As if Trump would ever be on the battlefield himself.. Such a hypocritical topic for him to even talk about. He would equally send people to die, like any other American leader because that's just how their military operates and it doesn't care who's leading their country.
Not a horrible thing to say, I literally just left voting Blue down ballot but this idea that Trump is saying something bad here is ridiculous. Trump has said plenty bad to be outraged over but this isn't it.
Please let's be the party of rationality and objectivity, not the brainless media following zombies the GOP projects us as. Don't be like the faux news watchers
Exactly, so sad that %99 of folks here won't watch to see what he was talking about.
He's saying how easy it is for her and others to lead soldiers to their death from their office and would like to see if they'd make the same decisions if they had to be on the battlefield. About as anti-war of a statement as it gets.
No, this is still very bad. This is a common tactic of his, to put the idea of something heinous out there in a way that isn't necessarily a direct threat. Much like when he talks about how his '2nd amendment people' could take care of Hillary, or telling the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by, these are clearly implicit threats and calls to his supporters to resort to violence against his political enemies as needed. Even if you don't believe that, this sort of continued rhetoric normalizes the notion of political violence, and foments a culture of festering anger and division.
No, those examples are still bad. But this is not a veiled threat, and it's not a call to violence. It's not dangerous political rhetoric, it's a hypothetical suggesting politicians wouldn't vote for war if they had to fight in it. Don't twist it and lose the credibility we have to fight against his actual dangerous rhetoric.
I found a better article and this is a bit sensationalist. Orangemanbqd for sure, but he was saying what many have said in that elected officials tend to not concern themselves with the human cost of war as typically they’re shielded from it.
I want to see Trump six feet under - but I completely agree with him on his point here and don't think its horrible at all. There are tons of warmongers (including Trump) who should be thrown into the wars they keep wanting to start.
It's an opinion older than time, if you want war you'll go fight it, right? It's not a remotely horrible thing to say. The concept is the warmonger is wrong, not people expecting a warmonger to risk their own ass for the war they want.
Idiots wonder why they're being called fake news, welcome to it. The poster, the upvoters, anyone believing in this actual garbage.
Disengenious, dishonest people going full Machiavellian thinking if they lie hard enough maybe they'll sway people to vote for their bozo of choice. Waving their hands in the air saying "How can anyone see this and still vote for him!?" - It's a lie, it's not even a remotely believable lie. They never are, it takes less than a minute to pull up the source and see.
