“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” was President Donald Trump’s reprehensible response to a cemetery full of American war dead. Most of those buried there were killed at the prime of their lives and left many cherished loved ones behind.
I think that Trump’s statement is a succinct, very pertinent and disgusting summary of our Commander-in-Chief’s condescending view of the members of our military and likely any of those who perform public service for our country. In November, consider his nauseating sense of values before you vote!
