Sorry Don, but I regret to inform you, that not only are you NOT loved by American troops, but your wife doesn't even love you.đ
Obama visited our Troops overseas 7 times. That's not even counting the multiple times he visited our troops at military bases here in America during the holidays. Obama visited our troops in Iraq just 3 months after taking office. Traitor Trump waited TWO WHOLE YEARS before he visited our troops for the first time in Iraq. And that was only after he was pushed to do so by advisers.Â
I have no doubt that Trump complained about having to make that trip to visit our troops the same way he complained about attending the memorial ceremony for our fallen in France.
Trump: "Why do I have to fly all the way to Iraq just to visit troops. They're a bunch of losers anyway."
And then when he finally made the trip, he turned that visit into a campaign rally for himself and used our troops as political props. Trump continues to show his contempt for our men and women in uniform with his silence concerning the Russian bounties placed on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan. To this day, he has not uttered one word about it. NOT.....ONE.
I knew back in 2016 before the election that Trump had no respect for our military the moment he said he knew more about fighting wars than our Generals do. He basically claimed to know more about fighting wars than Generals like Grant, Patton, Washington, MacArthur, Eisenhower, as well as our current living Generals like Mattis. This preposterous claim came from a draft dodger who has NEVER served one day in the military.
It goes without saying, that ONLY a vindictive draft dodging traitor, who has nothing but contempt for the men and women in our military, would utter something as outrageous and insulting as that. That was all I needed to hear.

Several wealthy Russians were âgranted unusual accessâ to Trump inauguration parties back in January 2017. The tycoons were given unprecedented access to Trumpâs inner circle.
Rick Gates was heavily involved in planning the inauguration, with a Yahoo News report in 2016 calling him the âshadow chairâ of the event. There have long been serious questions about the money behind Trumpâs inauguration â and where, exactly, it all went. Trumpâs inaugural committee raised an astonishing $106.7 million, double the previous record set by Obamaâs 2009 inaugural. But what they did with it isnât so clear. The chair of GW Bushâs 2nd inauguration, Greg Jenkins, said he was baffled. âTrump had a third of the staff and a quarter of the events that we had, and yet they raise at least twice as much as we did,â he said. âSo thereâs the obvious question: Where did it go? I donât know.â
The inauguration caught law enforcementâs attention back while it was happening. Counterintelligence officials at the FBI were concerned by an unusual presence of politically connected Russians in DC during the event â including some of the exact people who âhad surfaced in the agencyâs investigation of the Trump campaignâs ties to Russia.â
Back in June of 2017, ABC News reported that Muellerâs investigators wanted to know why several billionaires with âdeep ties to Russiaâ got access to âexclusive, invitation-only receptionsâ during the inauguration.
It is against the law for foreign nationals to donate to a presidential inaugural committee. Mueller was exploring whether wealthy Russians used âstraw donorsâ with American citizenship to steer money into the inauguration. Sometime around March of 2018, Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg flew in to a NY on a private plane â and was met there by Muellerâs investigators, who questioned him and searched his electronic devices.
Vekselberg is the owner of the Renova Group, a Russian conglomerate with aluminum and oil interests, and is one of the richest people in Russia. His cousin, Andrew Intrater, an American citizen who runs a US company tied to Vekselbergâs company, donated $250,000. Intrater had also kicked in $35,000 to the Trump Victory Committee..
Vekselberg and Intrater attended Trumpâs inauguration together, and at the January 19 candlelight dinner, they were seated with Trumpâs lawyer, Cohen.. Later that year, that company run by Intrater paid Cohenâs shell company, Essential Consultants LLC, $500,000 â for, they claimed, real estate advice. A 1million inaugural donation came from Leonard Blavatnik, who runs a company called Access Industries. Blavatnik was on the guest list for the January 19 candlelight dinner too.
Blavatnik is a Soviet-born, UK-based billionaire who is a US citizen. He is also partnered with Vekselberg, in Russiaâs aluminum industry. Together, they built the largest aluminum company in Russia by merging with Oleg Deripaskaâs Rusal. Deripaska is also a player in Mueller's investigation â he employed Manafort, and Manafort tried to get in touch with him during 2016.
Alexander Mashkevitch, a Kazakh mining billionaire, was on the guest list for the âcandlelight dinner,â and happens to have been in the Seychelles around the same time as Erik Prince.
And Natalia Veselnitskaya and Rinat Akhmetshin, who attended Don Jrâs infamous Trump Tower meeting, were in town too â they attended an inauguration night party thrown by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), whoâs widely viewed as the biggest supporter of Putinâs regime in Congress.
Several people involved in previous inaugurations were quoted expressing puzzlement over how Trumpâs team could have possibly spent over $100 million for what they got. But if there is anyone who might know where much of the money went, it is Rick Gates.
