Biden Condemns Trump’s Reported Insults of Fallen Soldiers

If what is written in The Atlantic is true, it’s disgusting and it affirms what most of us believe to be true: that Donald Trump is not fit to do the job of president — be the commander in chief. If these statements are true, the president should humbly apologize to every Gold Star mother and father and every Blue Star family that he’s denigrated and insulted. Who the heck does he think he is? Is it true? Well, we’ve heard from his own mouth his characterizations of an American hero — John McCain — as a “loser” in 2015. Donald Trump said he was not a war hero. “I like people who weren’t captured.” Well, good for him. And his dismissal of the traumatic brain injuries suffered by troops serving in Iraq as mere headaches — not too long ago. He stood by — failing, failing to take action or even raise the issue with Vladimir Putin, while the Kremlin puts bounties on the heads of American troops in Afghanistan. Duty, honor, country, these are values that drive our servicemembers — it’s an all voluntary outfit. President Trump has demonstrated he has no sense of service, no loyalty to any cause other than himself.
