Biden Calls Trump's Reported Comments About U.S. Service Members 'Disgusting' | MSNBC

95 comments

  1. I understand Biden has to say “if it’s true” and “reportedly.” The thing about Trump is that no one is really surprised if it’s true.

  2. Well it’s on video of the monster saying he likes soldiers who don’t get caught when he said McCain wasn’t a war hero. He denies and refuses to address the BOUNTIES Putin put on our soldiers heads. Of course he said and believes our soldiers are losers and suckers for dying defending our nation because he knows it’s the last thing on Earth he would do. That’s why he had false doctor reports about non existent BONE SPURS to get out of serving this country. The monster in the white house is as patriotic as a piece of dung.

    1. @Undiluted and Uncensored How’s that Stratofortress fly-by doing ya. Better get used to it Soviet Russia is the target now.

    2. @Refresh2b The 80s called, they want their foreign policy back. Oh wait…that was your Lord and Saviour Obama.

    3. @Vicarious Johnson The B-52s doing flybys was last week dummy. Thru the Black Sea and Ukraine. Nato probing Soviet Russia defences. Russia wants to play around within other countries sovereignty.

    4. @drr florida
      The video exists from June of 2015. Y ou are obviously a monster supporter because you don’t read or research either🤦🏼‍♀️

    1. @Alex Hamilton Any source is more credible than pathological liar Trump. And it jibes with some of his public comments.

    1. @Tony Gaertner Well aware just hoping there may be one or two that have brain cells that amount to higher than single digits that a spark might go off and they say ” hmm let me look into that”

    2. @Jibreel Lomax Biden was Admiral Asthma then ? Biden had the same (5) amount of deferments. Supposedly had child hood asthma but in his own words was a star HS and College athlete.

    1. @camendiv You’ll never know because this was all made up. Fake news. None of the useful idiots like Lisa Garrison will ever provide any more information than a false accusation.

    2. @Vicarious Johnson I know. You can immediately tell when people are immune to facts. I do this so that the undecided observer can see the difference between sense and nonsense.

  3. Few presidents have given up as much for their country as too many of our troops.
    they deserve respect more then any president, especially this one.

    1. Trump has given more funds to the USA military than any other President in the past few decates….NO one other has come even close to helping out the Military as much as Trump2020..and that is a FACT…Period.

    2. @Art Thomas So tell me, where has that money gone to?
      And what else has he done that has made him the best president for the armed forces in quiet a while?

      Because if you asked me, he is the president who could have served, was requested to serve, and by law even required to serve.
      He faked bone spurs instead.

      The majority of US presidents have actually served in the armed forces by the way.
      Many actually fought in wars as well.
      Both world wars, vietnam, civil war, revolutionary war, etc.
      From regular infantry all the way to Chief of Staff of the United States Army.

      These men helped win wars.
      and then they served, not forgetting their fellow soldiers.

      A mere budget increase is nowhere near what would be required to be considered to be among the greats of pro military presidents, even in recent “decates”

      So i assume you have more reasons?

    3. @Oldschool Gamer Give me the proof he faked the bone spurs…I want to see the doctors list/site that you claim he faked his reasons. Since obviously your not a Doctor. And not all Presidents have served in the military…and were still decent
      Presidents…and mere budget increase as you put it is in the Billions as in “B”…Where Obummer emptied the surplus and removed sources from the Military, but hey that’s not important right…as Obummer never did anything wrong in your mind, Never in the service and with the exception of giving all the funds to the politicians holding his torch. But it is obvious you are just trolling me and TRIGGERED with this pointless question without even looking them up yourself…just #WalkAway and see the light of a better side…You will feel filled with knowledge and power with wisdom and not feel Ignorant as it is not a virtue…check out this report on Sleepy Joey Biden and son…It’s educational and enlightening to the mind…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRmlcEBAiIs. This is the guy you want in the White House along with his Son…God Help us all if this happens…but I do have a strong feeling that a HUGE RED wave is coming…and will. #MAGA #KAG. #GBA. #SaveTheChildren #WalkAway…

    4. ​@Art Thomas ​ http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/trump-draft-deferment?page=0
      1A: available for service
      2-S: student deferment
      1-Y: medical deferment
      4-F: permanent disqualification
      During his time as a student he was deemed healthy enough for service, but the moment he stopped studying, and therefore could no longer rely on his student deferments, he suddenly developed a medical issue which supposedly would leave him unable to serve.
      Trump himself said it was bone spurs.

      Bone spurs can happen if you sport a lot, which trump did back then… however, while early on he played squash, football and tennis, where you might expect bonespurs, in the later years he almost exclusively played golf.

      There is no solid evidence, trump had promised to provide more proof to debunk the claims, mainly the physician’s letter that got him the medical deferment, however, like so many of such promises, he never followed up on that, and requests for that information was never responded to by the white house.

      As for the billions in Military budget increases:
      https://mwi.usma.edu/president-trumps-2019-defense-budget-really-rank-historically/

      Trump may be above average there, but nothing exceptional
      Especially nowhere near what the administration and supporters would suggest.

      And Obama had plenty of faults, the military was one of them.
      Despite the flaws, i do think he wasn’t a bad president though.

      You also sound more triggered then me.
      I also did do some digging before asking, but since so many pro-trumpers come with empty arguments and insults if i make the first move, i instead ask them to elaborate their position instead, allowing for a more constructive conversation.

      Also, “sleepy joe biden” isn’t a thing, he has proven he is sharper then trump in recent weeks as we get closer to the election.

      The red wave is Donald cozying up with Russia, china and N Korea.

      As for the hashtags, i do agree with one, save the children, as some dude figured it would be a good idea to separate them from their parents and lock them in cages…

  4. You go Joe! Good for you for speaking up for all Veterans who have served especially those who have paid dearly with their own lives!🙏

    1. Liz Vasquez when did I defend trump? I asked if there was a video or any form of evidence that he said this… and sure I believe he dodged the draft. But what does that have to do with anything? I think you are projecting your idea of what a “trump supporter” is, onto me.

    2. Chubby Drake No. Filthy stinkin godless arrogant leftist LIARS. NOT any prove, not any fact. Jeffrey Golstein🐽 and his totally fake “four sources” claim in fake NYT, Trump’s helicopter flight to the US/French cemetery 🤣wasn’t cancelled due to weather. FOIA docs, Bolton, all officials prove this 🐽to be false. Their “sources” are failing basic fact checks – making them essentially worthless. Of course, all opinions of the fake news CNN, MSNBC, Atlantic, WashCompost etc. and their arrogant, (pre)possessed, godless, marxist leftist activists are worthless. And destructive for the USA. MAGA 2020-24 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️✝️

    1. @Gerold Atkins Now thats a disgusting comment. Should we be surprised that it comes from a trump supporter.

    2. @Downright Dutch Airlines pity you can’t make a cogent, (look it up )argument. Ranting like the lunatic president doesn’t convince anybody, except the useful idiots, one of which, you appear to be.

    3. Joe Biden is the guy who gave most American jobs to China as well he has promised China that he would stop all Tariffs to China given more companies and Americans jobs to China he has promised China that threw the Green Plan that all contracts would go to China not American companies. The Heads of BLM have come out and said they are Marxist and hate America and with Antifa backed by the Democrats party are Burning flags and Bibles looting and Burning business killing innocent people thats the America they want. History shows the Democrats party are the Party of slavery and under Democratic Socialism you have Enslaved yourself, that’s why they want you to destroy historical statues because most of them are Democratic slave owners. If you forget your history you will repeat it, Karl Marx said it best Socialism is one step to communism. Remember under Socialism you can not have the constitution, you pick? Well Sweden is a Socialists nation, no Sweden is a capitalism country lie again. You get free health care, free schooling, free housing, free money, do you really believe thats true, nothing is free.
      Every Great nation must destroy itself from within before it is destroyed from without.

      Joe Biden LIES about ‘Not Supporting’ Rioters, But Here’s ALL the PROOF You Need!
      https://youtu.be/8WXXg2glD1s

    4. @Helen Maclenan “When my side rants and riots I excuse it, when the other side lacks decorum I condemn it.”

      TYPICAL, HYPOCRITICAL HYPER-LEFTIST.

    1. @Bobby Badmon I would send the GOP’S Senate intelligence committee report itself but would waste my time, you see it your slanted way and that’s fine, but one day this administration will be over then justice will prevail

    2. @Bobby Badmon besides that the there is no need to try and help or hurt Trump, his blind cult does not care for facts or truth

    3. No President has supported our military more than Trump, obozo and biden did there best to destroy our military if you don’t know that you are a MORON. SCREW BIDEN what a LIAR.

    1. What do you mean *about* to become a loser? Trump and his base are the world’s biggest losers and they don’t even realize it. Ignorance is bliss to them.

  5. In 2016 Trump said, “Real power is — fear.” So remember… “When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” [Thomas Jefferson]

    1. @Jock Young I’M confused as to what side he’s on. It’s like a bot algorithm trying to speak a second language.

    2. @OSKA A fridge magnet!?! Hahahaha. Is that your “proof”!?! Hahahaha! You f ing stupid s. A fridge magnet! Hahahahaha!

  6. Remember when Trumpo’s idea of comforting war widows was to tell them their spouses ‘knew what they signed up for’?
    I remember.

    1. @Samuel A the NK nukeprogram continues today. But at least Kim gets to say he had his picture taken with the U.S. president

  7. Tell ’em, Joe. I like candidates who get as angry as I do over the disgraceful way Trump has behaved, all through his presidency. Show some of that anger in the debates and you’re certain to win.

    1. @ღSwnsasyღ _ which senior officials or names of the sources that aren’t part of the that the so called media is quoting.Give some fuc king proof this FAKE NEWS . Thanks

    1. @invisible man Student deferments largely account for Biden’s lack of military service. (He actually went to university and law school on his own merit – no one sat his entrance exams for him>). AND, the important matter in this discussion is that he has never called combat veterans and fallen soldiers, “losers”. That’s a vile thing to do no matter what your level of service, but is particularly odious coming from the mouth of someone as slack and idle as Trump.

    2. @Alex Mitchell When I see video or hear an audio recording of Trump saying those things, I’ll believe them. Until then, it;s just made up MSM BS.

    3. @Vicarious Johnson OK. You are free to keep your head in the sand, but have you never seen/heard the recording of Trump’s assessment of John McCain?

  8. It’s a certainty that Generalissimo Bone Spurs said those things. He needs to thinks everyone’s a loser, to help delude himself that he less of a loser than he knows he is.
