"Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon ... to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln's statue."

An utter disgrace, made possible by a man who despises our country, our constitution, the rule of law and great Americans like Lincoln responsible for America’s survival.

Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — [servicemembers] who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID.

many dreams of grandeur and as president, he seems to think it all belongs to him. He tends to look at life as a Hollywood production and he is the writer, producer, director, and of course the main star.

That from the United States “president” who can’t fathom the concept of sacrifice and who doesn’t want to be seen with veteran amputees.

Beyond sickening.

It feels like he goes out of his way to offend people, daring people to challenge him.

Honor guard for "cage fighters"? Really? WTAF!!! I guess he's trying to appeal to his uneducated, male, limp member base again.

Who's going to show up to watch this garbage? Beyond pathetic, that's who.

I'm a 79-year-old former military veteran. Actually, the third member in four generations who wore a US military uniform in WW I, WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq. At 79, I am still in the battle to demand our presidents obey the U.S. Constitution as written PERIOD! I listen to LegalAF to stay non-lawyer-informed about how the Trump administration ignores its duty to ensure compliance with the Constitution. If this former 18-year-old followed the Constitution, so should the entire Trump administration.


[
Those of us who are still alive cannot believe the extent of his disrespect for those who have served and those who still wear the uniform.
