2. Cadet Bone Spurs in combat uniform?

The clown should be wearing an orange jumpsuit with handcuffs and leg-restraints!

4. Good God! I couldn't agree more!

What is it with this demented people who see him as just the opposite of what he actually is?? He obviously has no regard for our troops and has never made a secret of it. Not only did he lie about and ignore these soldiers who suffered traumatic brain injuries, he ignored reports of bounties placed on active troops and at the D-Day commemoration, he referred those who gave their lives in war as "losers and suckers." Do these people who see him as he's depicted here live under a rock??

BTW, I looked up this horrific excuse for a painting and it was painted by a moran named Jon McNaughton and it's a portrait of his most admired presidents, with TFG in the lead. At first I thought the one on the left was Bannon...

Left to right: Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, George Washington, Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy

3. tRump and six white guys. And of course, crap painting by Jon McNaughton

The six white guys are supposed to be presidents.

And of course he commandeers John F. Kennedy. There is saint reagan, President Abraham Lincoln, President Teddy Roosevelt and two white haired dudes.

But not Bush or shrub Bush, two presidents who actually served in some capacity, HWBush in WWII. Trumpanzees hate the Bushes, think they are tight allies with the Clintons.

Perhaps Kennedy is there for the sake of the Qonned.

5. Thanks, I looked them up. It's this moran's most admired presidents

Left to right: Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, George Washington, Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy.

Talk about apples and oranges, President Kennedy was a war hero, one of those "losers and suckers" that TFG has talked about. Reagan played one in the movies and though I was no fan of Reagan, I think this would make him ill. And at first I thought the one on the left was Bannon. It was founding father and slaveholder Thomas Jefferson.

6. Is this painting a depiction of Trump leading the total destruction of our country?

It sure looks that way. I would think a burned out desolated landscape would be the last thing you would want to equate with a president, but what do I know?

7. he was a coward

trump that is, and never served. He denigrated American service personnel at every turn. And this, Normandy Remembrance of the D-Day dead and wounded. And then to have Gen. Milley kissing his upside-down bible-thumping ass, I was just through. Even though the General later admitted error in that photo op of the former guy, I wonder how much military personnel took his walk with trump to heart.

The damage that trump and his administration caused the American people who love unity, equality, decency, and compassion will take a long time to heal, if ever.

8. Yet I believe TFG has a Purple Heart. Hand to him at a rally by a veteran. TFG replied.....

.... "Thanks, I always wanted one of them". Imagine the arrogance and it took to think he deserved it.
