Donald Trump famously said that he would have been willing to run inside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, if he had been there during the mass shooting that killed 14 students and three staff members. Then, the president expanded his boast as he spoke to the nation’s governors.
Trump is never one to miss an opportunity to take advantage of someone else’s misery, so he broadened what was clearly a whopper. He said that not only would he have run into the building as an AR-15 semi-automatic sounded its horrid death knell, he would have run into the building without a gun of his own. Right.
Here are three reasons that prove that Donald Trump is a coward.
The 45th president took five exemptions to avoid going to the Vietnam War, while tens of thousands of less fortunate young men died. The first four exemptions were for education, but the last one was for bone spurs.
Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) lost both of her legs and the partial use of one of her arms when she was a pilot in Iraq shot down.
She has no love for the exemption-in-chief, after the president called the Democrats “treasonous” for not standing and clapping during his State of The Union address. She refers to him as “Cadet Bone Spurs.”
‘We don’t live in a dictatorship or a monarchy. I swore an oath—in the military and in the Senate—to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap.’
Then, there was the time the man in the Oval Office told about a guest at his casino, who fell off a stage and seriously injured himself. Trump exclaimed how much he hated blood. Although he could have helped the man, he turned away and did not even both to follow up to see how the guy was doing. The president did mention that the blood was staining his marble tiles.
In another instance, the cameras showed 45 with a huge umbrella pulled close to protect his tragic hair from the rain as he climbed aboard Air Force One. A moment later, Barron Trump, 11, came up the steps without an umbrella or a raincoat, followed by First Lady Melania Trump.
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said as a clip played:
‘The son he left behind in the rain because protecting his hair is more important than protecting his son. He also left his third and current wife behind him, in the rain. She’s used to that.’
JackiSchechner tweeted:
‘The guy who won’t take a raindrop for his own kid is going to take a bullet for someone else’s kid?’
