Donald Trump is a disgrace ! He has no business being in the White House. He disrespects our fallen servicemen and woman every day.

joannegucci's avatar

Trump disrespects ANYONE who is not a trump loyalist! This brain dead so called leader, unchecked, as he is, will completely destroy the world. Daily trumps chipping away at everything that made this country great!

Jean Conley's avatar

I won't really comment because you summed it up perfectly, joannegucci!!!!!

joannegucci's avatar

Jean, Thank you. 💙🍀✌🏽

Jean Conley's avatar

You're welcome, as always!

Nancy Endersby's avatar

Totally agree Jean!

L B Rose's avatar

The conclusion is that King Con only loves himself (his heart is too small to acommodate anyone or anything else) and hates America.

Janet Edelstein's avatar

You're wrong- he has NO Heart!

L B Rose's avatar

I'm kind of hoping that he has a heart that has been so abused (just like everyone he comes in contact with) that it's ready to perform a good, strong attack...while the cameras are running...

Susan Booth's avatar

My conclusion is that he's in a serious state of dementia.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I agree, Dennis. I have been saying the same thing on a daily basis. His fat ass should be in prison. What gets me, he insulted military members in his last term but yet the majority of the military members voted for him this last election 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't get that.

Dennis Maloney's avatar

I don’t know how anyone could still support the traitor.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I don't either! It's truly mind-boggling.

uRNangel423's avatar

But did the military actually vote for him or was it a “calculated maneuver” in vote counting? Just a thought…

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

They actually did. I have connections at Naval Station San Diego both military and civil service and was told by many active duty members they didn't know of one person who voted for Kamala Harris. The same with civilian personnel. I can't remember where I heard it from but after the 2024 election they were discussing the demographics of Trump voters and they said like 65% of the military voted for Trump. It might have been CNN? That's what lead me to contact these people and ask who they voted for and why. I cut my ties with them as I didn't like what they said about Kamala.

Janet Edelstein's avatar

I wonder how they feel now?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I often wonder but I don't want to reach out to them again. The things they said about Kamala was pretty vile. I actually couldn't believe what I was hearing. They were good people at one time. Kind of freaked me out with the things they said.

Geri Cochran's avatar

I use to believe they were good people too...until Americans were given permission and even encouraged to hate all others that weren't fans of the prez. I now believe they had this hatred hidden, and, once given permission, they let it all out.

uRNangel423's avatar

Thanks Joanne for your response to my comment, I had wondered if they voted freely or if they had been ordered to vote for trump. But after reading your response, sounds as if it was on the up and up. Shame that men feel unsettled (I’m being kind) when a woman holds the higher position of office, whether it’s politics, corporate, or military. And I’m very aware of how women are treated in the military. Sorry you received such vile and negative comments after reaching out, totally unwarranted, but again we are women questioning a man’s choice. Personally, Kamala would have been the better choice since we had already seen where trump had led us to in the first term!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It is unfortunate how American society treats women, it's very old school. The rest of the world has evolved but America has not despite people saying it's "the best country in the world." I beg to differ. I'm from San Diego and it is a HUGE military town but have since relocated to New York late last year. I had neighbors and acquaintances flying Trump flags and the "Don't tread on me" flags in their yards that are active military. I didn't have to ask, it was a "no brainer" who they voted for. Like I previously mentioned the feedback I was getting about Kamala was not about her gender but other disgusting things they heard from Trump himself and the vile things being said on Facebook. There are many military members that are full-on MAGA despite what most people think. You would be surprised. Most people want to think it's with young enlisted men but it is not just them. It is also officers as well as high as Commanders and Captains. As you know, Hegseth has purged many officers who are not loyal to Trump. It is very scary.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Hatred doesn't only affect the few...it circulates in ever widening circles in which to convince others how wonderful it is to hate. In close quarters, if the person already had hatred in their heart, they'll be susceptible to catching the hatred bug, probably for the remainder of their lives. Only God knows where they'll end up after their natural death.

Rymes1's avatar

It would amaze me that they would still vote for another type of tRump regime that being Marco or Vance. tRump/Hedgseth is gutting the military, not all have been women. The regime is also gutting Veteran benefits.

Double E's avatar

Unfortunately, most in the military don't support women in combat. So can't see many of those same people voting for a female president. Not right, but it's what it is

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Perhaps. I can see that. However, from what they were saying to me, it had nothing to do with her gender.

Bewickswren's avatar

Like many other Americans, they believed his lies. And like many others, they may now be regretting their votes.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Lies were told to all...and these people CHOSE the felon's path. If they are regretting their votes, then they should be protesting, calling their maga reps...but they aren't, are they? smdh Or if they are, it no longer makes a difference.

Bewickswren's avatar

They are and it’s making a difference. Check Morris’ numbers and the change in some Republicans but most of all, the changing numbers for young, for Latinos, and for independents.

linda sherer's avatar

I do not get that either!!

Linda Harris's avatar

Remember, he considers them "Losers" and "Suckers". This from a man who avoided the draft 5 times. His daddy paid to get him out of Vietnam. Since trump stands for absolutely nothing but himself, how could he ever understand a person(s) who fight and die for their beliefs.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

It makes me fucking puke to see him salute our fallen soldiers and he does not respect them or their families. Pisses me off. 🤬

ramonaj's avatar

Using the word HAPPY for a day of solemn remembrance says it all. And he insults by PARTY still. A fuckin moron. He should resign in shame.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

What do you expect from a "Low IQ" dumb fuck? He won't resign because his fat ass will go straight to the slammer.

ramonaj's avatar

He would never do it. His narcissistic pea brain isn't capable of admitting he sucks at everything he has ever done.

Punkette's avatar

RIght on, Linda. It’s infuriating. Every time Donny got a fake deferral from his podiatrist, some other “sucker” went to Vietnam in his place. How many of those 5 draftees actually came back?

Linda Harris's avatar

I wrote to 2 of my neighbors while they were in boot camp and in VN. What they went through was horrifying. One came back and disappeared, to this day I do not know what happened to him. The other came back with so many wounds, it was hard to believe he was still alive and he was also addicted to pain pills. It took him a very long time to come to grips with all he went through. So, I really hate this man who has no regard for those who protect us.

Punkette's avatar

Oh Linda, that’s heartbreaking. 😭 I weep for your neighbors, and for all the others. So many Nam vets came back with awful injuries, both physical and mental. Some years ago, I had two Army combat vet friends who suffered with PTSD, and another Marine friend who died from cancer related to Agent Orange exposure. My heart aches for the survivors, and their families. All war is horrible, but during my lifetime, Vietnam tops the list.

Geri Cochran's avatar

AND they had to fight to get help regarding Agent Orange's exposure, when the people running our government denied culpability. A friend's husband died, while fighting. AND so many of the soldiers were drafted.

Punkette's avatar

Yes. All three of my friends were drafted.

Geri Cochran's avatar

So many men came back a totally different person, if they didn't die first. Brain damaged rarely return to who they were. smh Marriages fell apart due to their PTSD, anger, and violence. Children were traumatized by the violence of the returned soldier. sigh

War is the most horrid thing we allow others to make us do. We send boys to be killed and to kill. Boys. We know children aren't fully developed until about age 25... so you are sending children to war.

The things humans do to their own kind is just sad.

Linda Harris's avatar

Great post and so insightful.

Stuart MacDonald's avatar

While I might not get this perfectly correct, recall in Trump's first term during his state visit to the UK, he had a meeting with then Prince Charles. Trump's takeaway was that he didn't get Charles commitment to the environment asking what's in it for him, he is a Prince. Clearly demonstrating that he doesn't understand public service of any kind.

Linda Harris's avatar

Great post. You made a great conclusion in your last sentence.

ramonaj's avatar

He is a complete moron.

Margaret's avatar

Here's another trumpian atrocity for you (us)...Women have been delisted from Arlington Cemetery: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/5/22/800043010/community/missing-in-action-women-service-members-delisted-from-arlington-national-cemetery-website/#google_vignette

Sorry if this is redundant. We are all aware of how women are treated by this regime. I am outraged.

Juliaf's avatar

what in the actual fuck are they doing disrespecting anyone, ANYONE who selflessly served and protected this country?!

Margaret's avatar

Right, Juliaf! Who the fuck do they think they are? I hope any woman considering enlisting reads this.

Geri Cochran's avatar

I've told every daughter and granddaughter of my friends NOT to join the service. And those who have already joined need to assure their safety and only go out with a buddy. Rape is so prevalent in the military, and it's going to get worse, imo.

Margaret's avatar

Rape is often tolerated in the military. And WHO would fight for a country that despises and belittles half the population?

Jean Conley's avatar

This makes me absolutely sick. Dictator Demerol Dingbat Disgusting Moron and his regime (and his republiCRAP lovers) are all definitely MCP's.

ramonaj's avatar

Great description Jean. The rat bastards should be infested with lice and and boils.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Jean, I'm a little slow today. What's MCP's? 🤔

Jean Conley's avatar

Giggle, giggle, giggle! Can't help but giggle. That's the ONE acronym that it's safe using on those sites with "community guidelines" since they don't know, either! (No offense to you that you didn't!). It means "Male Chauvinist Pig." I don't have it copyrighted, so feel free to use it whenever!!!!!!!!!!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Oh, okay. 😂😂 I was trying to figure it out. I thought it might be something naughty but remembered you're a "good girl." 😜

ramonaj's avatar

Us bad girls would think it was maga c*nt pussies !

Jean Conley's avatar

Thanks. I try but ever since our (ahem) "dear friend" (barf) got back into office, it's been extremely difficult....and that's putting it mildly!

Punkette's avatar

Atrocious. This is Whiskey Pete’s doing. He would eject every woman from the Armed Services tomorrow if he could. Misogynistic sex pest!

Linda Harris's avatar

Thank you for this link. This is so despicable, I have no words.

Becky Suchy's avatar

This disgusts me. I can’t believe any women support him. But women are going to stop him. We take away his majorities and we take away his power.

T L Mills's avatar

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I can see Hogbreath's hand in this. He is a vile white kkkristian nationalist and nasty misogynist as well as having serious addictive personality issues and profound masculinity issues. In short, Petey is a hot mess and should NEVER have been confirmed as SecDef.

Judith Hofeditz's avatar

That’s beyond shameful, I didn’t know this.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Unfortunately for your daughters and granddaughters, treatment of women and girls has worsened. smdh In years to come, I suspect there will no longer be laws against domestic violence - perhaps the size of the beating instrument might return. :::((( And I suspect little girls will be forced to marry old gross men. And I suspect there will be no rape laws when in a marriage, and most females will be blamed for exciting a man, so any rape will be the female's fault. Just going back to what magas think are the good old days. :(

Margaret's avatar

Little girls can be forced to marry old men in certain states and cults. Domestic violence is common, seldom reported and very difficult to prove, as is rape. And the most common question asked about a rape: "What was she wearing?" Aargh!

What is happening in Ukraine is an unspeakable warcrime. And Trump and his minions are complicit.

NanceeM's avatar

More than just complicit. We could have saved Ukraine. Biden was too cautious, now Trump openly supports Putin. The blood will be on his hands. Not that he cares. He already covers them with makeup.

Geri Cochran's avatar

The blood is on all of our hands. It's our country who changed sides, and millions and millions of Americans still believe in maga rule.

NanceeM's avatar

I get your point, but millions of us didn't change sides, so shouldn't share that blame.

Richard Friedman's avatar

Ukraine should say if Kyiv is targeted for destruction, then Moscow will be also and target number one will be Putin himself.

Linda Harris's avatar

Ukraine has the ability, as they have shown, to bomb deeply into Russian territory. They have kept their bombing to oil refineries etc. I say let it go and level the Kremlin and anything else. Since Russia in engaged in a campaign to terrorize civilians, take the gloves off. Slava Ukraine.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Don't you think the felon encouraged this?

Richard Friedman's avatar

If by felon you mean Trump, he absolutely encouraged this by his appeasement of Putin.

Lynn Johnson's avatar

He is the worst human being I've ever seen and I've seen plenty of them but never on this level. I'm happy to see President Obama do his usual caring. He is truly what a President should be. Time to get the trash out of the WH along with the rest of the sewer people surrounding him.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Is he even human? I wonder about that. 🤔 Obama is a true gentleman and a true president. I miss him so much!

ramonaj's avatar

He is a snake . No offense to real snakes. A reptilian slime ball. The dog shit under the shoe of America.

Robert Goldbach's avatar

Remember that speech he made at a rally, in which he recited the words to the song, "The Snake?" He was bragging.

Lynn Johnson's avatar

Thought you would like it.

Geri Cochran's avatar

I saw a few when I worked in Harris County Jail, years ago. Narcissists, unless they have money and/or influence, often end up in prison. This personality disorder cannot be cured.

This evil regime is a disgrace to our country and the world. Thanks Ben for update and the tremendous job you do in bringing the truth to us and the world.

Phillip's avatar

“Trump launched a war, lost control of the Strait of Hormuz, and is now reportedly willing to release billions back to Iran while getting far less in return. Yet, when Trump fails, he continues to blame Obama.”

WHAT MORE COULD ANYONE SAY

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Don't forget, the billions are our tax dollars. Like he did with Argentina and like he was going to do if Orban had won the election.

ramonaj's avatar

I can't wait until we get our HUNGARIAN DAY!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I just hope we do! He will try his best to stop it from happening.

DillyDooBee's avatar

ORBAN was loved by CPAC!

I posted a comment that ORBAN was a dictator and a MAGA attacked me for it!

NanceeM's avatar

You expected something different? These people are cultists. If Trump announced he was in favor of cannibalism they would follow suit.

DillyDooBee's avatar

AGREED! But will continue to COMPLAIN and POST!

REPUBLICANS embrace this and will end the PARTY!

MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS and MASS GOP never condemn or criticize.

AMY CARNEVALE, MASS GOP mindlessly said 'we support law enforcement' after 2 innocent US VICTIMS were executed by ICE GESTAPO - widely videotaped as you know. There have been numerous other ICE GESTAPO cases reported and recorded that are ignored. Criminal charges are gradually being brought - REPUBLICANS SILENT!

TODAY: MAKE SURE TO READ MEIDAS - UNFTR LINK!

Recently a TRUMPER who voted for Trump 3 times called CSPAN. Finally figured out TRUMP was a LIAR...slow learner!

A man posted that he finally figured out how HITLER did it!

DillyDooBee's avatar

MAGGOTS need to be told - there were no LABELS!

Not sure what they think CPAC is.

DAFFY DON was always fact checked by reputable sources - I didn't have to tell you he was a LIAR, but they voted for him anyway! And HANNIBEL LECTER was his friend?

When DAFFY DON tells you that he reduced DRUG PRICES by 1,000% I'm sure you can do the arithmetic.

They don't know what a fascist is! Hello?? They accused Biden and Harris as being fascists! They didn't know what a fucking tariff was during his campaign rallies buy yet they cheered him on thinking the other countries would pay the tariffs. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

DillyDooBee's avatar

Too stupid to look things up!

A diabetic relative living with his son got COVID after being vaccinated.

Stupid son condemned the vaccine, so I sent him articles from JOSLIN.

Stupid son didn't know about home health care services - so I looked it up -

lives in another state.

I offered to have family member come live with us and stupid son said diabetic relative couldn't make plane reservations - so I sent information and explained that I could make reservations from Massachusetts.

Never heard back! Sadly health issues are out of control.

PISS POOR EDUCATION!

DillyDooBee's avatar

Our local PBS/NPR station has broadcast interviews with former specialists who ALWAYS considered the impact of IRAN closing the STRAIT OF HORMUZ if attacked.

You don't need to be an 'expert' to figure it out, but maybe you need a BRAIN that seems lacking with these DIM WITS.

They bombed desalination plants, an LNG facility, oil refineries, power plants and who bombed the nuclear power plants?

It's also important to review the history of IRAN and what both the Allies and the US did to undermine the nation, including removing the democratically elected leader, MOSSDAGH, to protect the British CASH COW, BP, then installed the brutal SHAH.

MUSLIMS put great emphasis on EDUCATION and understand what was done to them.

Poppy Bush provided WMD to both IRAQ and IRAN to fight each other - different WMD to each nation (SADDAM never made WMD). WMD was smuggled to IRAN through ISRAEL.

Not being reported is the massive US draw down of the STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVES with no explanation - likely to prevent gas lines or shortages other nations have experienced.

Geri Cochran's avatar

I guess we won't find out how poor our country is until this regime is removed...but I bet your children and grandchildren will be paying the felon's and his family's debts for the remainder of their lives.

Oh he does!! He's planning on having a UFC fight on the White House lawn on his birthday. It is well and truly "White Trash House" now 😒

ramonaj's avatar

So gross and weird. The love of violence makes me sick.

Jean Conley's avatar

At least he knows SOMETHING. I forgot he's egotistical (how could I????) so of course, he's the only one who is important.......

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

He wants to declare his birthday a "national holiday" as well! Fuck that!

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

Oh crap. Why am I surprised? You'd think by now I would't be surprised at ANYTHING stupid, irritating, evil, etc., thing he wants to do! And also, F him!

Linda Harris's avatar

Can't wait to see what lies they will spin after that visit. I'm still choking on laughter with the "he is 6'3" and 215 pounds and in great health."

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

More like 315 pounds. Fat ass! He's not 6'3" either. You shrink when you get older. He thinks we're all morons like him. 😤

Deborah Newman's avatar

Yes they are propping him up like a blow up doll because they don’t want to lose their horrific MAGA base, while allowing him to golf and have his vanity and family projects in the meantime to keep him happy while destroying us.

Rachel Simon's avatar

I cannot understand how Republicans have supported him thru all these atrocities. Are they all under a mind control drug? Where are the patriots in the Republican Party??

Geri Cochran's avatar

I really think the difference is how much hatred Americans had in their hearts...How angry they were with how their lives turned out - and being told it wasn't their fault...it was ________'s fault (undocumented workers, blacks, hispanics).

Also, I don't think there is Republican Party anymore...it's the trump party. Patriots support their democratic republic government: magas overturned our government. :(

Patricia Sheffield's avatar

The fact that this madman has once again posted abhorrent statements on this day of honoring our fallen hero’s is not a surprise. Remember he also posted annihilation and death on Easter Sunday! Thanksgiving he was withholding snap & Christmas he posted similar nasty posts.

The people who support this man … still, will continue to betray actual Americans.

Linda Harris's avatar

Every holiday, event etc. that the US celebrates, I always go online to see what the Obama's post. It keeps my hopes up that there are still intelligent and well-meaning people who once served this nation in office.

I think discussion of his posts should start with a disclaimer: "Natalie Harp composed and posted the following post, after Trump approved it." It's too easy to forget all the people enabling him, and she is at the top of the list of enablers.

Not a problem for me as I believe all magas enable this regime...including most of my neighbors.

What a shame for our country that DJT can’t even be decent on Memorial Day as I honor my beloved departed husband, buried in a National Cemetery, who as an 18 year old was riding on a tank , cleaning up after the Battle of the Bulge. Plus the fact, you disrespectful , horrible model

to our young people, I deeply resent being called dumb just because I totally disagree with every single thing you stand for. I can only hope that I live long enough to see you totally humiliated more than even now., in both our country and the rest of the world. And if we’re all lucky, we will see you charged with at least some of the crimes that you have committed.

Anna Bifano's avatar

Dear Ben.. Thank you for honoring the 13 Americans that we have sadly lost during this awful war. They served our country with dignity and grace, which is something that DT is incapable of. I think of their families experiencing their first Memorial Day without them. A draft dodger that has no comprehension of what it is like to train, serve, witness horrors and in way too many cases die for America. This is a day of remembrance and you are right - it shoukd bring us together. The Commander and Chief should not be ranting on social media.

Thank God for Barack Obama. Thank you for this community.
