Trump congratulates Purple Heart recepient

Saw a video clip on the NBC evening news where Trump gave a Purple Heart to a guy who lost a leg in Afghanistan.

Trump congratulated the guy, as if losing the leg was an accomplishment.

Thank you for your sacrifice would have been nice, oh I forgot, he doesn't understand the word sacrifice.

the soldier's sacrifice. Even after the Purple Heart fiasco in the campaign, he doesn't get it.

Especially when Trump bent over,
put his face next to the vet's head,
so Trump could get a couple photos.

Hey, Trump can use the photo op in his 2020 campaign.

At least he didn't announce how he only likes veterans who weren't wounded

(which is surprising)
