Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg slammed former President Trump’s reported comments to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley about a wounded veteran, saying they were just the latest “in a pattern of outrageous attacks” on those who serve the country.
CNN’s Dana Bash asked Buttigieg on “State of the Union” on Sunday what his response was to an interview Milley gave to The Atlantic in which he described an instance when Trump complained to him about a wounded Army veteran. Milley said Trump asked him, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded,” and told him to not allow that wounded veteran to appear in public again.

So, if I’m to read this as a NeverTrumper, what happened here is the following:
1. Trump goes to a VA Hospital and finds a wounded veteran.
2. Trump talks to him a bit.
3. Trump leaves the hospital and attacks him as un-American (or something along those lines).
4. Therefore Trump HATES the military.
(at some point FR needs to purge people who think that way)
I always assumed Buttigieg is the "slamee", not the "slammer".
It was a bald faced lie. Trump never said it.
“...Trump is not much better than Biden...”
Trump towers over Biden mentally and physically. He is energetic and knows how to get things done. There is no active politician today as capable as Trump. And from the polls, most Americans know this!
I’m not buying it.
“No, unfortunately, Trump did say this.”
The witnesses at the scene said Trump did not say this.
Were you there? If not, then you have no say whatsoever.
And I don’t think you were there.
You are just another unhinged DeSantis-bot.
Harvard Poll: Trump Tops Biden by 5, DeSantis by 40
God help us.
“No, unfortunately, Trump did say this.”
Based on Milley saying that Trump said it?
If Milley told me the sun was shining I would have to go out and check for myself. However, General Kelly is another issue entirely. I believe him when he said he was truly offended by the disrespectful way Trump talked about those who served.
. What Milley is alleging seems too much even for Trump. But I think it says something about the man that I can't in good faith say "Trump would never say that."
Look at this list of awards and medals...
He received the “Defense Distinguished Service Medal for changing his socks every day in a row for over six months.
He received the Army Distinguished Service Medal with two bronze oak leaf clusters for not blurting out that Obama was not born in the USA.
He received the Defense Superior Service Medal with two bronze oak leaf clusters for not complaining when Rachel Levine was sworn in as four-star admiral while wearing a skirt.
He received the Legion of Merit with two bronze oak leaf clusters for not calling for transgender Biden official Sam Brinton to resign after he was caught stealing luggage.
He received the Bronze Star Medal with three bronze oak leaf clusters for killing a huge spider when using the women's bathroom in his Headquarters in Iraq.
He received the Meritorious Service Medal with silver oak leaf cluster for not calling in sick for three consecutive quarters.
He received the Army Commendation Medal with four bronze oak leaf clusters for making other members of the military take the Covid shots.
He received the Army Achievement Medal with one bronze oak leaf cluster for promoting wokeness in the military by requiring all officers to take diversity training.
He received the National Defense Service Medal with one bronze service star for remembering all the new words to the Pledge of Allegiance.
He received the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal with two bronze service stars for riding in the back of a military jet to Acapulco, Mexico.
And it goes on and on... when you are a fearless bureaucrat your suck-up subordinates can be counted on to shower you with medals and ribbons. Compare his ribbon bar to that of Dwight D Eisenhower a piker by comparison:
> Just another made up attack. <
Milley is an incompetent Deep State liar. So I’m betting that he either made up that Trump “comment” or he twisted what Trump actually said.
General Milley? Is he a soldier or a politician? Remember when the military leaders believed and lived this:
“And through all this welter of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars.
Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes, all other public projects, all other public needs, great or small, will find others for their accomplishment. But you are the ones who are trained to fight. Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory; that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed; that the very obsession of your public service must be. . .”
IIRC, Petey was a Green Zone aide or driver to some other officer. IMO, the times he went outside the wire and posed for pictures with his M4 all operator-like was for preparation for his future political career.
Milley had a plan to get us in a war with Iran, and when he saw Trump knew it, he started flinging ****. You post to FR to support the Biden-Milley smear machine.
Pearl-clutching Karen!
If Trump was as smart as you I suppose he would be up by 50 points instead of 40. (deep sarcasm intended)
I’m never interested in hearing criticism from a perverted butt humper about anything or anyone, especially in regard to President Trump.
Oh, I almost made a mistake. Mrs. Buttiplugger is not a butt humper, rather it is a humpbutted.
If you’re wounded - like McCain - you’re a loser; and, if you’re not wounded - like “Petey” - you’re a loser. I see why you say not serving, like 4F and his two adult sons, is better than serving.
Setting up a counter for how many times Trump’s remarks are twisted to make him look bad in press. What do you guys think Int32 is obviously not big enough. Int64? Nah, probably need Int128...or Int256 since there is an election year coming up.
