Trump doesn't really respect members of the military. He uses them as props. - Business Insider

Ther latest examples of Trump's exploiting the military for his political benefit came at theTrump addressed Army Staff Sgt. Christopher Hake's widow, Kelli, relaying heartbreaking words from a letter Hake wrote to his then 1-year-old son, Gage, while on deployment to Iraq in 2008.Trump told Kelli and Gage: "Chris will live in our hearts forever. He is looking down on you now. Thank you." That received thunderous applause from the chamber of a joint session of Congress.

Minutes later, Trump used another military family as a prop, this time pulling an Oprah-style stunt where he surprised Sgt. 1st Class Townsend Williams' wife and children with the news that he was not only back from a deployment to Afghanistan — he was in the building and ready for an on-camera reunion.

To recap: Trump used a Gold Star family as a prop to boast about an assassination that he ordered, then followed it up by using another family in a made-for-TV stunt to extol the sacrifices made by "extraordinary military families."

anthonyLfisher At some point the audience has to be blamed for continually allowing Trump to do that. If his own fans booed him at least once for this, he'd think about not using the military as a prop next time. But his own fans do not usually criticise him.

anthonyLfisher LOLOL business insider lately has been all over Democrats dicks. What happen to you? Triggered by the greatest president ever?

anthonyLfisher As long as he funds it, I guess.

anthonyLfisher I’d say this headline is accurate, however, 99.9% of all politicians are guilty of this. It’s just more repulsive when a spineless, draft dodger like Trump does it.

anthonyLfisher Correct. The man has no respect full stop.
