He has really crossed the line here. I dont have a curse word strong enough for this stupidity and he may have just caused more vets to commit suicide describing them all but weak. He is a threat to so many people but it is unbelievable that he does this and no wonder he cant sleep. He has to go. He has to go. He has to go. I have never been so angry that I could not type what I am thinking and sure cant say on here what I am thinking. The man is more than a menace. He is so dangerous.
Before reading any further
I must advise: Trigger Warning for any suffering from PTSD. This also includes families of PTSD sufferers.
Speaking at a Monday conference for U.S. military veterans in Virginia, Donald Trump suggested those who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder when they return from war are not as strong as those who are able to handle it.
This coming from a man who is afraid of an American Eagle, 5 deferments and would not be able have anyones back if he had gone to a warzone. He is more than despicable. He is not worthy to breathe our oxygen.
[Trump] "When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat, and they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over and youre strong and you can handle it but a lot of people cant handle it, the Republican nominee said while taking questions at the Retired American Warriors event in Herndon, Va.
I dont like to use language like this but all I have to say about Donald J Trump is Fuck you, you cowardly Piece of Shit. He didnt even know how many in that room was suffering from PTSD. He is beyond stupid.

(16,858 posts)As an Afghanistan combat surgeon who pieced together marines and civilians alike after their bodies had been ripped to shreds by bullets and IEDs, who operated in 120 degree heat in a tent with the heat on so that our patients didn't lose body heat, who had hands that still smelled like blood after some days of operating, a vet that still wakes up from vivid dreams and can smell the acrid desert smell mixed with blood and the faces of people and babies that you couldn't save....Trump has no concept of war or understand of the meaning of the word strong. Fuck him

He thinks he is so tough. He would have wet himself over there within the first 5 minutes. He doesn't have a fraction of the amount of courage that those soldiers have, as evidenced by the fact that he did everything he could to get out of going in the first place. I would love to see someone really challenge him mentally, emotionally and physically and see how he holds up.
He is the most despicable piece of shit on the planet. We need a little "stabby" smilie.

(16,858 posts)The fuckers idea of "struggling" is filing for bankruptcy and moving on to the next scam...he's never had a real struggle in his life. Seeing him wet himself over the angry eagle shows you exactly how his ass would react in a tight spot
