YOUR president just told a pregnant widow of a fallen soldier that her loved one “knew what he signed up for”. this is honestly the worst it can get as far as “disrespecting our troops”……… this is fucking repulsive. The only time sjw tumblr will ever side with anyone military affiliated. Ever.Look further in the notes. It’s ‘cause he’s black. And he does deserve respect, but tumblr only virtue signals because of his race.Ok, this is the first time I have seen the full quote - but “he knew what he signed up for… but when it happens, it hurts anyway” seems actually like a somewhat reassuring phrase? Like he’s saying that you know there’s a chance of death, and you try to prepare yourself for it, but no matter how prepared you think you are, having it happen will hurt regardless.I am not one to defend Trump, but it certainly seems like this was taken out of context. I’ve only heard the first part of the quote, which does sound dismissive and disrespectful. But the full quote does sound somewhat less negative.I dunno.This is also the first time I’ve seen the full quote, and it’s been all over the news for, what, a week now? It didn’t even seem that offensive on it’s own, but I figured there was some context being ignored.Just because it’s what Trump h8rs usually do.You know, it’s kinda ironic. I defend Trump a lot on this blog (something I never want to say) but like. I almost want him to say something terrible and it go big like the fake stuff does. So that when literally everyone says “yeah no he can fuck right off”, the left loses all their ammo. Again, it’s not like the anti-Trump folks generally care about facts and context. They’d just ignore it the next time.It’s to the point where I read a headline and don’t even need to investigate to know the exact way in which it’s bullshit. I read this headline and immediately thought bullshit I guarantee this is half the quote taken out of context. The media has made it impossible to legitimately criticize Trump for anything because. People didn’t stop trusting them because Trump called them fake news he called them fake news because they’re full of shit. It’s the corporate media empires that cried Hitler. Trump could go out and murder a baby in the street and get away with it because there’s no way I’d believe it. You’ve inoculated the world with lies. Imagine the balls it takes to see the full quote, witness the context for yourself report half of it without the context and call him detestable for it. Fuck you.I really wish folks’d stop making me defend awful people over imaginary shit, when the real awful shit is overflowing. -- source link
