By staying home on Dec 25 of 2018, Trump became the first president since 2002 who didn't visit military personnel on or before Christmas.
President Obama visited troops at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, in Kaneohe Bay, every Christmas he was in office, from 2009 to 2016.
President Obama traveled to Iraq in April 2009, just a few months after taking office.
Trump was in office for more than 2 years before he visited our troops in a war zone.
Trump also referred to our troop as losersAndSuckers.
In November 2018, FoxNews national security correspondent, Jennifer Griffin confirmed that Trump did call American soldiers “SuckersAndLosers" and had questioned why anyone would want to become a soldier, and had not wanted to honor fallen Americans at the French Aisne-Marne cemetery in 2018.
"My sources include two senior former Trump administration officials who were on the trip to France where these remarks were made. They confirmed key parts of the Atlantic article and certainly described a pattern of behavior by DJT in describing war veterans and wounded warriors that coincides with the description in the Atlantic article," Griffin stated.
Griffin was told by the two Pentagon officials there were no security concerns preventing Trump from attending the ceremony at Aisne-Marne cemetery in France to honor America's fallen soldiers. He simply did not want to go..
Trump responded to the report in pure man-baby fashion, and called for Griffin to be fired for daring to tell the truth about his truly indefensible behavior.
It came as no surprise that other world leaders didn't let a little rain stop them from attending the WW1 memorial ceremony.
The decision prompted harsh criticism on Twitter, with Nicholas Soames, a British member of parliament, who is the grandson of Winston Churchill, saying that Trump was dishonoring U.S. servicemen.
"TheyDiedWith their face to the foe, and that pathetic-Inadequate DJT couldn't even defy the weather to pay his respects to the Fallen", Soames stated.

In September 1994, a little less than a year after Tiffany was born to Trump and his second wife, Marla, the couple appeared on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. “Donald, what does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla’s?” asked host Robin Leach.
“She’s a very beautiful baby,” Trump replied. “She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not”—he put his hands to his chest to indicate her bra size—”she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.”
While Trump was on The View in March 2006, he was asked what he would do if Ivanka was on the cover of P-boy magazine, Trump said it depended on what was inside the magazine and added, “Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.”
In a February 2013 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, during a question and answer game, Williams asked Trump and Ivanka, "What's the favorite thing you have in common with your father?" Ivanka answered, "Either real estate or golf" while Trump added, "Well, I was going to say 5ex."

Even as his casinos did poorly, Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen. And that is Trump in a nutshell. A narcissistic sociopathic con-man who only cares about himself, and will use others to achieve his own self-serving desires.
In interviews with The Times, Trump acknowledged that high debt and lagging revenues had plagued his casinos. He repeatedly emphasized that what really mattered about his time in Atlantic City was that he had made a lot of money there.
Trump assembled his casino empire by borrowing money at such high interest rates — after telling regulators he would not — that the businesses had almost no chance to succeed.
His casino companies made four trips to bankruptcy court, each time persuading bondholders to accept less money rather than be wiped out. But the companies repeatedly added more expensive debt and returned to the court for protection from lenders.
After narrowly escaping financial ruin in the early 1990s by delaying payments on his debts, Trump avoided a second potential crisis by taking his casinos public and shifting the risk to stockholders.
And he never was able to draw in enough gamblers to support all of the borrowing. During a decade when other casinos there thrived, Trump’s lagged, posting huge losses year after year. Stock and bondholders lost more than $1.5 billion.
Trump now says that he left Atlantic City at the perfect time. Well no sh't. He left after he had ruined everything, and there was no more money for him to grift. The record shows that he struggled to hang on to his casinos years after the city had peaked, and failed only because his investors no longer wanted him in a management role..
He just did not put the equity into the projects he should have to keep them solvent,” said H. Steven Norton, a casino consultant. “When he went bankrupt, he not only cost bondholders money, but he hurt a lot of small businesses that helped him construct the Taj Mahal.”
In an interview with the Times, Trump said “Atlantic City was a very good cash cow for me for a long time.” Like a true sociopath, Trump boasts about how he ravaged Atlantic City, without any regard for all the people and businesses he hurt along the way.
Beth Rosser of West Chester, Pa., is still bitter over what happened to her father, whose company Triad Building Specialties nearly collapsed when Trump took the Taj into bankruptcy. It took three years to recover any money owed for his work on Trump's casino" she said, and her father received only 30 cents on the dollar.
“Trump crawled his way to the top on the back of little guys, one of them being my father,” said Ms. Rosser, who runs Triad today. “He had no regard for the thousands of men and women who worked on those projects."
“He put a number of local contractors and suppliers out of business when he didn’t pay them,” said Steven P. Perskie, who was New Jersey’s top casino regulator in the early 1990s. “So when he left Atlantic City, it wasn’t, ‘Sorry to see you go.’ It was, ‘How fast can you get the he// out of here?’”

DJT sat in the White House, and watched theVio.lence that unfolded on our nation's Capitol for at least two whole hours, without doing anything and without saying a word, other than to blast his own Vice President, who eventually had to flee for his life.
The truth of the matter is, if he had not filled his followers heads with lies for months, and if he had not held that rally, where he instructed his followers to march to the Capitol and fight like he// in order to "stop the steal" the insurrection never would have happened. Because without the use of vio.lence, how else were they going to stop the so called steal?
The election was over. The only thing that remained was for Pence to count and certify the electoral votes. So the only thing they could've been fighting for, was to bring a stop to the counting of the electoral votes, which would officially certify Biden as the next democratically elected president.
AndVio.lence was the only option they had left. DJT had already exhausted every other legal and illegal option. So on January 6th, theViolence card was the only card he had left, and he played it.
The insurrection was Trump's revenge against our democracy and our Constitution.
It was his way of getting back at everyone who didn't vote for him, and those who refused to violate our Constitution on his behalf. Watching his followers storm the Capitol while wearing his hat and waving flags emblazoned with his name, was the greatest day of his presidency. He had never felt more like the dictator he's always wanted to be than he did on that day. And he reveled in it.

He's a criminal minded narcissistic sociopath. He always has been. His own sister said he is a horrible human being..
A Trump quote from 2004, in response to a Larry King Live caller asking him how he handles stress during a crisis.
Trump: “I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter."
Spoken like the true sociopath that he is. And Trump meets pretty much every diagnostic criterion of a sociopath..
● Manipulative and Conning:
They never recognize the rights of others, and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
● Grandiose Sense of Self:
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
● Pathological Lying:
Has no problem lying coolly and easily, and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.
● Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt:
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims, and accomplices, who will also end up as victims. ( Cohen, Manafort, Stone, Flynn) The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
● Shallow Emotions:
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced, and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would usually upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
● Callousness/Lack of Empathy:
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
● Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature:
Rage and abuse. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
● Irresponsibility/Unreliability:
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
When it comes to being a sociopath, Trump checks all the boxes.
