Donald Trump insults veterans yet again

Former President Donald Trump lauded a wealthy donor on whom he bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom as having gotten the "better" award compared to the top military honor, the Medal of Honor, because those recipients are often deceased or injured. The Morning Joe panel discusses Trump's insult against veterans.

Amen: these medals are not WON. They are awarded. It’s an honor not a prize.

[yoshihiroitabashi]

I'm not american, but no matter the country you don't disrespect your veterans. This is disgusting behavior from him.

Edit: spelling

[JackKennedy-fr]

He is sick, mocking military veterans and even worse, disabled military veterans.

My grandfather was at DDay and was awarded with a silver star and medal of honor. He lost his hearing when a landmine explored. He was in General Pattons 3rd army. How dare he say this. My grandfather had ptsd and had nightmares decades after WW2 ended. He is a hero in my book. This treatment should not be tolerated and should be removed from the ballot

So tired of this horrible person, I can’t believe people still support him. Voting Blue for Freedom !!

[alexamerling]

No idea how any veteran can support this guy. I know plenty who can't stand him but the number should be like 100% who hate him

Retired VA nurse here. If you served one minute you served our country whether you saw combat or not you served our country. Thank you veterans.

Trump just being Trump = rude and insulting - nothing new just more of a sick feeling that this guy could be POTUS again.

[LD-bvpm]

This is possibly the worst thing he's said about vets. And he just can't hide his obsession with appearance, it's very creepy.

[Volk-eibx]

How in the world can a Veteran, active Soldier and their Families vote for this terrible guy?? Drives me nuts.

[metyner]

I am a United States Army Retired Veteran. This absolutely makes me sick . He is so disrespectful and disgusting. He actually disrespected every Veteran that has ever served our Country. Regardless of your political affiliation this was disgusting.

[naeemjai]

Anyone who thinks like that should NEVER EVER....be COMMANDER IN CHIEF...for the MILITARY ...of this

[MaryJaneGozales]

Losing my dad in the Vietnam war was hard growing up without him.. And for trump to criticize our veterans is heartbreaking. They will always be heroes.

[samoramachel]

I am a veteran and a independent. As a wounded combat veteran, I don't know how anyone who's served and knows these statements to be true can support this person. I have no respect for anyone who can speak of John McCain as he did! Indeed, he's a Charlie Foxtrot!

[SounderMom]

How can any soldier or veteran vote for this guy in good conscience? It blows my mind.

[gwendolynross]

And who were these idiots that applauded him. These cult members really scare me. He hasn't even begun to become unhinged .

[shoppersdream]

I am a disabled veteran. DT, you will never get my vote and I hope that any Veteran who has self-respect for himself/herself and for other veterans will not vote for you. Let us vote for Harris/Walz.

[roxannephilbrick]

As a mother of a Veteran, he makes me sick, my Daughter put her life on the line for this Country.

[jeffhuggins]

I'm a Republican for over 45 years and would never vote for Trump even if he was the only one running I would vote none of the above. But this year I'm voting for Harris and

[susanlhebden]

How can anyone or famalies of any veteran servicemen could dream of voting for
