Michael Dukakis rips ‘draft-dodger’ Trump after tank photo joke

President Trump’s joke about Michael Dukakis tanked with the former Democratic presidential nominee.

Dukakis, who ran against George H.W. Bush, wasn’t happy about Trump mocking him for donning a helmet and riding in a tank during the 1988 campaign.

“I want to get into them but then I remember when a man named Dukakis got into a tank,” Trump said to laughter Wednesday during a visit to a tank factory in Lima, Ohio. “The helmet was bigger than he was. That was not good.”

Wasn’t Dukakis known as “Machine Gun Dukakis” among all his buddies in the barracks? He was a real killer.

I think both are hysterical. I didn’t know Dukakis was still relevant in any way.

The name tape across the front of the helmet was stupid. Taking a ride in a tank, while having a long history of opposing military modernization, was even stupider. Mugging for the camera completed the idiocy.

He wouldn’t care enough if his wife was raped and killed. Cost him POTUS. Where are the Bernard Shaw’s out there?

Why the name strip? No one would’ve know him without it?

Howie Carr,long time Boston columnist and talk show host,mentions Dukakis from time to time.Regarding the famous tank photo he had a call in poll on his radio show once regarding the best caption for that photo.

Thanks partially to the fact that a movie of the same name was in theaters at the time the photo was taken the winner for best caption was:

What? He looked like a POG, completely out of his comfort zone. Unfortunately, when you’re running for president, and Commander-in-Chief, you sorta have to at least look like you are familiar with sending other men to die, for obscure or stupid reasons.

The best part was his head swiveling like a bobble head as the tank moved.
