Trump Says Blumenthal Lied About Vietnam (He Did) and Cried (He Didn’t)
NBC News ^ | 08-07-2017 | Jane C. Timm

Posted on 08/07/2017 5:03:36 PM PDT by Trump20162020

President Donald Trump on Monday unleashed a hostile tweet storm on Sen. Richard Blumenthal, making a number of claims against the Connecticut Democrat, including that he had lied about serving in Vietnam.

Trump's Twitter fusillade was apparently set off by Blumenthal's appearance on CNN earlier Monday in which he spoke about the investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia. "I think is very important to protect and safeguard the independence and integrity of that investigation," Blumenthal said.

Later Monday, Trump suggested Blumenthal take a long vacation in Vietnam "so he can at say he was there."

Trump will have a YUGE ulcer if he keeps watching CNN every morning and letting it get to him. I’m glad he’s always fighting back, but he gets too upset about ###holes. It’s not healthy.

I don't think Trump is upset about this stuff or lets it get to him.

I think he fires off tweets as if he were throwing a dog a bone. "Fetch! Go play with that for a while. I've got work to do."

Tweets like this are shiny things to keep the media occupied. Funny, after all this time they still haven't figured it out yet.

So true. The memes that have been done on that one phrase could fill a book.

Yes. This has a lot to do with it.

The DIMS will always hate the Republicans for "taking their slaves away".

Trump is not getting off message or off agenda. The tweets took like three minutes. That leaves the other 837 minutes of his 14 hr day open for agenda and message.

My brother-in-law served in Nam '67-'68 was 'wounded' three times: pungi stick in the foot, bullet graze on the arm and a second graze on the forehead.

While being stitched for the head wound he asked if this qualified him for a Purple Heart.

The Doctor responded: "No. But if it had been an inch deeper you would have gotten one posthumously."

My BIL hates Al Gore.

Hope you’re right.

Thinking of how I would react.

But i’m a sick animal :) I’n known for a horrifically bad and borderline violent temper.

You’re right. Trump’s shown no such tendencies in his long past.

That’s so cute. NBC still hasn’t figured out how Trump manipulates them and their message.

That’s interesting. I’m going to watch for that now.

Our President could be a genius. Not about everything, but certainly about many things.

He says he went to ‘nam as an excuse for why he looks like Freddy Krueger.

Trump could, as you say, be a genius in certain areas. But he really doesn’t have to be, to outwit the MSM. No matter how many times he plays them, they keep falling for the same tactics. Their hatred of him blinds them, so that when he starts tweeting they lose all perspective. They just want to catch him at something—anything—so they keep falling headlong into his traps.

Good to see that old GIF [#26]. JimRob built it for me because I have used that thought for a tag line since the 90's... still do, obviously. A message that needs to be spread as broadly as possible - and Hildebeest is the epitome example!

Thank you for the post. I had no idea where it came from or who made it. I found it while going thru old threads.
Thanks again

Amen. I can’t believe we have millions of idiot democrat voters willing to allow the Clinton crime family back into the White House. Especially Hillary. Bill was a useful idiot, but Hillary is a true believer. And a totally evil God-hating, America-hating, capitalism-hating wannabe Marxist/fascist totalitarian. God help us.

Blueming Idiot. Blueming Liar. Blueming Psycho.

Yes, another Democrat Blumenthal joins the insane posse of the Democrats (Sidney, Max and now Richard, the Three Stooges of the Left without the talent, patriotism, or decency of those comedians).

Mr. Grigsby 1890 was an astute observer. When I hear brainwashed folk say that the Democ🐀 Party is for the little guy I point out that that shop-worn phrase originated with Andrew Jackson and things have really changed in the past 100 years! Check the major Dem donors: millionaires / billionaires.

Let's face it, the Dem Party is the doorway for the super rich to get taxpayer money Elon Musk an unlimited resource USSR...

There is probably some truth in that.

He’s also does it to his staff too, however, which is a problem.

Is there an actual official transgender policy for the military yet?
