Secretary Buttigieg: "I'm not a retired naval officer, but I did proudly serve in the Naval Reserve. I remember when I went to officer training in Newport, Rhode Island, outside every one of our rooms they put a little biography of just one of the people from the Navy who won the Medal of Honor and a little write-up of how they got that Medal of Honor.

"You would feel about this big compared to these people. And maybe that's why those stories just break Donald Trump's brain. He literally cannot comprehend that kind of sacrifice. And he certainly cannot comprehend a concept of politics that is not about you, not about your glorification, but about what you can do to make other people better off."

1. Spot on. He's a mutant missing any kind of compassion in his head and heart.

"It is not about you, not about your glorification, but about what you can do to make other people better off."

I hope he gets help after being institutionalized.

11. Yeah, there is a genetic

Component to sociopathy and psychopathy. And they make up about 1% of humans. So, yeah, it could very well be a mutation on a gene or several genes.

14. Need to id it and eradicate it

2. Nailed it

Trump is a sociopath and I think this just breaks his thought process and he hasn't even learned how to just fake it well.

3. One slight alteration

Our military personnel do not win the Medal of Honor. They earn it. Often with blood, sometimes with their life.

6. Beat me to it

You win sports ball games and talent shows and games of chance. You earn the Medal of Honor through courage, self-sacrifice, and determination to put the greater good above your own.

4. But There's No "Brain" to Break!

Cognition does not seem to be part of him/it. We might as well be dealing with an amoeba!

5. "Donny Two Scoops" had his friends/guests served one scoop of chocolate ice cream and two scoops to himself.

He cheats in real estate/business deals and brags about it, because "isn't that the whole idea? to get the better deal?" paraphrased.

He cheats the IRS because it's the "government". - paraphrased.

He makes fun of Servicemen, Veterans, and Soldiers killed in action, calling them "suckers".

Didn't serve & wouldn't let his children serve in the Armed Services.

etc, etc, etc, FUCK HIM etc, etc, etc

8. You forgot

He cheats at GOLF!

It's really a game you play with/against yourself!

SMDH

[AnotherMother4Peace]

12. Now that's scary - What happens if he discovers he's cheating against himself. Does he find "Big Being" comfort? Is

there a big donny & little donny inside his fucked up head?

I honestly believe that his cult members are in a Heavens Gate, Peoples Temple type cult - unable to see reality.

[Probatim]

13. I wish they were in Heaven's Gate - maybe they'll all be Raptured after FFF45 loses in November.

The world would be a much nicer place.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

18. Agreed - BUT the dumpster is so fucking vindictive, his cult may be like The Branch Davidians, Manson Family,

Rajneeshee cult (deliberately contaminated salad bars in ten restaurants in The Dalles, Oregon with salmonella to poison hundreds of people. The goal was to incapacitate the voting population so that their candidates would win the Wasco County elections. The attack was the first and largest bioterrorist attack in U.S. history, resulting in 751 people becoming sick and 45 being hospitalized (Wikipedia),
Scientology ("fair games" & "ruins" enemies).

7. "Trump says he wanted to give himself Medal of Honor" (This is the title of 8/21/19 article cited in text)

“That was a big day, Medal of Honor. Nothing like the Medal of Honor,” he continued. “I wanted one, but they told me I don’t qualify, Woody. I said, ‘Can I give it to myself anyway?’ They said, ‘I don’t think that’s a good idea.’”

- snip -

The president’s assessment that he should receive the nation’s highest award for acts of military valor followed his statement earlier Wednesday afternoon that he is “the chosen one” in relation to his administration’s trade conflict with China — a proclamation he turned to the sky to deliver.

Trump never served in the military and was granted five draft deferments — four for college and one for bone spurs in his heel.

9. Whenever Pete Buttigieg opens his mouth, I'm impressed. This weekend I visited with a former Republican relative...

...who I would have never thought would speak well of a gay man, and that former Republican told me he hoped Pete would be President some day.

10. Donald Trump is lower than scum.

16. My dad was a lieutenant on the aircraft carrier St Lo.

He got the Distinguished Service medal for his part
in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

And you know what? He never showed it to us kids
or talked about it.

All he ever said was that the heroes were the ones
who died.

At his funeral the Navy did a very fine ceremony
with the gun salute.

It moved us all greatly, and it was a complete
surprise to me because he was alwasy so humble
about his service.

17. Trump has never sacrificed for anything or anyone
