Manufactured Outrage of Rightwing Veteran Organizations: Remember Trump say about POW/MIA: "I like people who weren’t captured.”

[Procrustes Stretched]

Did trump claim to fight in Vietnam?

No, but he has made some pretty weird claims:

Trump: ‘I always felt that I was in the military’​

Donald Trump did not serve in the military, but according to a report, the Republican presidential candidate and multibillionaire business tycoon said in a forthcoming book that he still “always felt that I was in the military” because he attended a military boarding school and “dealt with those people.”

According to an upcoming biography and interview excerpts shared with The New York Times, Trump said that his five years at the New York Military Academy provided him with “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.”

Let's see exactly what was said:

Appearing on Saturday at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, the real estate mogul took his running feud with Arizona Sen. John McCain to a new level.

“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

The remarks, which came after days of back-and-forth between McCain and Trump, were met with scattered boos.

McCain, a former Navy pilot, spent roughly five-and-half years in a notorious North Vietnamese prison known as the “Hanoi Hilton,” where he was repeatedly tortured. He spent two of those years in solitary confinement.

At a press availability following his remarks, Trump denied saying that McCain isn’t a war hero and said, “If somebody’s a prisoner, I consider them a war hero.”

He also continued his attacks on the Arizona senator, saying, “I think John McCain’s done very little for the veterans. I’m very disappointed in John McCain.”

Trump said something that a little later he says he never said. Sound familiar? Do we get to pick and choose what we want to hear him having said? Of course Trump did say "If somebody’s a prisoner, I consider them a war hero.” but we know that is after he said “He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

How can Trump claim to respect POW/MIA after that? But more importantly what about the m.o of rightwing Vet organizations (they do not speak for all vets)? "m.o.?" you ask. m.o. - manufactured outrage


Manufactured Outrage:
Organizations with agendas come out during election seasons. No, not average orgs, but vet orgs who do not speak for everyone, yet dare anyone to step into their lines of fire. They will assassinate your service (if any) your character, your family history, your patriotism...

Trump thinks vets are suckers and losers.

My vet was huffing horse pills so maybe Trump has a point

You'll get over it, if not I don't care. Walz is a coward

McCain was a globalist scumbag and a traitor.

You've just described Trump. He has properties and hotels in various countries. That's the very definition of a globalist.

That John McCain was a douche bag is really not contested point amongst those who are conservatives in the state.

What is also true is that this kind of 'whataboutism' is your basic function on this board. You are obviously on a mission to deflect from the hundreds of issues Harris could get nailed on.

Nothing.

He's a paid hack (and someone is getting ripped off).

The guy is dead, but he actually saw combat unlike some who claim to.

 

[MarcATL]

It's when he said this and the flock cheered that I knew we were headed to cult territory.

I remember the freakin' moment.

When I saw Fatboy say that he could kill someone on Fifth Avenue and his fans would still love him, and then only to have his fans double-down on his support, I knew we were screwed due to cultish behavior.

I'm working on it.

It will be stopped when Trump is vanquished come November.
