kallend 2,027 #28 May 30, 2018 DanGI agree that the tweet bragging about his accomplishments was inappropriate. The tweet hawking his Chinese made wares was beyond the pale. Could have been worse. He could have bragged about how he was a brave soldier avoiding sexually transmitted diseases in his "personal Vietnam".... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

yoink 321 #29 May 30, 2018 RonD1120 The only way to truly observe the day is to attend a ceremony. After that, what matters? ?l I kinda agree with you on this one, Ron - at least as far as how you celebrate the day. Using it as advertising or to aggrandize yoyrself is pretty distasteful though IMO. It’s one of the few days in our calandar that is definitely NOT about you unless you served. I’m surprized that you, as a veteran, don’t see that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there are/were a lot of things he could have said that wouldn't 'sound bad'. But he chose to issue two statements. One a blatant commercial advertisement. The other was a statement that pretended that dead vets would approve of his job performance. NEITHER of them offered thanks for the sacrifice those vets made. NEITHER of them offered condolences to the friends and families of the dead vets. NEITHER of them was in any way respectful or grateful. They were all about him and him making money.

gowlerk 2,206 #34 May 30, 2018 Let's not make this into more than it actually is. It was not a tweet offering a sale on Memorial day. It was a post on his authorized FB page made by the people who run the store. There is no way to know if the POTUS approved it. QuoteOn Memorial Day weekend of 2018, many Americans were pleased or dismayed (or somewhere in between) that the online shop associated with the Donald J. Trump for President web site and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee had posted an advertisement to the verified Donald J. Trump Facebook page touting an “In honor of Memorial Day, we’re doing 25% off all #MAGA gear!” sale in conjunction with the promotional code REMEMBER:Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

DanG 1 #35 May 30, 2018 I agree with you to a point. Maybe you should show the similar sale offer from Obama's authorized store and reelection campaign site from less than two years into his presidency. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And had it come from the store account - and not the account that the White House uses for its official statements - then it would not have been as big a deal.

RonD1120 62 #37 May 30, 2018 FWIW, none of my Vietnam vet buddies thought it was a big deal. There was more talk castigating Rosanne Barr's lack of good taste.

And, they hate Valarie Jarrett and Obama. Go figure. The talk was probably about her lack of good judgment that made her true beliefs Known. I find it highly unlikely the crowd you run with would find her tweet lacking good taste. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, they hate Valarie Jarrett and Obama. Go figure. So why do they hate Jarrett? Do they even know who she is and what she has done? And I really have to laugh at THIS Trump weighs in on the Barr/Jarrett situation. No comment on Barr's insults. He whines and cries that ABC apologized to Jarrett, yet hasn't apologized to him for all the 'horrible' things that are said about him. Just like the Memorial Day statements.

jakee 1,500 #45 May 30, 2018 RonD1120 Yeah, they know. No, they don't. That's a fabrication. If nothing else didn't the syntax give it away? A Stanford psychology student saying she is "A Iranian"?
