    Default Trump Didn't Want 'Wounded Guys' in a Military Parade: 'Doesn't Look Good For Me'

    ”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.”

    “Look, I don’t want any wounded guys in the parade. This doesn’t look good for me.”

    “The comment stunned the generals present for the meeting, worsening frustrations already brewing amid the administration, according to the book.”

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news for Trump- BUT NOTHING LOOKS GOOD FOR HIM ANYMORE!

    By the time 2024 elections come around, Donald Trump will be convicted of planning a coup to overthrow an election, Convicted of trying to bribe a state elector, Convicted of Tax Fraud and Tax Evasion, in jail, divorced, bankrupt, and laughing stock to the entire world!

    “This doesn’t look good for me.”

    “Those are our heroes,” reportedly countered John Kelly, Trump’s chief of staff and a retired Marine Corps general. “In our society, there’s only one group of people who are more heroic than they are—and they are buried over in Arlington.”

    “I don’t want them,” Trump reportedly said again. “It doesn’t look good for me.”
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Are the wounded historically a part of military parades other than after a successful war?

    I tend to doubt it.

    Trump is Fine.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    That would be justice.

    And his followers either claiming the charges were 'politically motivated, Trumped up,' (ha ha , like they would say that,) or claiming they never supported him.

    His many straight military parades has the US ever had other than after a successful war?

    Probably one of the reasons the Generals opposed the idea, and it was after Trump witnessed France’s military parade, which they stepped up cause they heard Trump liked such, and, included wounded veterans, that Trump came to that decision, no wounded veterans on display

    Quite frankly, my friend, I don't give a damn what TRUMPTARDS THINK OR SAY ANYMORE!

    The nerve they all had putting Americans through the Trump Era, in the first place, will never be forgiven of the Republican Party by most Americans!

    The Republicans have damaged themselves as a legitimate political party for several elections to come!

    And here they are making all the same mistakes again with their insane support of Donald Trump and his GOON SQUAD CANDIDATES.

    If that is not pouring Alcohol right into the wounds of America left behind by Donald Trump- I don't know what is.

    Bring on the Midterms! The Democrats are on track to pick up 2 Senators now- AND Amazingly NOW ON TRACK TO EVEN HANG ON THE THE HOUSE!

    I remember the wounded at the Vietnam Veterans ticker tape parade.

    That would be truly awesome if Democrats could keep both the House and Senate. It does appear that Republicans are having a bit of a bad aftertaste from their absurd flirtation with extremism.

    The die hard right wing haters are still going to vote for extremism, but the more moderate ones and independents are pulling back from it. January 6th, and Roe are not playing well with the masses. A majority of Americans do not support J6 or the Roe reversal. But typically, the economy is the one thing that motivates most voters. With Democrats passing a bill called the Inflation Reduction Act, even if it is dubious if it will really do much to reduce inflation, the stage is set for the less well informed to give Democrats credit for falling gas prices. Most Americans are not very well politically informed. And if inflation in general cools, Democrats will get credit. If inflation does not cool, Democrats will get the blame, but that would have happened anyway, so nothing lost in passing the Bill. And it does a lot of good things.

    With all the trials of the J6 insurrectionists in the news, and Trump acting like his usual embarrassing self, and new tell-all books coming out all the time, there are a lot of reasons and reminders of why voters should walk away from the Republicans.
