Trump was forced to take a knee today.

The flag returned to half staff for a veteran and a war hero. Here is to the veterans, that flag took a knee to you as well.

Thank you for a service that you should never have been asked to do.

I think he was brought to his knees for being a disgusting human being and brought to his fucking knees by every vet that ever served when he attempted to vilify McCain. He was forced to his knees for every vet and every black person that died. He lost and was forced to lower that flag in tribute.

He lost and we won this round.
