I knew we were the greatest. This is the first time in my life I've heard it, though.

As soon as Trump starts talking, all I hear is blah blah blah bullshit. The Coward in Chief is an embarrassment. What should have been a patriotic day of support for the military was reduced to a disgusting display of fealty to a morally bankrupt tyrant.

I know what you mean, but when you sit down and analyze it, you find that in among the blah blah blah, there's a surprising amount of yada yada yada.

Avoiding "service" in Vietnam wasn't cowardly. It was what any sane person would have done. Handing oneself over to the war machine isn't intrinsically heroic.

There are countless reasons Trump is a coward, as are most bullies who prey upon the weak and defenseless.

Seriously, whose fault was this embarrassment on the global stage? If they can’t organize a parade are we safe defended by these people?

The USA ought not be a joke.

This line is so aptly put, “For Trump, anything worth praising must be basted in gloppy superlatives” — just love that!

Having to hide behind glass partitions in front of his own people tells you how brave he is. Buckets of blood indeed. Nice analysis.

Yes, well, they all use speechwriters, just as do the late-night comedians, but it can work when the principal has something truthful or important to impart, and the writer is on their frequency. But Trump has no thoughts about US history any more profound than what he took in in grade school, and the writer knows he/she has to keep it simple and right-wing.

The last war we won was when Trump and I were born: WWII. Thanks to our politicians and leadership we have wasted our treasure and blood on nothing.

Obviously you've forgotten our great victory over Grenada in 1983!

Yeah but we gave up the territory we took. Just like Nam. Take it , give it up and kill more to take it back again

If we win one under Trump, we ain't giving it back.

I dread to ask but was that speech *actually* written by an YA fantasy novelist...?

Or, y'know, just someone who always secretly wanted to be a heavy metal singer.

They should be all unforgettable, the guy is a unadulterated idiot like Biden at a certain age you should legally not be allowed to hold the office of the President, your intellect is not there without a bus load of handlers, you stumble walking up stairs on Air Farce One, your IQ has gone from 92 to 72, do I want President like that, no.

I don't want a President like Trump at any age. He was no brighter at 40.
