5 OF TRUMP'S MOST CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS ABOUT U.S. SOLDIERS AND VETERANS
๐บ๐ธ 1. On American soldiers killed in war (2020):
"Losers" and "suckers."
โ Reported by The Atlantic and subsequently corroborated in part by former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. Trump denied the remarks.
๐บ๐ธ 2. On Vietnam War POW John McCain (2015):
"He's not a war hero."
โ Trump, Family Leadership Summit, Iowa. Recorded on video.
๐บ๐ธ 3. On American prisoners of war (2015):
"I like people that weren't captured."
โ Trump, referring to John McCain. Recorded on video.
๐บ๐ธ 4. On fallen American soldiers (2017):
"I don't get it. What was in it for them?"
โ Trump, according to former Chief of Staff John Kelly, describing remarks at Arlington National Cemetery. Trump disputed Kelly's account.
๐บ๐ธ 5. On soldiers awarded the Medal of Honor (2024):
"It's actually much better."
โ Trump, comparing the civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom favorably with the military Medal of Honor. Recorded on video.
Like Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, I can't believe I'm hearing these words coming out of his mouth. Hegseth has the gall to invoke Veterans Day as a reason for not impeaching him. No, Pete, servicemen's service is not a crime, just yours is.

Today we honor the extraordinary sacrifice and courage of the millions of men and women who have served our country.
As a nation, we must keep our promise to our veterans and their families and ensure they get all the benefits they earned. Happy Veterans Day.
Having an incompetent, traitorous piece of sh*t like @SecWar leading the Military is a slap in the face to every single human being who has ever served this country.
They deserve better.
#VeteransDay2026
Today is Veteran's Day, a day Trump and Republicans pretend to care about the troops who served our country.
Unless it's a PR opportunity, veterans never cross their mind until it's time to vote against them.

Two former female US navy admirals fired by ex Fox News host and now US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth have both won congressional seats in the US . Now they may get the opportunity to impeach him. Karma can be wonderful, especially for manic misogynists!
This is DISGRACEFUL!
Pete Hegseth has been using internet searches to help decide whether highly qualified military officers deserve promotions.
They were looking to see if these decorated officers had participated in diversity events, celebrated International Womenโs Day, supported COVID vaccinations, or attended events recognizing minority service members.
Hegseth is putting his personal culture war ahead of military readiness. Our troops deserve better. He needs to GO!

Are you telling me weโre spending tax dollars to subsidize rent for Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller & Pam Bondi in homes on military bases typically reserved for top military brass - but weโre cutting tax dollars on SNAP to feed hungry American children. Oh, hell no.
Congressman: Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7th, 1941. How long did it take for the US to have its first major victory in World War II in the Pacific theater?
Pete Hegseth: A number of years.
Congressman: No, it was actually 6 months. It was the Battle of Midway. It was a turning point of World War II.
๐จ Rep. Sarah Jacobs left Pete Hegseth STUNNED in a hearing.
With 2,500 Marines from her district off the coast of Iran and military families calling her office in panic, she asked the question no one else would:
โDo you believe the president is mentally stable enough to be Commander-in-Chief?โ
Hegseth deflected hard.
Ladies and gentlemen she didnโt flinch.
She dropped this on top of it:โIf you think this is what winning looks likeโฆ maybe we should be questioning your mental stability.โ
Pure accountability.
No notes.
It takes a woman to say what needs to be said when lives and billions of dollars are on the line. The midterms wimnigs were clearly ahead of their time.
Yโall do know that yesterdayโs vote was NOT a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, right?
It was a procedural vote on whether to REFER the articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee.
A YES vote meant sending the articles to committee rather than proceeding immediately with impeachment.
A NO vote meant rejecting that procedural maneuver so the impeachment effort could potentially move forward.
Nobody voted on whether to actually impeach Pete Hegseth yesterday.
And yes, I understand why some of yโall are upset that several Democrats got stuck in traffic and missed the vote. The vote was reportedly open for approximately 23 minutes, and some members arrived after it closed.
But even if those Democrats had made it and defeated the referral motion, that STILL would not have meant Pete Hegseth was impeached. The House would have needed to vote on the actual articles.
We can discuss accountability without misrepresenting what happened.
The misinformation on this app is dangerous, especially when people are repeating things they clearly do not understand.
Learn the difference between a procedural vote and a substantive vote before telling everybody what Congress did.
