Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
Every single one of them that voted for Trump or didn’t vote, got what they deserve. They voted for the leopard eating faces, and now the leopard is on them.
The ones that voted against Trump are the only ones I can really feel sorry for.
Fuck Americans that failed to vote against Trump.Trump is a malignant narcissist, and that was very clear before the election, it was also clear before he was elected the first time.
If you want a malignant narcissist as leader of your country, you are not right in the head.240+ days not nearly long enough…I wonder how many times he’s played golf during that time.
This is what you get for electing a weakling with bone spurs.
It says a lot that conservatives/regressives chose a felon rapist pedo weakling as the person to represent them.
I say this is a former army officer. The military will vote for another Republican as long as that Republican is standing up there mouthing thank the troops bullshit. Fuck Trump fuck everybody that voted for this mother fucker.
How much you wanna bet the majority of personnel on that aircraft carrier would still happily vote for trump’s successor (Vance? Trump again, illegally? A festering maggotty sack of feces? Anyone with an [R] next to their name?) in 2028?
MAGA people never learn.
A lot of the military loves deployments. You get extra pay that’s untaxed, which help you buy that new jeep renegade. Deployments also allow you to get over the dreaded e6 hump and become a platoon leader.
One of the most basic lessons of Christianity is the need to ask for forgiveness. Trump once held up a bible for a photo op, we keep hearing rumblings of Christian Nationalism apparently from this current administration, and Trump now declares, “I’ll never apologize.” That’s about as anti-Christian as a message can be.
It is also a key feature of narcissism. Donnie not apologizing is not the least bit surprising.
It won’t even be surprising to his rabid Christofascist base. They already believe their “holier than thou” schtick puts them above apologizing.
That kind of narrative is perfect for a narcissist, by the way: the “I’m not perfect, I’m forgiven” is a great way to get out of ever apologizing for your behavior, here, in reality - “I worked it out with Jesus” is handing narcissists a perfect cop-out, since narcissists will do nearly anything but ever give a genuine apology to another human being.
Anyone that has ever had to deal with a narcissist has probably noticed they will almost never apologize.
If people chose a liar to rule the country, then they have to live with the consequences.
That’s about as anti-Christian as a message can be.
Yeah but their political cult leader trumps (pun intended) their religious cult. So they’re willing to give up their religious convictions for checks notes a non-religious felon rapist pedophile.
Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that once Trump is dead and gone our problems will be over. Trump is an incompetent fool but there are quite a few very smart people behind him now, and there will continue to be these people when he is either dead or out of office that will be doing everything in their power to sustain aspects of this administration they find useful.
If those people were capable then they’d be in power without a useful idiot like DJT. Once DJT is dead the low IQ morons that plague this country will go back to not participating in elections like they did prior to 2016.
will go back to not participating in elections like they did prior to 2016.
As much as I wish this to be the case - there are too many con-men/women that have seen what trump has done and how much money he as stolen from taxpayers that there will now always be some crazy ass candidate that will try to anger up the stupids to vote for them.
True. Very true.
But we’ll never have to hear this low IQ rapist pedo’s dipshit opinions ever again. And that’ll be real nice. Imagine not hearing that flatulent voice anymore. Imagine not seeing his redneck name printed everywhere. Gonna be supreme.
As far as functionally, we may get lucky and see a lot of his cultists refrain from voting in the future cuz the good ol’ days are gone and no one else is living up to their cult leader desires.
Our problems won’t nearly be over, but a dangerous cult leader will be worm food, and that’s a real good thing.
Was anyone expecting him to? Has he ever apologized for anything in his 80 years on this planet?
I don’t think he has. Maybe to his father after his father beat him.
Maybe to Bubba
The guy never seems to have a legit smile or laugh about something, either. Unless it is to laugh at someone else’s pain. Even in his photo ops with that stupid thumbs-up, it is really a grimace.
I really hope the current military is seeing this, as well as all those vets who have to wear grunt style tshirts everywhere they go and plaster veteran/military decals all over their cars.
he. Does. NOT. Care. About. YOU!
That ship should have sailed when he mocked John McCain, a guy that spent 6 years in a POW camp after being shot down over Vietnam. In a sane world, he’d lose the military vote right then and there, forever.
In a sane world the vets who actually give a shit would have jumped ship when the pedo pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington, and had his people assault an Army employee, for a photo op
It’s a very, very mad world we live in
I really hope the current military is seeing this
There’s a pretty long list of occasions where Trump has insulted the military as a whole as well as individual members of the military and it appears the average military service member either isn’t aware or is neck deep in the cult so Dear Leader is always right.
Dammit…im am so fucking tired if this piece of shit
Some of you may die but, that’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Can we please impeach this fuckass alreafy
Doesn’t matter if it’s made an official holiday by the government. The people of this nation (world) are gonna make it a national (international) holiday by sheer force of will.
I’ll celebrate it like Christmas every year. I’ll call in sick every year on the day if I have to.
Let’s put him on one for that many days without his creature comforts and see what he thinks after that.
During COVID, i did 195 days on an out of service cruise ship. The isolation was unreal.
