    Like a quote from the nephew is going to change anything by now. At this point there are a multitude of quotes straight from the Jackass’ mouth that demonstrate his outright contempt for anyone serving in uniform aside from maybe the generals he’s directly had to deal with and even then only if they didn’t flat out refuse one of his idiotic/illegal proposals.

    If you’re a veteran, or a member of the military, and you vote for that asshole you deserve what you get.

    Yeah I don’t see how this is news. He’s repeatedly called soldiers “losers” and “suckers”, he’s ditched appearances where he was supposed to be honoring fallen soldiers, and that business recently at the Arlington cemetery just really hammered home the fact that he has no respect for them in any way whatsoever.

    This seems more like the nephew wants to cash in on 15 minutes of fame by just agreeing with things we all already knew… but he is a Trump so I guess it’s not that surprising lol

      You’re correct; this isn’t news. He’s trying to cash in (same with Mary Trump), and the news outlets are too. Anything with trump in the headline generates clicks/ad revenue, so they’ll run anything regardless of its actual news value. We should all be downvoting these articles and otherwise discouraging people from posting shit like this

        Disagree. They have a duty to speak out and they do. It’s news because for some fucking reason 40% of all registered voters are dumb as a sack of hammers.

    Oh, so the nephew thinks someone who has publically shat on soldiers who were captured or killed doesn’t think hisbuncle gives a shit about soldiers?

    Really informative!

    I’ll call it sleep deprivation, but I initially read the the title as “spiders” instead of “soldiers” at least twice. I was like, “how the hell is this even propaganda?”

    We knew this already. Look at all his old quotes about soldiers, look at how he shit-talks them at every turn, calling them losers and suckers, saying he doesn’t understand why a smart person would ever join the military. Trump barely even bothers to veil his true feelings for soldiers, which lay somewhere between contempt and mockery.
