    Trump defied federal law and exploited the grieving families to make propaganda videos illegally at ANC. His campaign is now using the videos in highly partisan attack ads for his personal political benefit.

    It's no coincidence that he only visited the graves of the 13 fallen heroes who died on Biden's watch. It's been reported that Trump has never been to the graves of the 63 fallen heroes who died on his watch.

    If you watch the videos by the families, they think very differently than you.









    I can share more.

    One question. In case you do not recall Cindy Sheehan was a goldstar mother whose son was killed in Iraq. She blamed President George W. Bush for her son Casey's death and became an anti-war activist. Would it have been fine with you if Cindy Sheehan participated in a political ad in 2004 endorsing John Kerry? Speaking hypothetically it would have bothered you if Sheehan voluntarily participated in the filming of the ad in Arlington National Cemetery?
    Sheehan: 'My Son Was Killed Needlessly'
    March 18, 2006 After Cindy Sheehan camped out near President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch this past summer to protest the war in Iraq, the mother of a U.S. soldier slain in Iraq became the face of the anti-war movement.

    Three years into the war, she's still demonstrating in an effort to make it end, she told ABC News' "Good Morning America Weekend Edition."
    "My son was killed needlessly and senselessly and avoidably," she said from New Orleans, where she was getting ready for an anti-war rally.

    Sheehan's son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004. "George Bush and everybody in this administration lied to us about weapons of mass destruction," Sheehan added. "They lied to us about a connection with Saddam and Osama. Now they are saying freedom and democracy. The mission changes all the time."
    Cindy Sheehan: "It's Time the Antiwar Choir Started Singing"

    You're asking them to use logic, consistency, and nuance. Good luck

    The Kurds were vital allies, fighting alongside U.S forces against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. They did much of the fighting on the ground, while the U.S. provided air cover.

    But, once ISIS was defeated, Trump disgracefully betrayed and abandoned the Kurds in northern Syria.

    Does any of this matter to you?
    Do u know how many caskets djt met at Dover? Rhymes with hero
    How many funerals he attended of those killed on his watch?
    How many families of the 63 he called?
    He only cares about the 13 because they have value to him as a political tool. The other 63 were losers and suckers. Does any of that even register with you?

    That second one about the Kurds is so on point. I hated how Trump just left our allies to be slaughtered. Again, how can any veteran support that loser.

    The rumor was that Trump agreed to end support of the Kurds after Erdogan threatened to disallow the use of the Trump name of the Trump Tower Istanbul. Although Trump didn't actually own the property he was receiving licensing fees from the actual owner a Turkish real estate developer. The threat was as much a threat to Trump's ego as it was to his cash stream.
