President Biden’s D-Day Speeches At Normandy Beach And Point Du Hoc France Made America Proud On The World Stage. The Same Brave Young Rangers Who Fought And Died There 80 Years Ago To Save Democracy Against Hitler’s Nazi Invasion Of Europe Are Some Of The Same Soldiers Trump Called “Losers And Suckers” On A Visit To France During His Presidency.

On Friday, President Joe Biden compared the threats posed by Hitler to Europe in the 1940s to the threats facing the world today by dictators . He also said, “The Army Rangers who fought that day would want Americans to defend freedom.” ( Reuters, John Mason, June 8, 2024). President Biden is a gold star family member who lost his son Beau to brain cancer caused by burn pit fumes while serving in Afghanistan. Biden genuinely reveres all American veterans, living and dead, and refers to them as heroes and patriots.

President Biden appeared with President Zelensky at the ceremonies to highlight the efforts Ukraine is making to protect both his country and all of Europe from Vladimir Putin’s effort to invade sovereign countries. Biden made clear what Putin is doing in Ukraine mirrors what Hitler was doing in the 1940s in Europe. Putin, Donald Trump’s ideological mentor, is hoping for a Trump win so America will stop giving support to Ukraine and will take a non-existent role in fighting to defend democracies around the world.

President Zelensky embraced a 98 yr-old D- Day veteran and thanked him for fighting all those years ago to protect Europe. The veteran touched Zelenshy’s arm and said, ” Thank you for protecting Europe.” The isolationist ideology of Donald Trump and American embarrassments like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene share none of those sentiments about saving democracies. Additionally, President Biden apologized to Zelensky for the delay in getting aid to his country. He also promised that America will never walk away from helping Ukraine keep their democracy.

When compared to each other’s show of respect for veterans who served and died protecting our democracy, President Joe Biden wins. Biden has shown compassion and respect for veterans, and Donald Trump has demonstrated more unrivaled disrespect for them than any former US President. Trump uses gimmicks and photo ops to sound like he cares about and admires veterans. He hugs the flag, uses the military as a visual prop to make himself look strong, and threatens to use the military to assault peaceful protesters unconstitutionally. He is a former draft dodger who claimed bone spurs made him ineligible to serve.  However, many veterans have publicly said they had bone spurs and didn’t use them as an excuse to avoid service. 

What is wrong with those young soccer moms and men who dress up in militia gear and jump up and down at rallies for Trump like giddy teens at a concert? By worshipping a man who disrespects war heroes, dead and alive,  they are demonstrating ignorance about what authentic democracy means. General John Kelly, a conservative Republican, heard him say those words. Most of Trump’s most vigorous opponents during and after his presidency are lifelong, conservative members of the Republican party.

Trump’s former generals warn America that Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-chief. Each general report they tried to control Trump’s potentially dangerous impulses regarding the use of military force. THE REALITY IS TRUMP IS A PERFORMER, A FORMER REALITY TV STAR, AND HUCKSTER WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO MAKE COMPETENT MILITARY DECISIONS, UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OR PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM HARM. #trumpfelon #magadefeat #bidenwins
