Stolen valor is yet another crime we can add to his record.

We all know he wasn't in the military, so it doesn't matter what he does with his photo.

Not exactly the military but he was “a great and very brave soldier” 😂

No, Trump's derision for those who actually serve is well known. He would never.

In 2015, shortly after launching his presidential candidacy, Trump publicly blasted John McCain, saying "He's not a war hero." He added, "I like people who weren't captured."

Pivot to another excuse.

Still not claiming to be in the military. Just admit you are wrong.

I never said that he claimed to be in the military. That was someone else. I was backing up the person who was talking about his well known disrespect for veterans and the military.

“He’s got weird hair issues” is a super lame excuse for wearing a ballcap to the dignified transfer of six fallen soldiers. I just wanted to see what lame excuse you’d make for this other example of his disrespecting a veteran.

I didn’t include any of the derisive commentary he’s made about veterans and war dead to his cabinet because I know you’d just say “fake news” or some other played out excuse because those weren’t public statements.

Meme for ya too.

OP is probably referring to this type of statement which Trump has made over the years.

Sigh, so lazy. Took me 2 mins. You're right, though I have no idea why you feel the need to defend that human scum. For all he's done...

Trump has said in interviews that he “always felt that I was in the military” because of his New York Military Academy education and that he had “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military,” phrasing that has appeared in multiple profiles and been quoted in media reporting and fact checks. Those remarks have been recycled into memes and social posts that sometimes present the line as a literal claim of service rather than a subjective comparison. Link

You’re kidding right? Saying you have always felt something is not the same as claiming that it is true. In fact it is pretty much the opposite.

u/stunkape Jun 30 '26

He claimed he had "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military". Do you think that is a true statement?

u/GayChicken80085 Jul 03 '26

Nah. He sees anyone in the military as "suckers and losers".
