    Color me 0% surprised. One of the biggest whoppers Trump supporters have said, 100% seriously, is that Trump loves this country and the military. There aren't enough laugh emojis in the entire world to express the profound joke those statements are. Trump doesn't love this country or the military. He loves himself and everything else is a means to an end, which for him is attention. So if it isn't about him, he doesn't give a ****. Honoring soldiers is very much about the soldiers and not Trump so naturally he has no interest whatsoever in them.

    You're insane if you believe what you just said. Under Obama, we were literally shutting down Guard/Reserve units and lacking necessary training supplies. Under Trump, the military is growing and we are actually getting resources that we haven't had before.

    Shame on you, buddy. But I don't fault you. Civilians don't actually know how the military works.

    Also, if you read the entire thing, Trump didn't say what the Atlantic is claiming. It's click bait. lol

    The fact that you cannot make a substantial case for Trump is clearly evident, which is why Trump is truly the most idiotic politician ever since he has done literally nothing to expand his base.

    They only originate the funding bill. They do not "fund the military".

    In 1997 said on the Howard Stern that avoiding STD's was his personal Vietnam. I think Vietnam is a sore spot for him and that explains much of his animosity toward McCain and Mueller. Even in his prenup with Marla Maples it was stipulated that if their child ever volunteered to serve in the military or the Peace Corps, she would be cut off. Apparently Don Jr. got the same ultimatum when he expressed a desire to enlist. Big bucks won out.

    Military funds come from the federal budget. Congress is in charge of the federal budget, which has the power to collect taxes, borrow money and approve spending. One of the things the govt spends money on is....the military. As in, appropriating x amount to the military. How do you not know this?

    "Four unnamed sources."

    All four of which were the ass of the man who wrote that article.

    The house only writes the original bill. It is approved by the president and the senate. However, the house does not write the bill from scratch. They get inputs from the various agencies including the department of defense.

    You are claiming that only the house has responsibility for the budget. If that were true, then Trump would have no responsibility for the deficit.

    John Bolton, who is no friend of Trump, says he was there and did not believe it was true.

    I never claimed only the House has responsibility for the budget. I stated Congress does. You DO realize Congress is made up of the House AND the Senate, right? Please tell me you know this.

    So I guess no veteran who is still proud of his/her uniform would vote for Trump now.

    Trump turns everything he touches into crap. Now it's "giving your life for your country" that he wants to turn into worthless. Why would anybody want to be in the military while this creep is commander in chief?

    Are you claiming Trump has no responsibility for the deficit?

    By the way. I went through the process. As I said before, the house, senate and president sign off on the budget.

    John Bolton, who was there said he did not believe it was true. Also, Bolton said Kelley recommended they not attend the ceremony because of the weather. They were supposed to helicopter to the ceremony.

    This story is plain BS, beginning to end.

    Trump puts his signature on it. What an accomplishment. You must be part of the participation trophy crowd.

    Therefore Trump has no responsibility for the deficit?

    The horrible things said, that they are attributing to Trump, could only be said by someone who literally hates and despises the military, to a level I cannot comprehend. And yet they expect us to believe that is how Trump feels. It's complete and utter horse ****.

    His shady dealings on the value of his Atlantic City Casinos led to the collapse of that economy and hurt many local residents (American Citizens) and sub-contractors.

    His shady dealings on his University led to his hurting a number of young American students - so much so that he was forced to make a large cash settlement.

    But you'll forgive him for hurting other Americans because you're so heavily emotionally invested in the Trump Brand that he could literals shoot someone and you would find a way to rationalize it.

    And please, don't bother with the " ... but, but, Obama" defense. It's old.

    While Quid Pro Joe was lying about his college career and dodging drafts, he plagerized himself into Congress and the White House by sending our boys to his endless wars

    The Atlantic article has been proven to be full of lies. Real reporters have done FOIA requests that show the article and the sources lied.

    Peter Strzok Promotes Debunked Atlantic Story Against Trump, But Gets Dropped on His Head by the White House

    People seriously need to learn from the bald faced lies by deep state sources and the media. Didn't Russian collusion teach them anything?

    Just because a news site verifies the same sources, does not mean they did not lie.
