T-rump rips apart Navy Seal and their ex-commander on FOX News

With growing tension that something big is on the horizon in the Mueller investigation, T-rump ripped apart retired Navy Admiral Bill McRaven, the former Navy Seal commander who led the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

In an interview with Mike Wallace on FOX, T-rump criticized McRaven and the operation, when he said, 'Wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama Bin Laden a lot sooner than that, wouldn't it have been nice?'

T-rump called McRaven a "Hillary supporter" and criticized the time it took the military to locate and kill Bin Laden, claiming they allowed the terrorist to 'live in a nice mansion' for years. McRaven, headed the Seal unit in charge of the raid of the 9/11 mastermind, would not give T-rump his endorsement in 2016.

Conservatives are so proud of T-rump these days - dishonoring war veterans last week on Veterans Day by not attending service at Arlington, and now shredding the Navy Seals for their heroic mission on May 2, 2011.

It should be treasonous for a US president to put our troops/vets down like this. A president should be held to a higher standard than that. I'm still trying to figure out how he wasn't facing punishment for what he said in Russia. That alone was treasonous.

Where's the Republican outrage? Imagine if Hillary or Obama did this?

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

If were Hillary or Obama they would already be impeached by now.

Exactly. So what's taking the Republican congress to impeach this jackass?

Should it really take 10 years for the largest military power on the planet to find a single goat lover who is barely even hiding?

I don't know if it 'should' (as I'm not in the military or strategic operations), but the fact is 'it did'.

And the fact is that now T-rump is shredding our beloved military. How embarrassing.

It doesn't matter. He is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and he was PUTTING OUR MILITARY DOWN. PUBLICLY, no less. That is behavior unbecoming of a leader any which way you cut it.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Well, it's Trump after all, unbecoming behaviour is sort of his trademark.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 5 years ago

And yet--millions of Americans seem to love him, for some reason. I've seen many Trumpers actually say: "I think it's cool how he talks!" and "He just says it like it is!" in response to his uncouth comments. Amazing...

The best thing he ever did for the country was to spare it from the corrupt bag Hillary, that would've been bad for real, Trump may be smooth as an elephant but it's better than someone who is downright evil and wouldn't mind running the entire nation into the ground if it gave her something.

T-rump is everything the GOP was falsely hoping Hillary would be: corrupt, lying, and treasonous. They now reap what they sow.

And the account goes *poof*. lol

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Makes you wonder which troll was discovered to be behind the sock account that goes *poof* after five or six posts. Must be a pretty well known one.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

That was the shortest life of an account in forum history.

Pakistan was shielding him in the military garrison town of Abbottabad a mile away from the Pakistani military academy. He never left the mansion he was hiding in. I'd say he was being hidden pretty well.

Regardless, Trump is of course casting blame on the wrong person. In 2003 Bush stopped his pursuit of Bin Laden when he got distracted by his costly misadventure in Iraq. The secret CIA department assigned to tracking Bin Laden was shuttered and those operatives were instead put to the task of finding the mythical and non-existent WMDs in Iraq.

It wasn't until Obama took office that he refocused intel resources to hunting down Bin Laden again. So because of Bush's misdirection, that cost our intel agencies 6 years in their pursuit to track him down. They probably should have been able to find him sooner, but responsibility for bungling it starts at the top.

Does he bash Dubya for not having Bin Laden taken care of during his tenure?

[–] Cristianos (268) 5 years ago

It's just disgusting from him to put down former military personnel just because of different political preferences. I should expect no less from Trump who has proven himself time and time again to be vain and self-centered.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

What’s sad is that as a nation we don’t expect anything better from our President. He has set his standards of behavior at an all time low, and it’s now expected of him to go lower. Horrible.

I'm just glad to see a DEM stand up for the military.
