President Trump: "Who the hell wants to speak about politics when I'm in front of the boy scouts?"

Edit. I changed the subject line.

Replying to @BraddJaffy

Trump is the antithesis of all that the Boy Scouts stand for and represent!

My (60+ yr Eagle/OA) husband is even more disgusted that Trump is speaking to them than I am. I asked him if the founder would be spinning in his grave and his reply was, "like a top".

I can't believe the BSA invited him to speak there. I swear their brains went for a walk a few decades ago. I had a bit of hope when they changed their policy on gay leaders, etc but this just killed that.

One doesn't generally curse when speaking to the Boy Scouts. Who raised this moron, anyway??

If I had a child in the Boy Scouts, I wouldn't let them listen to that clown barking insanity and vitriol.

It's probably called the Putin Youth. Trump should speak to them.
