Vice President Joe Biden has never been afraid to speak his mind, and he did so again last night as he took Donald Trump to task for suggesting that some military veterans who suffer from PTSD might not be “strong.” Specifically, the Orange Menace said:
“When people come back from war and combat and they see maybe what the people in this room have seen many times over, and you’re strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can’t handle it.”
Last night while campaigning for Hillary Clinton in Sarasota, Florida, Biden fired back, commenting:
“Where in the hell is he from?! I don’t think he was trying to be mean. He is just so thoroughly, completely uninformed.”
Biden added that the U.S. has only one sacred obligation and that is to “care for those we send to war and to care for them and their family when they come home.” He then noted he doubts Trump could live up to that obligation:
“What are the chances Trump honors commitment to those who are wounded? It’s not just that he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t want to find out.”
What the Vice President said should make every American stop and think. As he has repeatedly proven, Donald Trump only cares about himself and how things affect him. He is quite clearly a narcissist and a sociopath. How could we ever allow this man to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces? Trump would not hesitate to send our troops around the world at the drop of a hat, but what about when they come home? It seems doubtful he would do a damn thing for our vets other than question their personal fortitude if they dared to suggest they needed help dealing with the horrific things they have seen while serving their country.
Donald Trump is not only an asshole, he’s also a threat to everything we hold dear in this country.
