Let me know when he starts voting against the administration. Until then he's standing behind them.

Trump thinks of the dead Navy Seal, William “Ryan” Owens .

If a POW is a loser to Trump's way of thinking, a dead one must be lower than that to Trump.

I don't know who Trump and his mouthpiece are hoping to fool, but Trump's words show the truth of what he really thinks about the troops.

Mr tRump has shown his contempt for a lot of people from minorities to our servicemen/women. He is only worried about himself. Oh wait, he is going to have the military protect his ass at Trump Tower, I guess the secret service was not good enough for him. He must be a scared wanna be dic....tator/mobster.

Fear of people seeing through his facade, his false bravado. Of people seeing just how weak and insecure he really is.

He is an object of pity, or would be if he wasn't in the oval office.

I ain't gonna.

I'll give Mr. Nuck-Fugget the same pity he gives immigrants from war-torn countries.

IOW, he may proceed with self-fornication!

I don't pity him. Can't afford to.

But if he wasn't in the oval office, people would look upon him with pity. As it is, he has way too much power and he is way too unstable to even consider compassion.

From his FB profile: "Sean Streicher is a field correspondent for WBOC's DelmarvaLife. Twitter: @SeanStreicher. Instagram: s_streicher."

So don't you think it's probably better to use the actual name of the person you are referring to?

He talks as if he has a conscience and votes as if he had none.

So, I'll applaud his words, but not actions. I remember a saying that clearly depicts which of the two speaks louder.
