West Point Graduates To Return To Campus After Trump’s Surprise Move | Deadline | MSNBC
Can’t they just get a doctors note saying they have bone spurs and cannot attend?
Lol
EXCELLENT IDEA!!!
Love it
You have to be rich enough to be able to pay a doctor off in order to give you such letter.
$ Cha-Ching $……..WINNER
A keynote speech from Captain Bone Spurs himself. Hooray for those students. A free comedy show!
@wee huddy – lol!! Singing *”You Light Up My Coronavirus”.*
@Just For Fun Encore with their biggest hit ‘ My Corona … ‘ I just KNEW they would play it !
Trump :”I’d like to take this time to demonstrate how someone that could avoid serving their country with 5 deferments…and now look at me..I’m in control of all of you!”
@wee huddy – And now that tRumpy claims that light might cure the virus, *_I’m only drinking ‘Corona Light’._* 🤣🤣🤣
@hankakah – lol! Apparently I can’t make comparisons with things like t r u m p speaking at the Cadets graduation is like h i t l e r ser ving as the r a b b i at a S y n a g o g u e. lol! Got d leted twice. lol!
Sippy Cup Caligula cant pass up on putting on a rally.
It’s because he’s fake. He has to force people to like him.
Dre-Day 1127 — Nice sentiment, but it absolutely will work. Why? Because his followers, what I call trumpets, have “FAITH” in him believing he was appointed by God to save the nation from the evil baby killing sexual deviants intent on destroying America Democrats. Understand this… NOTHING matters! What he does, says, all irrelevant! Why? Because THEIR cause is godly, blessed by god and all the goofs, mistakes, murders, adultery, lies, deception, evil machinations… ALL BLESSED BY AND SANCTIONED BY GOD! How do y’all not see this?
@Septembers Whisper But not against Trump. This has nothing to do with the election or what Biden would do. It has to do with the safety of those cadets. Trump is wrong to try to bring them back so that he can give a speech.
@Maje Brennan You are living in fear of a virus with a 99% survival rate.
@Septembers Whisper Not at all. I have great respect for the virus. I have a friend in Michigan who lost both her mother and MIL with in days of each other. I have a husband who has COPD and heart disease. I’m also fortunate to be stationed in Germany. One of two countries that have managed to control the virus instead of letting it control them. Things are much worse in the States. Even in Italy, younger people weren’t dying from COVID 19. They are in the States.

Serious case of mental illness distorts his judgement
I believe it’s an advanced and undiagnosed STD
@Laura Zaboraski – STD=Smart tRump Disorder. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just For Fun not even close…..not even close
@Laura Zaboraski he’s been syphilic for decades
Why? His speech won’t Congratulate them…. it will, as usual, be ALL ABOUT DONNIE 😈
his “eulogy” for his father was all about himself (his nominal point: fred must have been a genius fantastic guy bc he had trump as his son).
not kidding.
he’ll probably make his speech on how great the economy is and how the past administration left our stock pile empty then want to make a toast with lysol cofefe cocktails

So much for him caring for our troops, he’s now willing to expose them to the virus , and marn them in the long term, and there familys, all this for his EGO.
You’re acting as if you’re surprised. Mental illness has seriously rendered this president incompetent. I worry for these young cadets; they shouldn’t have to be risked just because of his ego. Then again, this is Trump we’re talking about.
@Terry R Who’s acting I alway knew trump was and still is all about him. and that’s one reason I did not or ever will vote for him..
Come on when are the generals going to step in. He can’t be trusted with peoples kids!
I notice the Admiral sorted out the mess the administration left when they fired that Captain.
Yeah. The draft dodger forcing future heroes to listen to his speech a.k.a. MAGA rally. This is beyond absurd!
What’s he going to tell the new troops?? *” Hey kids, here is how you can get out of actual service duty. Get your daddy to lie about your medical conditions.”* ???
It truly is.
And since he IS a draft dodger he should not be speaking up period.
Putting these kids lives in danger to soothe his insane ego is beyond horrendous!

What does a draft dodger say in his commencement address at West Point?
Glad you guys are here, I never would have done this.
He will probably make up a story about that he really was in the armed service. Secret mission.
I wonder if he will be handing out his doctors business cards?
He can tell them that he has killed more ppl than Viet nam
@orphan 200 You may recall Trump referred to taking risks sexually in the 80s was his personal vietnam. he is not a funny guy. maybe he contracted syphillis and it has gone to his brain.

Narcissism at its most egregious and grotesque..endangering the lives of hundreds of cadets in the name of vanity and to distract from his incompetence and COVID..
Exactly, the POS has to one up pence and forced cadets to attend his rally
Trumpiteers, get a good look at how your president gets down. What he’s willing to do, in order to wag your tails. Trump does too much to defend, Wake up!
Grotesque and downright criminal.
This doesn’t distract from his incompetence it proves it even more! Grrrrrrrrr !!!
And there he is, the commander in chief of the armed forces. Tells you a lot, like you needed to know, about his “character “
After looking like a dunce for suggesting people ingest home cleaner he’s using these graduates as props in order to look presidential.
You’re being kind to king trumpy… He wanted us to inject Lysol & Clorox…. Madness know no bounds…

The sun will help. Also bring the disinfectant. Remember his uncle was a doctor. He gets this stuff.
Goid stuff banG.
Yes, West Point to hold meetings under the sun. Cadets can sleep under the sun.
Killing American troops to serve his own ego.
That’s what passes for leadership in the GOP.
You just noticing!?😠🇺🇸
Well, soldiers should die for their commander.
Jee Wi Har —wrong, soldiers/patriots die for their COUNTRY not leader/commander
@Jee Wi Har not to service their commander’s ego.
Like as usual he will never take responsibility if anything happens to them
Risking the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, just to feed his ego.
The 5 deferment commander bonespurs can order them all back
in the words of Abe Lincoln ” that’s about the size of it”
He’s desperate to have any kind of rally
Not only that but he said he will not allow social distancing during graduation because it won’t “look good”. Look good during the photo OP I guess…

CadetBoneSpurs tRump is endangering these West Point Graduates!
The cadets should stand up and turn their backs on this Impeached ‘president.’ This draft dodger deserves no respect.
black bird, this is a good idea. I’m afraid though that they’d get in some kind of trouble but I don’t know
@foosgoalie they cannot make this kind of protest without jeopardizing their careers. The symbolism for the rest of us would be impressive, but we’re also ‘sniping from cover’ whereas they’d be headline news and who knows, might face demotion, discharge, or worse, jail time.
Oui c’est ce qu’il faut faire. Je l’ai fait et en même temps mis un coup de poings à un général. Je rentrais d’une mission ou il m’a envoyé des “petits” mal formés, OK, 18 de ces enfants sont morts. Quand il a voulu me décorer il a dis ” Ces hommes sont morts pour une bonne cause’boum en plein dans sa grosse gueule. Arrèté de suite, mes soldats se sont retourné et lui ont montré le cu. J’ai été foutu la porte de l’armé; demis demes droits civil, interdit à tout travail public. Je vous dis “JE NE LE REGRETTE PAS ET SI C’ÉTAIT A REFAIRE ,JE LE REFAIS et certainement en face d’un “type” comme Trump qui ne mérite pas les respect que l’on lui devrait si il en aurait valu la peine.
I would be proud of them. A vote of no confidence is more than appropriate. It is a show of strength and honesty. Take a stand young soldiers.

He needs a crowd to Brag about how Great He is.
West Point’s Cadet Honor Code states simply that “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Ample reason for a no show.
VERY GOOD COMMENT!!!
It would be wonderful if even one of these cadets did not show up as you say and then when disciplined, have the bravery to take draft dodger Donny to court and cite this honor code as a defense. A go fund me would raise ample money for lawyers and public scrutiny would make it very difficult for any of Donny’s tame judges to not rule in favour of the cadet ! ……..ah well it won’t happen but it would be so nice to see.
I wish and I pray that they would collectively take a stand and no show for his ridiculous farce .

“Everything Trump touches dies.” Not always. Sometimes it spreads and multiples.
