Reply With QuoteCheap photo-op or not, I'm not gonna hate on the president for visiting wounded troops. Who knows, maybe it'll have the same effect the video of the Syrian kids had and it'll help him avoid getting us into needless conflict.

PHOTO OPS @ A MILITARY HOSPITAL..
DISGUSTING!!!!!
visits wounded U.S. service members at military hospital
he visited wounded U.S. service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Saturday, his first visit as president to the armed forces hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington.
Accompanied by his wife, Melania, Trump awarded Army Sergeant First Class Alvaro Barrientos the Purple Heart, the medal given to members of the U.S. military wounded or killed in battle.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

Sorry, but I don't believe it had an effect on it.... It was a lie, a lie to cloud his relationships & investigations w/ putin & get it off the front page-wagging the dog, Kabuki theater...
IMHO he cares about no one but himself, & perhaps his own family-nothing more-it's about him, his ego etc...

Can you imagine if Patton were CJCS today, and joined his president at a military hospital for a presidential photo-op, only to go slapping soldiers around?

The only thing that matters in this is what the wounded warriors got out of it. I'm tempted to speculate that they were more than ok with having their Commander in Chief visit them.
But it's just speculation.

This thread is full blown Trump Derangement Syndrome at work: from the OP link
When I heard about this, I wanted to do it myself. ... Congratulations, tremendous," Trump told Barrientos.
During his eight years as president, Barack Obama made visits to Walter Reed a regular occurrence, particularly when the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were raging. He ended up visiting the hospital more than 20 times.
fully immersed in faith..
yet in eight years he didn't do what Trump did in 100 days......signed into law the right of vets to go to hospitals and doctors of their choice.......
Super lefty
Are you 100% sure he didn't just extend the Choice act of 2014?

This was nothing but a photo op from a man who has the vocabulary of a sixth-grader and zero emotional intelligence.

Now the Purple Heart is an honor. Tell that to John Kerry.

I wonder if when he gave the purple heart to the guy he thought "Hey, I've got one of these too!"

Ha....Kerry's Purple Heart's were a bad joke for scratches, while you make light of those to lost limbs in battle.....hypocrite.....
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

Maybe the reason Kerry got those scratches is because he couldn't hide and cower quickly enough.
