There are dozens of black POW/MIA flags still flying in my area. None of those people seem to care that Trump 'likes soldiers who don't get captured.'

Didn't he also make fun of dead soldiers at a cemetery?

I can't keep up with all his horrible actions. I know he blew off the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1 because it was raining, then had a photo op of him going to Arlington in the rain.

After Election night 2016 and into late 2019, I was saying 'I can't believe this...' pretty much every day.

It’s the same 2018 one - but it comes from insiders and there’s not a video

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
