Trump’s ‘Joke’ About Dead Soldiers Taints Memorial Day Speech At Arlington: ‘Nothing like making those who died serving their country into a punchline’
Trump’s ‘Joke’ About Dead Soldiers Taints Memorial Day Speech At Arlington: ‘Nothing like making those who died serving their country into a punchline’
“In this sacred soil, which is first consecrated in the hours of America’s greatest division to be eternal symbol, national unity,” he said. “It cannot be by chance alone that the very first service member laid to rest here in this place of supreme sacrifice was a Union soldier by the name of Private Christman. Private William Henry Christman of Pennsylvania, who died, 19 years old. He was a great young man, they say.
“Beside him are more than 18,000 other young men named William, over 20,000 named John, over 13,000 named James — joined over time by Isaac, Elijah, Earls, Hanks, Helens, Juans, Margarets, Marius, Donalds — not too many.”

What a dumb shit

As per the article:
Trump’s Memorial Day address took an off-key tuen when he recounted the history of Arlington National Cemetery. He noted with a giggle that not a lot of men named Donald interred there.

He repeatedly disrespects the armed forces, how any current or former member of these can support him is beyond me.

Is anyone surprised? Crass, obscene and tactless is his whole miserable schtick.

How can the military not see through this?

None of this is surprising in the least. The man has utter contempt for the people of this country and those who serve. He has proven that a thousand times over with words as well as actions.
Him remaining the president after it was proven he raped children with his best friend Epstein is the real punchline. And not in a funny way. In a sick, sad way.
Can’t wait to never hear about or see this motherfucker again.

I see this as resentment. You know he got made fun of for dodging the draft with his flinstone feet.

He could take a dump on dead soldiers grave and it wouldn’t even move the needle anymore.

Because Donald’s are too ‘fraid to go into the service. Hims foot hurts a wittle. (Said in the voice of Tommy Boy)
We wouldn’t need a Memorial Day if it wasn’t for men like him.

Not even remotely funny. I get amused watching his cult pretend they think it’s funny. I like to think they die a little inside when they feign laughter at his completely embarrassing, and off-color attempts at humor.

They are going to have to hide the location of his grave when he croaks

Given his actions & his life, I’d bet $30 cash money, he had a sexual relationship with Roy Cohn.
Roy Cohn; famous for sexual blackmail, rabid personal attacks, unfounded lawsuits & not paying his debts.

Remember, he thinks people who serve in the military are suckers and losers. Remember what he said about John McCain, or the parents of Army Capt. Humayun Khan.

He just can’t go one day without being a national embarrassment.

A true piece of shit just like those who voted for him
Zanos-Ixshlae on
Well, the Ines who voted for him certainly deserve to be a punch line. I’d say anyone who voted for him after January 6th is a joke.

Title made me think the joke was about the taints of dead soldiers.
Ok_Vermicelli_6359 on
Of course he laughs, because considers dead and captured soldiers to be “suckers”, who weren’t smart enough to fake a medical condition to avoid serving their country. Republicans are fucking pigs.

The fact that so many are just fine with a man who avoided military service in his countries time of war standing over the graves of those who did not says alot about the U.S.

Your average troop who votes for him is yet another member of the shockingly large multitude of groups that love this guy despite him hating them.
I just don’t get it.

He just phoned that speech in. Pretty nuts how much he hates the troops

I cannot express how thoroughly unsurprising this is

He’s literally verbalized his disgust with anyone in the military. Losers. And yet if he ran again they would vote for him

Three days ago Trump told CNN that he would be doing more bombing of Iran “just for fun.“
He is a sociopath.

It’s fine! The USA spoke in November 2024, & it was for a racist rapist who’s 100% self serving. He is the pos potus that we deserve.

God is he sickening. When is it going to end

He will mock them, call them names, send them to die, deport their wives… and yet nothing will change and they will still vote for the GOP.

This guy respects no one.

Watch the [video in the article](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-not-too-many-donalds-memorial-day-arlington-national-cemeteryy_n_6a15638ae4b062ca52d4e78c/) or [click here](https://x.com/Acyn/status/2058974018141913447?s=20).
He literally called them losers. Why pretend like anything beyond that is shocking?
“Happy Sucker and Loser Day!!” -Trump
He can barely read. This is embarrassing
We elected the **MAIN CHARACTER**, so no surprise.
Republicans support Trump’s hatred of the military. It’s a simple fact.
Trump has no sense of humor.
