@realDonaldTrump
I think Senator Blumenthal should take a nice long vacation in Vietnam, where he lied about his service, so he can at least say he was there

Isn’t’ Sen. Richard Blumenthal the screw worm who claimed he was in Vietnam?

Blumenthal received at least five draft deferments during the Vietnam War before enlisting.[10] He served in United States Marine Corps Reserve units in Washington, D.C., and Connecticut from 1970 to 1976.[11][12] He attained the rank of sergeant and received an honorable discharge at the end of his enlistment.[13] There was controversy in 2010, when the The New York Times reported that Blumenthal misspoke on at least one occasion about his military service.[14][15] Video emerged of him speaking to a group of veterans and supporters in March 2008 in Norwalk, Connecticut, saying, in reference to supporting troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, “We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam.”[16]

They don’t have to be Democrat. Flake deserves the wrath of a Trump Tweet in time for the Arizona primary.

Vietnam veteran vs. Vietnam era veteran — Blumen-turd conveniently conflated the two...and got caught. He was a Jarhead, but a REMF Jarhead.

Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!

Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and....

...conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?

Kudos President Trump! Keep it up!

I would have added a fourth tweet, something like "this is the sort of phony-baloney con-job that Washington is full of these days."

The Republicans in Connecticut often nominate really awful candidates for these races, trying to grab the "middle" (left) which never works.

The D.C. Swamp Dwellers have never seen anyone like Trump — a POTUS who calls out the corrupt career phony politicians and tells what they are.

Tells you volumes about the majority of people in Connecticut when they knowingly elect a fraud and a phony. Blumenthal knowingly tried to claim recognition for something he never did. Those truly brave men that made real sacrifices deserve honor and respect. Blumenthal is the worse sort of person imaginable.
