Once again, Trump embarrassed himself (to which he is oblivious) and appalled everyone else. Re: his D-Day comment.

[Swede]

Let that sink in: a sitting U.S. president, meeting with the leader of modern Germany, downplayed the defeat of Nazism. Because he doesn’t know any better. Because he doesn’t care. Because, in his rotted worldview, winners are strong, losers are weak, and history is just a PR obstacle. Trump doesn’t honor D-Day because he doesn’t understand it. There’s no grift in sacrifice. No spotlight in humility. No Trump Tower on Omaha Beach.
We’re not just dealing with ignorance. We’re dealing with someone who turns our national legacy into an open-mic night for fascist nostalgia. This was a moment to reaffirm shared values, to remember the blood and bravery that made freedom possible. Instead, Trump turned it into a punchline—and got punched back by a German bureaucrat with receipts.

1. Trump thinks the American soldiers on D Day were suckers and losers.

Walking into a situation where they would be killed.

The idea of patriotism, fighting for democracy and freedom are totally off his radar screen.

5. Unforgivable

That not one republican has ever rebuked their draft dodging casino hustler for demeaning, our soldiers and veterans by calling them “suckers and losers “. That’s the most cowardly and disgusting thing. Any Republican has ever said. They should hang their heads in shame.

9. They have no shame.

Because they are ruthless greedy rich psychopaths they think they are brilliant
and the best thing that every happened to the world.

The rest of us are worthless eaters and suckers/losers.

2. I disagree

He is a Nazi white supremacist with known KKK relatives

3. He looked at Merz with a gotcha with that one smirk

And then Merz promptly dunked on him. That’s what everyone but the cult and our pliant media saw.

6. The dunk was even better given the height

11. Thank you. I wondered when someone would mention that.

7. Trump family members could have been at Normandy. On the cliffs above, looking down.

8. (From MSNBC) "Trump wrote about Arlington National Cemetery:

'As we drove past the rows of white grave markers … I also thought of … all the sacrifices we’d have to make — giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals.'"

Trump only thinks of his money. He sees the military as a useful tool to further his business interests, and for honoring himself.

10. Dumpy doesn't honor D-Day because he is a notsee. He didn't only downplay D-Day, he opposed it.
