Trump is responsible for this defacing of the graves of those who died to preserve the freedoms and flag which he besmirches by swaddling himself in it. This barbarian actually believes he can grab our nation’s deceased heroes by the short hairs and despicably appropriate their valor and ultimate patriotism for his own psychotic self-aggrandizement. Trump is a human buzzard who lives off the superior humanity of the nation’s genuine, dead heroes. This disgusting filth -- the moron’s moron -- is a traitor par excellence who merits the ultimate penalty.

S. E. R. E Training (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) was a part of my preparation for duty in Vietnam along with weapons training at Camp Pendleton.

During the final stage we spent a week in a simulation of a North Vietnamese POW camp.

I won't go into all the details of the difficulties of torture, fear, deprivation and emotional distress which occurred during the "simulated" prison camp. It began to feel REAL.

On the last morning they took down the NVA flag, raised the American flag and gave us food. (A 55 gallon barrel of oatmeal) Which, after 3 weeks of starvation, was a real treat

When they raised that American flag the feeling of patriotism sent chills through me and probably every other man who had been through this with me.

For the last decade the Republican party has somehow believed that Trumpism is "patriotic." MAGA folks have come to think that the orange moron hugging an American flag gives them, and only them, ownership of our country's symbol.

It is the opposite of patriotism to support the monstrous criminal and would be dictator.

I'm hopeful that we, the people, can overcome this traitorous monster and unite ALL Americans to FINALLY rid our country of this tumor on the nation's soul.
