the orange asshole probably thought the veteran was genuflecting to his orange greatness.

Strong statement this vet made for all of us.
Sadly, I guarantee that tRump thought the gentleman was bowing down to him.

(58,785 posts)11. Can't search on picture. Anyone know if this man was demonstrating alone,
or was part of a group? It's a fine action in any case, smart, principled man making a smart, principled statement.
But if he's alone and didn't need the support of a group, well, how many of us have done or would do that? Such a little bit of a special type of courage needed, but rare.
