Apparently he is unaware that several of Hitler's generals tried to assassinate him, and in the end Hitler called all of them traitors.

We worry for you, America. Please do the right thing. Your choice of leadership will impact the rest of the world.

[leannafardoe]

Why is he even allowed to run for POTUS??? Deplorable person!!

[alanbarker]

That is unbelievable ignorance not knowing about Rommel.

[janettedford]

He needs to go to prison that's what he needs

It’s so sad this country has come to this 😢

[glennsmith]

I'm guessing that trump's annoyance on the military funeral costs was based on his experience burying Ivana Trump on the Back 9 at Bedminster. Heartless.

[Soapgirl]

I will never understand his CULT. I will never understand anyone who supports him. He MUST NOT get back in the White House

[JamesAllmond]

and folks will still vote for him. some in the military... be scared folks, very scared. VOTE!

[FlipperKelly]

Wake-up America !! He should not be on a ballot

[pennyking]

The problem is not that this surprises anyone, the problem is we have come to accept this type of speaking as normal because it's " just Trump being Trump"

[BitchbetterHavemymoney-kf]

This is dangerous! May God protect this great nation, and all of us!!!!

[jamescox]

Just another daily act of outrageousness. How few even remember his disgraceful, disrespectful visit to Arlington where he held an illegal photo op? He commits such offenses daily, wearing us down until we are simply numb.

[robertenyart]

Even a few of Hitler's generals tried to have Hitler bumped off.

[Trumpulator]

This is who the Conservative Christian Evangelical Republicans are.

[posthocprior]

This is so frightening. About half of the American electorate wants to elect a dictator.
