Trump told these wounded soldiers it was ‘pretty good” and ‘amazing they got hit, and there’s not enough facepalm in the world
On Wednesday, Donald Trump welcomed a number of injured former soldiers to the White House, where he gave them MAGA hats and commemorative coins.
President Trump welcomed wounded warriors into the Oval Office — American heroes who have given more than we can ever repay. Their strength humbles us. Their sacrifice defines us. They are the heart of this nation, and we will never forget what they gave for our freedom. pic.twitter.com/FMH4UMmtHM

Never let it be said that the man has been overburdened with empathy, as this bizarre exchange demonstrated.

It’s vying with Vance asking Zelenskyy if he’d said ‘thank you’ on the Oval Office cringe-o-meter, and the comments reflect that.

Historians are going to look back on this time and will question how this was allowed to happen twice. https://t.co/sn4FuAh0jd

"Hey, I got hit too, took one for the country in the ear, didn't feel a thing, was it like that for you guys, did someone get a photo?"

Yesterday Trump is "looking forward" to attending the Popes funeral. Today it's "So you guys got hit, huh? Pretty good. You got hit. Amazing."

I’m old enough to remember when the “suckers and losers” five time draft dodger accepted a veteran’s Purple Heart and then said he “…always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.” https://t.co/TDXadEiZFv

He is incapable of empathy and a fucking narcissistic sociopath

Did someone tell him not to call them "suckers and losers" in public?

Trump treats wounded veterans like props and pain like spectacle. There’s no respect in that, just performative garbage.

He sounds so disinterested and checked out. He's not even listening. It's like introducing your college roommate to your great grandfather. "Oh yeah, huh. Chemistry major. That's great. Ok. What's for lunch?" https://t.co/VQNG7GRbMG
