It Made Me Sick To My Stomach To See Trump At Arlington Cemetary....

today. A draft dodging treasonous bastard who only cares about himself delivered a speech written by someone else to make him look presidential. There is no sincerity there. He just went thru the motions. And what further sickened me is people actually applauded him.

Let's just say it would have taken 10 guys to save Cheeto's draft-dodging ass.

Like Kelly and McMaster he has become nothing more then an ass kissing suck up! And he'll keep lapping away as long as he's allowed to kill civilians in his scorched earth policy regarding ISIL!!!

Don't praise a man who is about to launch total war that will result in an increase in civilian deaths...and in the end will only assist in recruiting more fanatics for ISIL...which means more attacks like the one in Manchester!!!

He looked as though it was taking every once of his being to keep himself form grabbing that teleprompter and beating the pulp out of him.

That said, I 'm very much with you on your point. It seems Mattis has found another outlet for those violent impulses of his: the Syrian people.

The two Bushes committed enough human rights atrocities for 10 Nürnberg trials - and it looks as though Cheeto is following in their tradition.

In fact, I avoided the news all day.. first pic I saw was here on DU.. looks like donnie having a six year old moment during the national anthem, but he did put his hand over his heart. So presidential.
Hope he goes home and chokes on a big mac.

I can't think of anyone....ANYONE....who was a worse choice than him. I still can't believe or accept that he's in our White House. Makes me ill.

Being at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day is not one of them. As horrible as he is, he is still the President of the United States, and his presence meant a lot to the families there who had lost loved ones.

He's making a mockery of everything that the presidency stands for, while the republicans are destroying our government institutions and everything that really makes America great. The republicans and conspiracy theorists think the government is a joke. It's far from a joke, and everything they do has serious consequences.

I watched that video of him lip syncing the national anthem and prancing about like a 5 year-old earlier today, and I couldn't have been more disgusted. I am the daughter of a 30 year career Army officer and I am deeply offended by the Traitor's antics. This was most certainly not the occasion for him to pull one of his "look at me!" childish displays, but of course, he couldn't resist.

be allowed there who said what he did in that Howard Stern interview that dodging venereal disease was his own personal Vietnam. It is absolute sickening that he was even there.

I was yelling at my TV last night. What a freaking bullshit artist he is, he doesn't care at all about those who lost their lives. He only thinks about himself, hasn't he proved that already? I hate this stupid man.
