Of course. Donald Trump despises the military and has no respect for them.
The fact that hes convinced some of them of the opposite is just, sad and pathetic.

(3,254 posts)That Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent has no respect for. He detests everyone who doesnt bow, yield, and kneel at his feet. Such an entitled prick.

(1,767 posts)Trumps campaign spokesman blames cemetery staff: for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony.
