"Trump is a five time draft dodger, his father got a podiatrist who owed him a favor to say little Donnie had “bone spurs”. Trump has said soldiers were suckers and losers, and asked “what was in it for them?” while looking at a vast military graveyard. Any soldier that has taken the oath to support and defend the Constitution should not obey any illegal or unethical orders issued by this immoral lying traitor." - WaPo comment
The recent news (UK Independent) on Trump's West Point speech i.e
Would have made my WW II vet dad puke his guts out. I can imagine what dad - who fought in the Pacific (and died in 2009) - would have said on reading that piece:
"What the hell is a damned draft dodger and convicted felon doing giving a speech at a service academy anyway? How the hell did he even get elected being a damned felon? Praising Capone in the speech? He ought to be impeached just for that!"
No doubt his ire would especially have reached boiling point after reading in the piece:
"Last spring, he also made history by becoming the first criminally convicted former president.
“I was investigated more than the great late Alphonse Capone,” Trump told the West Point graduates. ... I went through more investigations than Alphonse Capone, and now I'm talking to you as president. Can you believe this?”
No, dad - who died sixteen years earlier- would never have believed Americans could be so crass, short- sighted, self-serving and foolish to vote a felon into the highest office. No matter what he promised in an election campaign. He fought World War II under FDR's presidency so why would he believe people could descend to such a warped level?
Dad after coming home in 1945.
Unlike Trump, who ran from service using the ruse of "bonespurs", Dad volunteered as a nineteen-year-old and joined the Army before Pearl Harbor. He then ended up fighting in the Battle Of Buna - Gona in New Guinea. He lived to relate his war experiences in a diary which I read from time to time. One image he sketched is shown below :

But let’s not forget Trump's new nickname: TACO — "Trump Always Chickens Out" - a mocking label used by Wall Street investors that this coward always blinks when pushback occurs on his tariffs. The term was created in response to his pattern of announcing steep new tariffs on the United States' trading partners then backing down when opponents (like China – which holds most of our bond debt - stood their ground.
But I suspect the label applies not only to his tariff policy but also to his foreign policy. What do you expect, as dad would ask, from a draft dodger?
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Trump spent some time with the people he called suckers and losers of both the future and the past. He delivered the commencement address at West Point, and rambled on for a good hour reprising the trophy wives and yachts story he told the Boy Scouts back in 2017 and boasting about his felonies, saying, "I went through more investigations than Alphonse Capone, and now I'm talking to you as president, can you believe this?" This was his lesson in perseverance to the graduates: no matter how many crimes you commit, you too can become president.
He said he didn't have time to do the traditional handshake of the graduating seniors because he's dealing with important national security issues in Russia and China. Luckily, he is able to do that from the golf course where he was seen later that afternoon.
The next day, he delivered a Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery in which he shared with all the people who were there mourning their loved ones that he was glad that he hadn't won his second term until now because he "got the World Cup and the Olympics." I'm sure that was very comforting.
U.S. President Donald Trump opened Memorial Day in the most disgusting way possible, not by praising our fallen heroes but by attacking Democrats. He wrote on his Nazi-infested social media site on Monday morning:
Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through warped radical left minds…
When the President of the United States calls members of the oldest political party in the world and a former president “scum,” it’s not just another ugly outburst that embarrasses America before the rest of the world: It’s a warning sign. A bright red flag.
It tells us that something far more sinister than partisan posturing is afoot. Something our media has already decided to overlook in their perpetual effort to normalize the abominable.
