Asked why President Trump didn’t wear a mask while honoring WW II veterans in their 90s—just a day after one of his personal valets tested positive for COVID-19—press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said, “They made the choice to come here” http://on.forbes.com/60191C3ZR

1. If they die it's their fault

Trump is not responsible for any deaths.

[LakeArenal]

2. Now he's pro- choice? Fucker.

[Turbineguy]

3. Besides,

they fought on the wrong side.

[LisaL]

5. What on Earth are you talking about?

[rzemanfl]

6. Maybe that Drumpf is a Nazi? Otherwised I am a baffled as UR. n/t

[Grown2Hate]

8. The poster is finishing Trump's train of thought, not their own. EOM

[sanatanadharma]

20. trump does not honor the veterans

The poster implies, correctly, that trump does not honor the veterans.

[Susan Calvin]

21. I think you're calling Trump the new Hitler

I agree.

[dalton99a]

4. McEnany is a vile sociopath

just like her boss

[Maru Kitteh]

7. Exactly my thoughts yesterday. If the vets die, IT'S THEIR FAULT!

At least they got to see DEAR LEADER before they willingly contracted a highly virulent, deadly disease.


ETA: Because people did not get it (I thought DEAR LEADER in all caps would suffice, I was wrong) I shall now insert the emoji.

[Blue_true]

10. I take the same tact that you take. They came because they likely worship that asshole.

Their risk, their outcome.

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Oh god. I didn't think I needed the sarcasm emoji. I guess I do.

No I do NOT blame the WWII Veterans who fought against the Axis forces, Nazis and an Imperial war machine if they end up dead from fucking Trump. I don't even care who they voted for. HE, and his administration are charged with the protection of these living and rare witnesses to history. The vets were all in their nineties. I'd wager every last one of them had a POA. They should not be expected to have a complete and detailed understanding of the severity of this global emergency. If they get sick, TRUMP is responsible.

[Blue_true]

30. In every war, some people have frontline rolls, others don't.

Those men didn't have to necessarily had combat roles, or roles transporting and guarding Nazi prisoners of war like two of my uncles had.

Sorry. They chose to be in Trump's presence. Their choice, their risk. I know that if either of my WWII uncles were alive, he would have said FUCK TRUMP!!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

33. I will continue to hold TRUMP to account. This is his shit-show. His death cult.

[Blue_true]

34. Some people put themselves in his presence.

It is hard for me to hold them blameless for a negative outcome for them. I was really young when my uncles were alive, but I was old enough to remember how one viewed Reagan and how the family of the other felt about that president. I am sure that Trump would be held in even greater disdain than Reagan, so much so that neither man would want him to come near them.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. Whatever. You blame the WWII 90-100+ yo veterans. I'll blame Trump.

[Blue_true]

36. Trump is a corrupt asshole and very culpable for what is happening, but those Vets

chose to be in his presence, I am just saying that is likely the very last thing that either of my uncles would have chosen.

[Maru Kitteh]

42. I had 5 WWII uncles. There was no FAUX "news" when they were alive, and it is pure folly

to state with any absolutism how any one of them may have been affected - however - I think three of them would have played the "all politicians are corrupt!' card and they would have participated because it was a military honor. They would argue the CIC was almost always a flake and didn't matter.

The other 2 would have been horrified at DFT and refused.

My dad would have said .......................................................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................................................. Fuck that guy."
(all dashes to be filled with the epithets of your own choosing)

[niyad]

37. Tack, not tact.

[Blue_true]

41. Whatever, you apparently understood what I meant. nt

[babylonsister]

15. Are you serious?

Maybe they were honoring an important time in their lives before they can't.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. DEAR LEADER in all caps wasn't a sufficient tip-off, so I have updated the post.

Let me clarify again. OF COURSE IT'S TRUMP'S FAULT if they become ill. Asshole had to have his photo op. Again.

[Susan Calvin]

19. I don't agree with

I have no way of knowing how much information they did or didn't

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Trump is at fault if they are harmed in any way. Period.

My dad was a WWII vet, as were all 5 of my uncles on that side. Every time I think my hate cannot get any deeper for Trump, he finds a new way to blow out the bottom.

[Blue_true]

9. Whether you agree with her or not, those men CHOSE to come and be before that traitor.

They likely worship his name.

[AirmensMom]

12. I was thinking the same thing.

There is absolutely nothing that would make me voluntarily come within a mile of his evil presence.

[LeftInTX]

14. One woman tried to convince her grandfather not to go

They all said, "We're gonna die soon anyway".

She tried to explain to consequences of this, but he would not listen.

I think it's pretty selfish, knowing he could infected more people than himself.

[Susan Calvin]

17. Sounds like he didn't actually know that

Education is key.

[LeftInTX]

25. This guy knew what he was doing

Ms. Melikian said she was still concerned that her grandfather might not survive if he fell ill, and that he could carry the virus home to Arizona. “When he comes back, he could pass it along to my grandma,” she said. “He shouldn’t be leaving his house."

18. Ain't necessarily so

Depends on how much information they had

[Blue_true]

22. All they needed was Trump would be there. nt

[lpbk2713]

11. "So fuck em."

"Next question please?"

[marble falls]

13. Donnie's such a card.

[Susan Calvin]

16. Yeah, just like

People are making the choice to come back to work because they're losing their unemployment benefits.

[Marcuse]

23. They just don't care. Seriously, what else would she say?

[PCIntern]

24. Wait...WHAT!!!

I suppose she’s implying that they told them that Trumpy was not going to wear a mask and they came anyway.

[Totally Tunsie]

26. Sooooooo, if McEnany herself gets the 'rona, can we say

she chose to work for Chump?

[iluvtennis]

31. Kayleigh McEnany is an a-hole just like trump. I so despise these cretins. nt

[AllaN01Bear]

32. always our fault and not ur fault .

[musicman65]

38. Just hope to God

we are done with all his rat pack in november

[SpankMe]

39. Asshole is as asshole does. n/t

[PatrickforO]

40. They bled for this country, and Trump peed on it.

Disgusting.

[TreadSoftly]

43. Guess that means that the West Point grads can choose to stay home? (n/t)

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

44. That, plus, notice that only the OLD WW2 vets chose to appear. ...

... the YOUNG WW2 vets are a lot smarter.
