Trump says presidential civilian award is 'better' than top military honor whose recipients are 'dead' or 'hit' by bullets

(2,081 posts)Which is why I have consistently characterized him as "the Anti-Mr. Rogers". Never mind the Anti-Christ, you don't have to hold a single supernatural belief to see how he drags down those who oppose him as well as those who support him.
And if Joe Biden's administration were a fraction as corrupt and self-aggrandizing as Trump and his cronies, then I would have been awarded a Medal of Freedom already for cleverly summing up the essence of his personality.
I have also referred to Trump as the Star Trek V* of presidents, but "the Anti-Mr. Rogers" thing has broader cultural accessibilty.

But lately its become more apparent why she has decided to throw her support behind Trump.
In a recent profile in New York magazine, Adelson suggested that she might want Trump to push for the annexation of the occupied West Bank if he wins a second term described in the piece as unfinished Israel business from Trumps presidency.

And, of course, Trump can't help but take a derogatory shot at our nations soldiers in the process.
Note: a dildo is a mindless fucker.

(55,334 posts)When I first heard this, I thought for sure it was a bogus quote or a parody of some sort, playing off his well documented history of disparaging military service and the sacrifices of American soldiers, sailors, and Marines.
Well, the old dog put one over on me once again. He really is that clueless in how horrible his true feelings of contempt for honorable people are. You can't be that ignorant without a lifetime of practice, I guess.
