As I see Jerome Corsi, swiftboat liar and no slouch as a fraud in his own right, the problem comes into focus. A large segment of our population wants to be lied to.

I don't think anything hurts me more than when a "conservative" calls me racist, and I know they are gaslighting me. I do have racist thoughts and overcoming that requires heavy doses of shame and humility. I can see how some might take an easier path.

The only person they respect is themselves. The world has to revolve around them. They always have to have things their way. There is no compromise, it's their way or the highway! Make no mistake trump is a narcissist.

I'll include every Republican office-holder who continues to bend the knee to the Emperor Trump as being in contempt of veterans. Senator Lindsey Graham likes to strut around flashing his military bona fides; why isn't he weighing in on Trump's failures?

wave the flag. Bullshit on them, absolutely nothing patriotic about them. Graham, is revolting. Totally unpatriotic and a major ass kissing sycophant.

16. Punishing them for not getting his parade

I can't believe the media hasn't put this together yet. Trump's military parade was supposed to be this weekend, for Veteran's day. The military told him no, so he's punishing them. Not only by ignoring Veteran's Day, but maybe by deploying troops to the border for the Holiday.

His treatment of the Kahn (gold star) family and John McCain during the 2016 campaign should have made it obvious how he felt about veterans and active duty military.

Still, they cheer him on. Go figure.

They mean nothing to him except for props.
But, then, Trump doesn't care about anyone but, himself
