Why can't this cynical, shallow POS just leave things alone?

Is this satire?

It should surprise no one that Trump wants to end honoring Aneicas veterans and shift the focus to jingoistic bullsh--. We all already know what he thinks about the people who risk it all to protect our country.

Trump is messing with this trivia to stroke his ego in the face of his ongoing and accelerating economic and foreign policy failures.

The man is transparent: pretending to make a difference is the same as making a difference in his little mind.

The demented orange pedo is so desperate to be Putin.

If Trump had been President during WW2 then the US would have partnered with Germany.

Not a single Republican voice speaking out against the propaganda onslaught.

Elon could save lots of money just by honoring living veterans in wars we won.

#15: Felon Musk, or any one of the legion of oligarchs in the US, could end poverty in America like a light switch. If any lone billionaire gave one million dollars to every person or family in the US, poverty would instantly end forever. One billion is one thousand million or 1,000,000,000. US population = 346,967,713 people, so that would mean a donation of $346,967,713. The billionaire would still have over $653 million left over. If the oligarch is a multi-billionaire, they still would still be swimming in opulence with their wealth.

Congress established Veterans Day as November 11 by statute. www.law.cornell.edu

It's concerning there are not media reports about Congress pushing back.

I knew several veterans who gave their all. whose names are on the Wall, they were our best and brightest, and Trump and his gang are our worst. They are out to destroy our democracy one institution at a time.

As much as I hesitate to agree with Frum, he is on point here:

Political commentator and The Atlantic writer David Frum wrote: "Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, 'Victory Day' falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American."

Russian author Nina Byzantina said: "Russia's Victory Day celebrates the Soviet victory in WWII, in which the Red Army was responsible for approximately 75% of Nazi German losses. As they say, imitation is the best form of flattery!"

So we dropped 2 nukes after we won? Awesome.

Thinking of the men of my high school class who died in combat in Vietnam , thinking of the men who I met and served with in the Marines who served in Vietnam, many of who were wounded/ killed in combat.
They served as they were asked, they risked their lives, and they trusted their government...time to remember their service.
Think of all those on the Vietnam Veterans Wall in Washington D.C....

"So we dropped 2 nukes after we won? Awesome."

We dropped nukes in Germany? AFTER Nazi Germany was defeated?

See? Now that's why I come here. These are things you just cannot learn anywhere in our public schools or apparently in any of our schools these days.

The First World War is what Fred Trumpf's father avoided when he fled Bavaria to become a whore-monger in the Yukon.
