Medal of Freedom : paid in cash.
Medal of Honor : paid in blood.

Miriam Adelson is a shame on the face of Nevada.

Shady Vance now is reduced to "well, he really meant was, " but it makes it worse

[D.A.OhK.]

JV trying to apologize for Trump's idiotic treachery is shameful.

My husband is a retired Army colonel. I was an Army wife for 30 years. Neither my husband nor I would ever vote for this man. He isn’t worthy to even speak the name of any veteran or active duty personnel. He’s never served and doesn’t even know the meaning of the Medal of Honor. This makes me so so angry. 😡

[rossalynmoore]

This man is his own worse enemy. Let him keep talking his way to a loss in November.

What felon34 is basically saying: I like people who donate $100 million to me more than soldiers that gave their life for this country.

HE IS DESPICABLE

[beverlymartin]

What a horrific individual. She donated $400, 000. She bought the medal----

[wolfmangoland]

He’s a disgraceful, heartless sociopath. His blatant ignorance and deep-seated hatred for our veterans is nothing short of appalling and beyond comprehension.

[TheAjatin]

How vets vote for this guy is beyond me.

[lrod]

If you are a Veteran and still not fazed by this go read the plan for Veterans in Project 2025…. Maybe that will wake your ass up…

[lewiscoolguy]

We will remember his dishonor. in November. Our veterans are not just cannon fodder for his politics.

[noalternativefacts]

Trumps comments are shameful... as a Veteran, I honestly don't understand how any other Veterans' can support Trump!

[dankeith]

Trump has a sick sick mind. And some people intend to vote for him ? Its beyond belief

[AM_Radio]

Trump just keeps saying more stupid things every day. It's almost like he isn't even trying anymore. He's pretty much helping Harris get elected everytime he opens his mouth. The Trump Train is off the rails and is heading straight down the mountain.

I believe Gen. Kelly. I served on his staff for three years as a Navy LCDR. He is a great man and great Marine. Trump is a punk. It’s that simple.

[arthurplant]

As a Combat Veteran, I'm voting for someone who care for our military VOTE BLUE!

[judd]

Just another slap in the face to those who are willing to serve in the military and defend their country--the opposite of Trump who served himself during his term as POTUS and dodged the draft as a youth.

[quacker]

Unnecessary equivalence that insults our hero’s - basically typical trump

[williamrose]

Trump's sociopathic ignorance continues to astound.
