Why Does He Hate War Heroes?

Last weekend, Trump threatened to send the military to Baltimore after popular Maryland governor Wes Moore invited him in to join him on a friendly walk through the streets of Baltimore to show him how safe it is. Trump cried that the offer had “a rather nasty and provocative tone.”

Then Trump wrote that

“I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink this decision???”

Federal funds supported the rebuilding of Baltimore’s Key Bridge, which collapsed after a container ship hit it on March 26, 2024 which stopped operations at one of the busiest ports in the nation.

Trump then slandered Moore, who served in Afghanistan and received a Bronze Star, awarded for acts of valor in combat, had lied about getting a Bronze Star.

Moore responded:

“President Bone Spurs will do anything to get out of walking—even if that means spouting off more lies about the progress we’re making on public safety in Maryland. Hey Donald, we can get you a golf cart if that makes things easier. Just let my team know.” He added: “Did Donald Trump, the President of the United States, lie about an injury to dodge the Vietnam draft?”

The AI feature of X, called “Grok,” helpfully added:

“Trump received four student deferments during the Vietnam era, followed by a 1968 medical deferment for bone spurs in his heels, per official records. The diagnosing doctor’s daughters later claimed it was a favor to Trump’s father, with no actual spurs. [Trump fixer] Michael Cohen testified Trump admitted faking it.
