Do you respect what Trump allegedly did here?
Captain Luis Avila, who was a veteran, had a chance to sing in front of hundreds of people including President Trump in 2019.
However, per a new story by the Atlantic, according to the Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Trump approached him after the performance and asked:
โWhy do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.โ
Trump then allegedly told Milley to never let Avila appear in public again.
Is this not a terrible thing for a President to say about a wounded veteran?
Every time I think I couldn't be more disgusted by trump, I am proven wrong.
Remember the story about him calling fallen veterans "losers" and "suckers?"
This one is somehow WORSE: In an article from The Atlantic, General Mark Milley selected a wounded veteran, Luis Avila, to sing "God Bless America."
Avila lost his leg in an IED attack during his 5 combat tours, in addition to suffering two strokes, two heart attacks and brain damage resulting from his injuries.
After the performance, Trump told Milley โWhy do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded,โ and suggested Milley never let him appear in public again -- he said that within earshot of several witnesses.
We CANNOT let that scumbag back into the White House. He is a lowlife of the lowest order.
He is a humiliating skid mark on the underwear of American history.
NEVER AGAIN.
