“None of this washes. The military is not stupid. When the military is in Syria, in Mali, in Somalia, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, the military knows. Hey, we’re here, Mr. President!” says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on Trump’s false claim that he ended “endless wars.” Aired on 09/07/2020.

The chaos this “president” causes is exhausting.
@Linda Scott https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-arrival-united-states-december-2020-6
@Michael so what, how is that relevant to the utter failure of this government to deal with the pandemic?
Logical fallacy of the Red Herring, irrelevant.
@Michael I waa talking about when we knew people started dying from Covid19, that doesn’t contradict that unknown cases were here before. But it certainly shows how ineffective the travel ban was. Lol you keep proving my point for me.
Whatever you claim to do for the government clearly doesn’t require much logical thinking.
@Linda Scott you are free to
Leave
@Michael you are free to stop wasting my tax dollars.
Lol you can’t argue with anything I said.
Sorry Mr President, you’ve lost that ground.
@Whicker Boy Why are Democrats evil? Do you even know why you supposedly hate Democrats?
@Yugi Yami § 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.
(a) Inducement or coercion of benefits. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.
Because saying it on tv makes it true
@Linda Scott behold when people are dumb enough to say a comment that simply says “trump 2020” is “copy and paste” “spam”
@Protex Blue my god, the sheer idiocy of saying that other news outlets parroting the original story are “confirming it”
Let’s be honest, deep down, we all know he said it. They’ll never admit it to themselves, but even his supporters know he said it.
Obama visited our Troops overseas 7 times. That’s not even counting the multiple times he visited our troops at military bases here in America during the holidays. Obama visited our troops in Iraq just 3 months after taking office. Traitor Trump waited TWO WHOLE YEARS before he visited our troops for the first time in Iraq. And that was only after he was pushed to do so by advisers.
I have no doubt that Trump complained about having to make that trip to visit our troops the same way he complained about attending the memorial ceremony for our fallen in France.
Trump: “Why do I have to fly all the way to Iraq just to visit troops. They’re a bunch of losers anyway.”
And then when he finally made the trip, he turned that visit into a campaign rally for himself and used our troops as political props. Trump continues to show his contempt for our men and women in uniform with his silence concerning the Russian bounties placed on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan. To this day, he has not uttered one word about it. NOT…..ONE.
I knew back in 2016 before the election that Trump had no respect for our military the moment he said he knew more about fighting wars than our Generals do. He basically claimed to know more about fighting wars than Generals like Grant, Patton, Washington, MacArthur, Eisenhower, as well as our current living Generals like Mattis. This preposterous claim came from a draft dodger who has NEVER served one day in the military.
It goes without saying, that ONLY a vindictive draft dodging traitor, who has nothing but contempt for the men and women in our military, would utter something as outrageous and insulting as that. That was all I needed to hear.
@Whicker Boy you can’t.be STUPID?????? Bet your a basement dweller
Deep down you know your misrable from the leftest idealogy that blinds you from logic and fills you with hate
BUT…he has a medal from NYMA for”having the cleanest locker”.
@Tsukoyomi Light So you’re saying Google is spying on you, specifically, to target an algorithm to give you certain biased results on your search? How paranoid are you? Or are you just believing conspiracy theories without checking for yourself?

TRUMP/PENCE!!!
@Bonaoa Aoaiia 🖕🖕🖕🖕
Daily Reminder: Trump called Corona Virus a Democrat Hoax that will “magically” disappear.
@David Eby America hates Trump.
@Ice 247 Cool story comrade, how much is a pint of vodka in Moscow?
@Vote Blue You are welcome. Stay safe.
@Auntie Pha
You too:)
@Vote Blue 🙂
This needs to be played from now until November!!! The man is a complete disgrace and danger to our nation period!!!
Not just a danger to the U.S. but a danger to the rest of the world if he wins another term.
Fact’s
@Jay Buck That is so true!!
wowhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
@Jay Buck Vote. And make sure it is counted and not bypassed.
He did nothing about the bounty on American troops. How can you keep him in power???
the military cheered trump when it was found out that putin was killing our soldiers
Trump is a communist traitor and murderer of the American people!
Because there is a bounty on the US working man?
What bounty?
Because his voters give excuses as to why trump should not be president. I am not a great fan of Biden but Donald has more personal problems that he can’t keep quiet.
it is those who voted for the Donald in 2016…
who are the real “suckers”…
and those voting for him in 2020…
are the real “losers”…
His enablers are fools who are uneducated And low morals like Trump. Get. Clue your client is goin down the sewers. Flush his ars in November.
Right
I didn’t vote for him then and I will not VOTE for him now.
He doesn’t like McCain because he was a hero in the war and stood up for Obama Care
MOOSELIGHTNING !! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂
Welcome back!
Ever consider what the word HATRED re-arranged looks like🤔
Try RED HAT..!!
David Matthew Well Done. 👍🏻🏴🇨🇦
@Dave Smith Dearth Hatred
Trump is Darth Vader incarnate..
@seumas Broderick – Except Darth Vader didn’t fantasize about an incestuous trist with his daughter.
@Alfredo Lopez Darth Vader-Princess Leia mmm
Wow, well said
It’s not about convincing the military, it’s about him convincing all the idiots who think they support the military without understanding what that means.
@Bunker Boy How many times didBiden dodge the draft?I know he didn’t serve.
@David Eby Trump doesn’t care about you or what you have to say, he calls his supporters idiots and easy to manipulate!
Two thumbs up Tim. Short and sweet thanks.
As soon as Trump tells the truth about the Washington war mongers, they go into a panic and start making up fake news about Trump. This piece is complete BS and poorly delivered as well.
@raymond schulz Trump is distracting you. It’s not the people in the pentagon that make money off our huge military spending, it’s the lobbyists and the companies in the private sector spending millions (maybe billions long term) to develop new military technology that we probably don’t need. Don’t believe me? Just look up the F-35 production delays.
I will take General Kelly and General Mattis’s word over the lying Fraud in Chief.
I would believe a garden slug over Conald.
@david barlow I’ve seen Swiss Cheese with less holes than the holes in his story.
Trump NEVER lies!
The trouble is, we haven’t heard their word. 40 years in service makes it hard to say bad thngs about the C-in-C, even if he is a Russian asset and a criminal.
So right you are. Kev
GET HIM OUT 2020
Ok we will
I’m down!!
Trump 2020!!!!
BIDEN/HARRIS 2020 🇺🇲
Right
Trump 2020!!!!
Putin offers bounties on American soldiers and Don is fine with that.
You are dumb.
@David Eby You are blind.
@MyrnaMinkoff I assume you are a veteran?
Don’t go to far because you will be cut short. Trump is a draft dodger, coward, a racist a bigot. and a terrible person.
Uh, because he’s a TRAITOR. Duh!

Days without being a national disgrace in office: 0
yea that is clearly not gonne happen, I even started the count.
I am a US Army Vet, I’m with Joe!
ehhjeep Thank you for your service. Stay safe.👍🏻🏴🇨🇦🗽
“You have lost that ground” Vote him out of the office. He’s done.
Stick a fork in him, he’s done.
The banner should read: One and Done.
