    ‘Doesn’t look good for me’: Trump sought to exclude wounded veterans from parade

    As President Donald Trump sought to hold a spectacular military parade on the Fourth of July, the former president had a request that stunned his top military advisers: He didn’t want wounded veterans to be on display.

    Trump had been inspired to hold a grand Independence Day parade in the summer of 2018 after attending the Bastille Day parade in France the year before. However, he reportedly lamented the presence of wounded soldiers in wheelchairs who had lost limbs in battle, requesting they not be present.

    This is very believable and right up Trump's alley.

    I remember this when it happened. I suppose the book authors are releasing some of the more infuriating details of stories they covered. I don't need it. I've been infuriated for the last 5 years at what that gentleman has wrought.

    How a single veteran can support that draft dodging pos is beyond me.

    Disrespected a true war hero in John McCain. Fact.

    Disrespected a Gold Star family. Fact.

    Reported to have said Americans who died in WWII were suckers and losers. Unproven, but fully in character.

    Your posts are predictably hateful... Nothing good/constructive comes from this sort of hit piece.

    Trump Asked Aide Why His Generals Couldn’t Be Like Hitler’s, Book Says

    WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump told his top White House aide that he wished he had generals like the ones who had reported to Adolf Hitler, saying they were “totally loyal” to the leader of the Nazi regime, according to a forthcoming book about the 45th president.

    “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” Mr. Trump told John Kelly.


    In the conversation with Mr. Kelly, which took place years before the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the authors write, the chief of staff told Mr. Trump that Germany’s generals had “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.”

    Why are you upset at the person posting it and not at the person who made the vile statement disrespecting our dear war veterans?

    Wounded veterans have asked not to be seen around this man. Makes them look bad.
