He's already used a dead body and a bible as props for his photo ops. Why not the graduating class at West Point?

What is the problem?

The biggest draft dodging "you should fight so I dont have to" who ever fucking lived is using real patriots and heros for personal gain?

Why would anyone have an issue with that?

BTW, if you dont part with him over this and the other 2000 things he has done to dishonor our military, you cant call yourself a patriot.

What a disgusting POS! Especially repulsive considering he dodged the draft and was too much of a coward to go to war himself. God, he has some nerve.

Even though they were isolated from the group, it doesn't seem as though it could be 100% guaranteed that everyone was safe. Someone testing CV-free upon arrival could be asymptomatic and not test positive for days, all the while acting as a spreader, which brings up my original question...waivers, just in case?

Note that Chump isn't relying on just temperature checks for his rally and is insisting on waivers. He wants his a$$ covered from any lawsuits in that scenario.

He can't speak on his record, so he's going to try and appeal to military fetishists to win the election?

Ok.

Maybe this tilt he has in his stance is the beginning of him stooping lower and lower, literally, and we're getting to watch it in real time!

Whenever you think Republicans can't go any lower, they pull a cartoon ACME Inc. Portable Hole(TM) out of their pocket, slap it down, and dive, dive, dive.
