    Careful. Some on the left, might jump all over the 4th word from the end there.

    Trump said that he likes the soldiers that don't get captured and tortured so one would figure that he would like the ones that do not get hurt as well.

    Like I said, it's a win-win if he gives the medal or if he doesn't, if you just want to hate.

    The haters should just keep their mouths shut on this one. If you want to just honor this soldier, fine. But don't use him for political points.

    Your emotional Trump derangement syndrome is on overload once again.

    When you make up BS like this don't expect to be taken seriously.

    If you are into making conclusions up like you do then yes. Once again you have no factual evidence for your tin foil hat conspiracy.

    Do you make the argument that Obama is less coherent or intelligent when going off script compared to Trump?

    No, about the same. I always have had a hard time following Trump's ramblings...

    At least Trump doesn't lull me to sleep like Obama.

    It's as annoying as this:

    That's too funny!! How many people did he beat to win the Repub nomination? And didn't he beat the chosen golden girl, Lying Crooked Hillary? No wonder they are ticked! They couldn't even beat a three year-old. What a bunch of pathetic losers. You don't gain status by whining about how a three year-old kicked your behind.

    Trump is mentally incompetent and does not realize the effect of his words.

    So, he did one good thing in his life. Now let us see what kind of empathy he has for the Veterans that he lied to on the campaign trail, the coal miners he has lied to, the "Dreamers" he has lied to, and the list goes on, and on, and on. So, how about these people:

    And what of this baby? If you are going to let your own mental derangement direct your responses then you would be better off not responding:

    Doing one good thing is one thing, doing it for the optics is another.

    Well clearly something like thanking him for his courage in defending the country, not congratulations for losing a leg and here have a medal!

    Good Lord don't make me embarrass you with more examples.

    http://ijr.com/2015/11/461306-these...donald-trump-than-just-his-celebrity-persona/

    I beg you to stop embarrassing yourself.

    #1 Your link is the same....twice.

    #2 It has nothing to do with Veterans or coal miners.

    #3 It has nothing to do with dreamers

    #4 Its about the travel ban Genius.

    So please, explain to me how that backed up anything you just spewed?

    Post #2 refers to people like you.

    This guy didn't have that look at all.

    And he was congratulated for getting the medal, not how he attained it. Grow up for ****'s sake.

    Blah blah blah. That's the same BS you people said about Reagan when he was president, too.

    The criticism is not relating to the attendance. If he had just stood there and said FA that would have been better.

    The comment only just showed that he didn't really understand what he was doing or why. He was pulled out for a photo shoot and ad lib-ed his way into a mudhole. Just watch the video, its plain creepy the way Trump behaves. There is no emotional connection and he's just too eager to enter poses for the cameras.

    I continue to feel sorry for the soldier, who not only suffered the injury but also the indignity of being nothing but the President's crass photo prop.

    Well he was smart enough to beat the democrats (and continues to dominate your news stations) so your comment is more of a slap to your own face.

    That was the same thing you people said when Reagan was president. That's all I needed to say to dispute your post which reads "This GOP party is not the same one as under Regan [sic]. They play by no rules and expect to hold the democrats to the old rules." I figured you were smart enough to pick that up. Maybe I underestimated you.
