No, he doesn’t understand. Any more than the Vet who gave it to him doesn’t understand that he just legitimized someone that has no respect for what the medal truly represents.

Any more than the military folks that intend to vote for him to save America don’t understand that this is not what will happen. And don’t be misled. There are more military that insist that DT is the way, the truth and the light.

Every day I wondered what outrageous thing Orange Julius Caesar would say. It appears to now be an hourly occurrence.

Just like the cool million he took from daddy to ‘start out on his own’.

The tiny-fingered vulgarian shouldn’t be in the same building with anything dealing with honor and sacrifice.

And yet, Trump could shoot himself on Fifth Avenue and not lose any votes!
Actually, if he was Commander-in-Chief at the time, that might get him a purple heart.
Although, a Secret Service agent might try to stop the bullet.

But NBC News’ Katy Tur reported shortly afterward that the veteran told her the medal was a copy of his Purple Heart.

Roger Stone will Tweet Katy Tur’s boyfriend fights for ISIS. 3…2…1…

He’d have to be sure not to shoot himself in the foot, he’d lose a few teeth.

I’d prefer the secret service agent award a medal to the bullet instead.

Are there any TPM’ers who are veterans who can address this situation? Isn’t this considered to be highly disrespectful?

Exactly, that’s because he doesn’t know why a purple heart is awarded.
