ArizonaSquatch Smh
@@neevious NO. Trump said that he viewed the Medal of Freedom given to his rich donor as clearly more important than the medal of honor. Period. Then he gave the lame excuse that it was much better not to be injured at all which is why he felt the Medal of Freedom was more valuable. Face it, Trump is a heartless idiot who values money more than the sacrifices of veterans who defended this country with their lives. Utterly shameful. Look up the scathing comments of the Commander of the VFW in response to Trump's outrageous comments. He makes it very clear that Trump disrespected what the Medal of Honor stood for and disrespected those who had rightfully earned it on the field of battle. Even Trump's former Chief of Staff, General Kelly, thought that Trump's action was deplorable and insulting to the military.
Exactly!
It's easy to understand why Trump made those comments. He has zero understanding of service. Former president bone spurs who is a draft dodger.
Quite simply this is what insanity looks like.
Yes and there's nothing left to say about this dirt bag.
Absolutely!!!
Do u know what you have to survive to receive one?? No one wants that medal. They’re usually handed to someone’s next of kin. The ceremony isn’t a happy one. The presidential medal is a happy ceremony. A much better ceremony.
Narcissism, misogyny, idiocy
@@neeviousyou justifying this clown says a lot about you. These people put their lives on the line for your freedom to share such an insensitive comment. You need to take a hard look in the mirror
I personally feel what he said is worse than calling fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers”
Both are disgusting...
@@fluffyone1882 I agree with you 100%. Makes me angry 😡
There’s no real difference in what he said
What baffles me is that there are some current military service men and women and veterans who will still vote for him.
@@MyDeere3320 it’s inexplicable

@@pigcatapult He does not know the meaning of the word Honour. All he knows about is kissing ass.
Those people applauding should be ashamed of themselves!
kathleen: I thought the same thing about those trained seals of tRUMP'S. Made me sick when they clapped! Someone must have held up a sign and all they did was salivate and follow directions. Jim Jones move over, many more coming your way!
He accordions his hands whenever hes spinning his biggest lines of BS
Another tell in his lies is when he says "sir". But who needs a tell. He is lying every time he speaks.
He does
@@sophsaund304 He lies every time he opens his mouth, but playing the invisible accordion indicates that a particular lie is a whopper of all whoppers!
If his lips are moving, he's lying. Also, if his thumbs are moving.
In poker they call that a "tell".
The first Black recipient of the Medal of Honor was just 18 years old who threw himself on a grenade to save the other soldiers around him.
Again, Trump did NOT give that woman a "Medal of Honor". What the hell's wrong with you people? All you want to believe his lies. While she try listen to just one-hour of Sean Hannity and then research to find out if what he says is true. I have already done that many many times. Why don't YOU try to do it just one time.
Sucker...........
Trump will only Save HIMSELF so self serving a liar who is not true with his word nor any of his commitment not unless it only suits himself
Actually the first black recipient of the Medal of Honor was for actions in the civil war during an attack on a fort In Charleston, South Carolina. He was part of the 54th Massachusetts colored regiment. He did not actually receive the medal until sometime in the 1910s. Last name was Carey or Carney. My middle school is named after the soldier you mention Milton L Olive III.
Trump considers him to be a loser and a sucker.
He is sickening I can’t stand him. 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
I am so ready to turn the page on this P.O.S. Harris/Wallz 2024
The whole world my friend
I couldn’t agree more!
I’m sick of him too.
Sooooooooo tired of the media interpreting trump's vile remarks
that’s why it’s so important to vote this time. if he’s not elected, we won’t have to hear about him anymore
The most disgusting thing about that man's comment is THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED THAT MAN'S COMMENT WITH APPLAUSE...
Undeserved applauses? Have you heard how many times the DNC Convention crowd applauded to all the lies being spewed to then? Apparently, the Democrats will believe ANYTHING they are told and support it without questioning its validity (truth).
But he was speaking before a pro Israel audience.
He wasn’t “trying” to say anything CNN… he said it! He called them suckers, he thinks a civilian award is better than the Medal of Honor. The guys a slime ball. PERIOD.
yes Maggie Haberman HE DID SAY it with John Kelly present when they were overseas in France, either 2017 or 2018......
People really need to learn how to listen. For some it comes naturally not for others they need to learn it!!!!!! He was saying it is better only in the sense you don't have to get injured to get it, and that it is the civilian equal to the Medal of Honor!!!! CNN knows this to be true!!!

he did not call them suckers it never happened el stoop ed
@@davidcaster986 SOME people really need to learn how to listen to what is actually said and not what they hope was said or what Fox propaganda says was said. Trump was saying that people who serve in the military are suckers and losers and he doe snot get why anyone serves because they get nothing out of it, as Trump is transactional and ONLY cares about himself not anyone else hence why he never served.
True furthermore was saying that those who get the Medal of Honour are not worthy because they are disabled by their injuries or dead and that is why the Medal of Freedom is better as he judges everyone on their looks.
He has made statements in the most about people's looks...including for example(one of many many many) judging Kamala on her looks because she was on the cover of Time Magazine.
You know this to be true but can not accept it can you, I wonder why Vlad?
A couple years ago General Kelly said, "After everything he's said, and everything he's done it's beyond my comprehension how anyone supports Trump."
Kelly is a waste, he had his chance to 25th Amend trump.
Does he understand anything, or care about anyone but himself? Get up and fight against this despicable character!

Did you listen to what the crowd cheering about just after every lie that Harris and others said and claimed at that the DNC Convention yesterday? It is YOUR kind of people that are allowing the United States to be attacked and near destroyed from within by the DNC and all the other corrupt and bought off Senators and Congressmen like Chuck Schumer, George Soros and Barack Obama. You need to start listening to at least 80% of Trump speeches and AT LEAST just one hour of Sean Hannity describing what the FACTS TRULY ARE.
Aren't you aware that the DNC is NOT the same Democratic Party they were prior to 20 years ago? Currently, they are a mixture of Marxist, Socialists and Communist. Is that what YOU support?
If so, pack your things, kids, wife and pets and move your ass out of the United States and go live in Russia, Cuba, China or North Korea.

Exactly correct
Trump is for sale
And interestingly enough, Donald Trump has been bought too!
Everything and anything can be bought as long as you donate money 💵 to Trump. He has done it before - political endorsements, environmental roll backs, big tax breaks, presidential medal 🥉 of freedom and presidential pardons etc etc. Trump will sell United States for dollars 💵. 😢😮😢😮😢😮😢
Making a “statement “ is not enough if Kelly really wanted to make an impact he should go on the record by saying it on camera.
Plus he should publicly endorse and vote for Vice President Harris.
He should show up in Chicago at the Dnc and say it.
John Kelly still hopes to be Michael Flynn's Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
But he won't do that, and why I have no idea.
Absolutely he's a self-serving coward. A patriot🤣🤣🤣
DESPICABLE, utterly despicable !
Veterans, please recognize that Trump doesn't understand that our nation's freedoms are born through and guarded by the sacrifice of our warriors (Service Members), no amount of money can guarantee it. Honor is earned, not given!

Somewhat a veteran myself, not too many veterans do support him. We just aren’t vocal about it. I have a few friends that still support him but most don’t. We don’t really talk about politics at work as it should be as the military is and should always remain apolitical. However we all talk to each other, nobody with integrity supports this clown. Keep in mind most of the military members despise politicians regardless of party, because they are mostly all talk. Trump is different, his incompetence is dangerous. Our previous leaders knew it, and we know it too.

Worked for The American Legion “Rehab” office in west Los Angeles, across from the National Cemetery in Westwood for 21 years, where the DVA Regional Office is located. We provided walk-in assistance, free of charge, to veterans & dependents with their DVA claims & assisted hundreds of veterans & their survivors. It was my honor.
I had a stunning & sobering view of the National Cemetery across Wilshire Blvd every day from the window of my 5th floor office. Actually met my husband, a Vietnam vet, there. He was drafted at 18 & subsequently went to college on the GI Bill. Trump dodged the draft - okay many did.
But to hear that crap about those who did serve from this nasty guy - who gave Rush Limbaugh - RUSH LIMBAUGH of all people the Medal of 8:16 Freedom. It outraged me. I do not expect every president to be a vet, not at all, but in Trump the republicans are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Why? VOTE BLUE!!!
As a widow of a disabled War in Iraq veteran, I thank you for your assistance to veterans and their families!
I, like you, don’t expect every President to be a veteran, but at the VERY least, they should never be a draft dodger like Draft Dodging Donnie, the Traitorous Trump
It is my personal opinion, but I think everyone who is the president, vice president or are members of the House or senate should have some sort of military service rather it be active duty or national guards, army reserves or coast guards.
Audie Leon Murphy (20 June 1925 - 28 May 1971) was an American soldier, actor, and songwriter. He was widely celebrated as the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II and has been described as the most highly decorated soldier in U.S. history. He received every military combat award for valor available from the United States Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. Murphy received the Congressional Medal of Honor for valor that he demonstrated at age 19 for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, before leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. Of course, Trump can overlook such valor because he prefers to honor Republican donors for their "service" to America.
🤧Thank you for this comment, Sir.
🗽God bless you all ❤
Audie Murphy received the Medal of Honor, not the Congressional Medal of Honor, no such thing at that time.
Trump is slime…
@@johninalaska9563 Audie Murphy was the recipient of America's highest decoration known as the Medal of Honor. Originally authorized by congress during the Civil War this medal has had several versions since 1862. The version earned by Audie Murphy was authorized for the Army in 1904 and is known as the "Gillespie" version. All versions of the Medal of Honor are generically known as "Congressional Medals of Honor" because they are all authorized by Congress since 1862.
Add 3 purple hearts. Bronze star, silver star and French highest military honor for a others countries soldier. I'm 2003 I went to Austin to visit a friend. Ended up taking a free tour of capital. They had a memorial for every Texan that was medal of honor recipient. There was 18 or so people. 2 3 couples with kids. The girl asked if anyone knew who was most famous? I still don't know if the people were Texans but as a Yankee from Chicago I waited and said. Audie Murphy. Rattled off his awards and she was so happy. She even pointed out that this Yankee from New York new him. I corrected her and didn't care. That tour of Austin State capital was awesome. And free.
Normandy, Iwo Jima, Vietnam, Fallujah….wow…
a vote for Convicted Felon trump for president is a vote to endanger our troops
Your side supposedly convicted him under false bullshit.
Yep that is what the main stream media tells their sheep.
They were sham cases so conviction doesn’t count
@@Woke-Fact-checkedyeah whatever you don't like, is fake. We get it. 😂
@@kromesd769 It’s obvious to see what they were doing to him, trying to interfere with election year.
When Trump says the Medal of Freedom is “much better”, he means it is “much better” for HIM.
Yeah and that's because it's the only medal he could have got. He is not serving his country. He would never serve and he despises and maybe fears those who could actually sacrifice their body and soul as he doesn't understand it.
Hard to believe half the country support this awful man. Country over party
He is not a very likable person, however, he causes both parties leadership, both Republican and Democrats, to reject him, which means he is not paid for by anyone and speaks his mind. It is not what you see at the DNC this past week on the upper decks and the private booths in the stadium at the Democrat National Convention, who are the wealthy and ultra wealthy class attempting to buying a presidency.
As a combat veteran who has lost many friends in war, what Trump was saying was both awards are deemed equal as both are the highest award in the military and the civilian sector, yet the military member has to give up something and the civilian does not. The ONLY person who should be offended is Miriam Adelson, the lady receiving the Medal of Freedom, not the servicemen and women.
@@Hallettjs7957she received it because of her donation-period!
@@annripley1964 Now lets be honest, the big money is coming from the private booths in the convention center at the DNC Convention which come with strings attached. The only need the little people like you and I to attach donations to wash the contributions so it is not attached to large donors. Harris's campaign even acknowledged this problem by saying they will address this after the election. Harris is bought and paid for and she has a history of playing chameleon to fit the role.
Private bone spurs has no right to say anything about the brave men and women that have served our country
Thank you general Kelly . You got all my respect. I got 2 grandchildren in the army and 1 other grandson joining the navy. I'm so proud of them. God bless you and God protect all man and women in the service. ❤
Kelly's a coward.
He should be publicly speaking against Trump, but while in the administration and out of it, we're hearing second-hand accounts.
And I say that as a retired Flight Medic (68WF2, E-6) and the son of an Army Airborne Ranger.
Since Trump gave the PMF to Rush Limbaugh, in such a cheep way during his address to Congress, I still haven't been able to see it with the same shine...
He absolutely cheapened the value of the medal. Make it seem like you can get one for just money.
There's no shine to the medal of honor anymore either since the US military only fights for corporations and colonial nonsense.
Because Rush kissed his ass and that’s all you need to get anything out of Trump. Kissing his ass is the key, and all our foreign enemies know how to fluff him to get what they want. To sit there to think that North Koreaand russia want to all of a sudden be our “friends” is just ascinine and comical. Trumps the real murcharian candidate
@@lesliejaggers2275
Isn’t that the way Trump rolls?
He gave the medal to Limbaugh because he was a better liar than himself.
I am thankful for the many people who have sacrificed for our country and received the high honor of the Medal of Honor. I am a veteran and not a loser or sucker.
HE NEVER CALLED U SUCKER N LOSER . FOR GODS SAKES
And did you do anything to deserve the "Middle of Honor"? Do you honestly believe John McCain deserve the Middle of Honor after being captured and held prisoner by the enemy? What is YOUR definition of a hero? A hero is someone that sacrifices his life to save his comrades.
A hero is somebody that charges the enemy on the battlefield trying to save his fellow troops that would otherwise be slaughtered if he didn't while risking his own life. A hero is somebody that would stand up and be shot at and struck by a bullet from someone trying to kill and then come back to the battlefield exposing himself while expecting to be shot at again and possibly killed later. Does that person sound familiar to you? His name is Pres. Trump.
@@jrxvo6080 You actually DISGUST all of civilised mankind.
Thank you for your service to country and to uphold the Constitution. 🇺🇸
@jrxvo6080 Hey word pollution wumao or Russian bot, I've got your "middle of honor" right here lol
Go bother some Taiwan 🇹🇼 is a country people, that's more your speed.
Thank you for calling him Mister. He is simply a citizen.
Should cost him the ENTIRE campaign
@@jillharling That, plus all the other terrible things he says, he disrespects everything.
It already has 😂😂😂
Wow, even in walking it back....he crapped all over the Medal. "...but the Medal of Freedom, is for people who achieved great things!". The person who is speaking of...is some lady who donated a massive amount of money to his campaign.
And I would not be surprised if he gave to Melania, to make sure she kept her mouth shut.
Trump did NOT give her the Metal of Freedom because of the money she donated to his campaign. Do you really believe that? If you do then stop trying to analyze things because you're doing a pretty crappy job at it !
His narcissism won't allow him to apologize. He ALWAYS doubles down.
If Trump was shown a button and told if he presses it, he'll will get a million dollars but a person will die ... Trump would pound away at that button as fast as he could.
Someone saving someone else's life doesn't put a penny in Trump's pocket, so of no importance to Trump.
The problem is deeper than mere greed. He doesn't understand why his words created a fuss. Even after people try to explain it to him. He's broken at a fundamental level, it is like trying to describe a color he cannot see.
Absolutely. She bought that medal from Trump for a whopping 50 million dollars.
It is appalling and shameful - offensive to everyone - not a service members. To compare the honours AND to say the military one is worse/lesser!
Why are people clapping for Trump after his comments. It’s shameful that any American would clap for that.
It’s crazy to me, to be someone that serves this country and be a trump supporter at the same time.
He’s always talked down on the military ever since he started running for president. Because he doesn’t see them as heroes, because he himself dodged the draft,
and basically looked at the ones who couldn’t dodge the draft as losers, and he laughed at them.
If you cannot see that by now? It’s because you don’t want to see it
Servicemen/women supporting *rump is the definition of cognitive dissonance.
Trump does adhere to the ideology that soldiers exist to die fighting wars for the rich and are suckers and fools
He has no understanding of patriotism or service to a greater cause or even self sacrifice for another
@@chopsjazz1something is definitely wrong with them mentally
Maybe they listen to more than sound bytes.
@@TheTruthFollows Like what?
Donald J. Trump, disgrace be thy name.

and yet, he doesn't have the blood of tens of thousands on his hands... hate 45, but how is supporting genocide and suppressing primaries any better? Don't forget, they were all trying to slip a Weekend at Bernie's candidate past all of us, while gas lighting us, their own constituents. Dude, how is that any different from the GOP and Maga? Who I find disgraceful, are those who refuse to acknowledge that fact, while calling Maga a cult. SMH!
PHUCK BLUE MAGA TOO!!!
Ok so what was the quote? Lol you guys keep avoidong the truth.
You know there is video of trump dancing on soul train(tv show). How's that sit with Vets who served, it makes me sick. Captain bone spurs is a complete disgrace.
Biden's own party kicked him out
He tried to clear it up and said the exact same thing.
u dmb fck all he was saying was there was no hardship involved with the process of handing the 1 out that in no way is disrespectful
Literally explained it by doubling down on exactly what he said originally.
He said he’d much rather get the medal of freedom than the Medal of Honor because he can’t imagine anything being worth the sacrifice needed to earn the Medal of Honor… he is, without question, the most important thing in the universe (to himself).
Remember what he said about John McCain about being captured?
Yeah, I do. Do you? Well, here is EXACTLY what he said:
On July 18, 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump said this about John McCain: “He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people (soldiers) that weren't captured."
So, what is your point about what Trump said about John McCain? Do you feel/believe that John McCain should have receive the "Medal of Honor" after being captured and forced to live in a concentration camp in North Korea?
But what about all those soldiers that got their legs blown off while trying to save their fellow U.S. American soldiers while fighting on the battlefield front lines? Those are the kind of soldiers that properly DESERVE the "Medal of Honor". Don't you agree?
North Korea?
@@jrxvo6080 Donald Trump despises all service members who sacrificed, died, shot down and captured over enemy lines and were wounded in defense of America. He called them "suckers and losers" and NO words in an unabridged dictionary are adequate to defend such a horrible, despicable, cowardly individual!
When he does the accordion hands he's lying through his teeth
Which is almost continuously. 🤣
Also he looks to the camera. It's his tell
Lying though his false teeth
He’s lying through his fingers 😊
All fake.
Hair,

And Stormy says he's a three minute man between the sheets.
For how long trump has been in the political scene, i have seen EVERYONE defend him but never ask him to apologize regardless of what he says... he is clearly disrespectful and unapologetic.
He's a coward that is desperately hiding that fact from the cowards that vote for him.
Not apologizing for the birther stuff with Obama showed just what kind of person he is.
He's a narcissist. He'll NEVER apologize. He's repugnant.
@@takaorobinson8719When that came up years ago I realized then that Trump was a wing nut with too much voice..
And he never ever asked for forgiveness even alone in prayerful self reflection. Not once.
Medal of Freedom doesn't mean anything when he hands it out!
The greatness of military service is that there are people who are willing to stand between us and our enemies at their ultimate peril. How can you not admire that?
And the people clapped for someone insulting their parents.
“You’ve achieved great success” like donating a 100 million to his campaign gets you a medal of freedom 🤷🏽♂️ Rush Limbaugh, Jim Jordan, and Devin Nunez were given one too 😂
All of them disgraceful fascists!!
And Stormy Daniels. Hers was a little orange one.
It used to be called a "bribe" but that was before the end of truth in public life.
So,you get one for kissing Rump's a$$,or donating to his campaign, nice to know.
Kelly well said any normal person of either party agrees with you and the fact that you brought up the lack of Service record of the person said the original insult was classic.
Trump's "military school" was more of a reform school for problematic rich kids. Poor students who were like Trump went to jail.
This is only partially true, and those students tended to get themselves drummed out fairly early. There were also plenty of attendees who were there to take in the education and structure they offered, more so for those on track to a formal military career at one of the military colleges. I attended NYMA myself, just don't ask which kind of kid I was starting out...
Gotti's son was there at the same time and for the same reasons.

He said exactly what he meant to say. He has no respect for service members. It's an insult that he was ever Commander in Chief and should never hold that office again.
