Donald Trump constantly claims that he loves and respects American veterans, even though he himself managed to get out of serving in Vietnam by having a doctor give him a medical deferment for bone spurs in the heel of one of his feet. Which foot? Hell, Trump can’t even remember anymore, which tells you a lot about this man who lies about everything.
Saturday afternoon, Trump took to Twitter and sent out this notice, no doubt hoping to get lots of praise for his actions:
Getting ready to visit Walter Reed Medical Center with Melania. Looking forward to seeing our bravest and greatest Americans!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 22, 2017
He just had to make sure everyone knew where he would be heading on his Saturday instead of playing golf for the umpteenth time, didn’t he? Most presidents just go to Walter Reed and don’t bother to broadcast it on social media. This is supposed to be about the soldiers, but, as usual, Trump has to make it all about him.
Others on Twitter noticed what Trump was doing and they quickly called him out:

Get some x-rays for your 'bone spurs' while you are there.

Is Melania going to have to do this, while you're there? #resist pic.twitter.com/L5tk3yStkr

They are brave as long as they aren't captured right? Didn't you say that once ?

Too bad our President was such a coward that he skipped the military…
— Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) April 22, 2017
And I'm sure they're looking forward to seeing our most corrupt and narcissistic American!

Fine. While you're there would you please get evaluated by a gerontologist or mental health professional? Asking for a country.

It’s too bad you had a heel spur or you would probably have led us to victory in Vietnam, being you are so tough and smart. How is it now?

Everything is a photo op, and everyone is a prop for you.

The only thing it seems reasonable to assume when it comes to Trump and hospitalized veterans is that he intends to create thousands more of them with the wars he’s currently planning in his perverted little brain.
