Donald Trump has never shown respect for the military. He is unfit to serve unqualified to be commander in chief- Dump Trump!
Echo opinion letter published in the Houston Chronicle:
During this event, Trump said that the Presidential Medal of Freedom was “much better” than the Congressional Medal of Honor, because “everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.”
Given the staggering magnitude of his ignorance — according to his former chief of staff, Trump didn’t even understand the significance of Pearl Harbor — it’s tempting to dismiss this comment as innocuous. He was simply complimenting a Medal of Freedom recipient who, unlike the “suckers” and “losers” who defend this country, happened to be a “healthy, beautiful woman” and, of course, a billionaire donor to his campaign. But it underscores deeper, ongoing and far more consequential haracter flaws that should render him permanently unfit for any public office.
He has profoundly perverted the definition of leadership. For him, there is nothing greater than self-enrichment and self-preservation, which is why sacrifice, service, honor and humility are pointless gestures. Loyalty is something to be imposed, not inspired.
Seriously ❗ This is not just a character flaw, it’s a complete absence of character and it runs against the basic values we all teach our children.
His seemingly inconsequential ramblings are newsworthy because they reveal a myopic world view that will inform his policy decisions. This is critical information for any voter — the uninformed, misinformed and those with short memories.

Trump’s dishonorable comments:
Trump's disgraceful Medal of Honor remarks prove he's unfit to lead | Opinion: Unless I missed it, the Houston Chronicle dedicated zero print to Donald Trump’s (booooring 🥱😧 ) hour-long press conference during which he told more than two lies per minute.

Trump does not inspire loyalty. Rather he demands it. A zero sum game for Trump. |
