S.E. Cupp Calls Out Trump for Airing His Grievances to Troops While in the Comfy Confines of His Own Resortby Tamar Auber | Nov 24th, 2018, 6:36 pm
S.E. Cupp started off her CNN show on Saturday by slamming President Donald Trump for airing his grievances during a phone call with the military stationed abroad.
Thanksgiving or Festivus? While you were stuffing yourselves full of turkey, watching football with friends and trying to avoid talking politics with your family on Thanksgiving, President Trump was celebrating another kind of holiday tradition the airing of grievances, Cupp said.
Festivus is, of course, the holiday from Seinfeld that includes the airing of grievances and a Festivus pole.
Cupp added that in a call that was traditionally meant to thank servicemen and women, Trump instead seemed to borrow from the Seinfeld holiday and decided to talk about how unfairly he has been treated.
Now, its hard enough to imagine this bizarre self-aggrandizing display being performed with our armed service men and women as unwitting props in Trumps airing of grievances, she continued on. Now imagine it happening from the comfy confines of the family resort in Mar-a-Lago, where the president got some R&R, played some golf around was regaled by music from the Phantom of the Opera in his lavish ballroom, while a world away, fathers and mothers are separated from their families for months at a time risking their lives every day just to keep us safe.

Better late than never, I guess.

Amazed how she has become CNNs Nicolle Wallace. Actually had a decent show.

(37,648 posts)He's not pro-military. Never has been. He is pro-uniform, and pro-showmanship, so he likes to have "his military' put on a show. But he knows nothing about war or the military, and knows nothing about being working class or middle class, which is who makes up most of the military. He doesn't care about military people at all.
