TheDoyler23 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Trump tweeted about the stock market last night.... and now it's down 700+ points. And he's raging about "fake news" polls causing it. Not the insecurity behind ANOTHER big unemployment number. Not that. Polls. Dementia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwpanic Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

mistertim Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 It's ****ing mind blowing how little play the revelation that Trump called fallen American soldiers "losers" and generally treated them with nothing but disdain is getting. I can see Fox News not running with it obviously, but it's hardly even more than a whisper on Washington Post, CNN, NY Times, etc. Can you imagine what would have happened if a story like this had come out about Obama? He'd legit have had to resign and leave the country, probably within 2 days of when it dropped. That being said, I agree with other points...the sources who are saying this stuff and confirming it need to stand up publicly and sound off like they've got a pair. I think that would make it MUCH more compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Mattis since he's already come out so forcefully (for a former military brass guy, at least) against Trump. And Kelly? Trump literally made light of his son's death right in front of him at his grave. And it's not like Kelly hasn't said anything at all about him either. Maybe they're waiting a bit so it doesn't seem like they're a part of some sort of "conspiracy" against Trump? Maybe they were actually sources for the story. But still...why keep silent then? Both of them have already spoke out about Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Yeah, MSNBC is all over this. Everyone weighing in. If everyone can't salute Tammy Duckworth for her remarks, there are things missing. "I'll take my wheelchair & titanium legs over his bone spurs. " I've got a couple jokes, but I'd rather acknowledge her and her sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 i cannot believe the volume of solid confirmation the atlantic piece received...and all the additional tidbits added by other news outfits chasing their leads down seem to be similarly supported today has been relentless, even since i made the post above...even the damn fox news chief national security reporter, jennifer griffin did a blazing piece on confirming it and more, and it was being accepted without pushback by whoever the host dude was, and she just nailed trump to the cross straight up haven't seen him do it yet but i hope if he gives a specific reaction to the fox news piece---especially since the reporter's a woman--i want to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
