Loser Donald Trump: Soldiers 'Taking A Ride' If Hit By An IED

Flashback To When Trump Made Even More Comments About Soldiers 'Taking A Ride' If Hit By An IED





If you thought Donald Trump only started to make terribly offensive comments about American soldiers and veterans recently, you would be wrong. Not only does he lie about donations to veteran causes, but he disparages those that serve by minimizing the risk they put themselves through every day.

No even inside an armored vehicle the person gets TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).

230,000 vets now have this problem.

After a bomb blast a shock wave goes through the air and when it hits a person it compresses
the brain against the skull and that causes TBI.

There aren't words... I can't imagine how the loved ones of people who died on one of those "little rides" feel when they hear him say these things. Not that his personal opinion matters--he's just a gibbering idiot--but there are people in this country (people who would probably describe themselves as super patriotic, no less) who still cheer for him. If I or a loved one had been grievously injured in the war or if I'd lost somebody, the fact that there are members of our society who still approve of him after saying such wicked things would really hurt me.
