In the statement, Kelly is confirming, on the record, a number of details in a 2020 story in The Atlantic by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, including Trump turning to Kelly on Memorial Day 2017, as they stood among those killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery, and saying, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
Trump said he did not want to visit the graves of American soldiers buried in the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris because, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” During that same trip to France, the article reported, Trump said the 1,800 US Marines killed in the Belleau Wood were “suckers” for getting killed.
Kelly concluded, “God help us.”
Too little, Too late. John Kelly is culpable for everything trump said and did, and pretending to be outraged about it after the fact makes him a slimy piece of shit too. And the same goes for all the scumbags willing to look the other way for personal gain and political power. I hope your disgrace follows you for the rest of your lives.
Everyone should remember that when these people say these things, what they’re also telling you is that they just let it happen. They stood by and said nothing. The reason they did was because they wanted to ride the new king’s coattails. They banked on the party lasting forever… Now they’re gonna sing and cry crocodile tears.
Too little, too late! No clemency! No pity! However, please do continue. We want to make sure you have company where you’re going!
Kelly and Mattis were also used early in the Trump Administration to “prove” Trump was a grownup who would listen to intelligent people behind the scenes. Both of them should have known better.
TLDR, an accessory to crimes and all around piece of shit trying to make themselves look like less of a bad guy.
A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,
As suspected but also yikes.
A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
Also pretty clear. He wants to be a tinpot dictator in the same vein as Putin and Kim.
CNN reached out to the Trump campaign Monday afternoon, telling officials there that a former administration official had confirmed, on the record, a number of details about the 2020 Atlantic story, without naming Kelly, and seeking comment. The Trump campaign responded by insulting the character and credibility of retired Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley, who had nothing to do with this story.
Lol.
What’s interesting is that Trump seems to have no conception at all that he will go down in history as a terrible human being and general loser.
He’s like a little kid that wants attention. Getting attention for being naughty is just as good as getting attention for being good, but is much easier.
This is exactly it.
His dad was a serious piece of work and Donald is forever trying to impress him because he was starved as a child of genuine affection.
I have compassion for him.
But, it doesn’t trump the compassion I have for all of the people he’s hurt, directly and indirectly.
He’s almost 80…
It’s one thing to cut a 20 year old slack for how they were raised, but at some point it’s fine to judge them for never working on themselves.
Imagine, if you will, people in 2120 still using his grave as a gender neutral bathroom. Just warms your heart.
Oh look at that grave, honey. I wonder who that is? Grass doesn’t seem to grow there and it looks like multiple people have chiseled out the name and filled it… eww is that faeces?
Trump has clinically-diagnosable Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He thinks he’s the best at things and brags about associating with the best people. He can only consider himself in his day-to-day decision-making, and only cares about other people to the extent they are useful to him in that moment. He genuinely believes his way of doing things is “perfect.”
While it’s not unheard of, you really can’t expect someone with NPD to ever change. He will never admit fault, ever, because he has demonstrated he will protect his ego at all costs
He just made jokes while in California about Pelosi’s husband being bludgeoned with a hammer by one of his psychopathic followers.
Just let that one marinate for a few seconds.
Shitting on American heroes through lack of any understanding of the mere idea of self sacrifice seems a bit unsurprising.
