[BBC] Trump boy scout Jamboree speech angers parents

This is so very Trump:

New findings, for instance, show that the Trump Foundation’s largest-ever gift — $264,631 — was used to renovate a fountain outside the windows of Trump’s Plaza Hotel.

Its smallest-ever gift, for $7, was paid to the Boy Scouts in 1989, at a time when it cost $7 to register a new Scout. Trump’s oldest son was 11 at the time. Trump did not respond to a question about whether the money was paid to register him.

I stand corrected.

 

This is twice in a couple of weeks. Quit making me do your research for you!

 

I'll try to do better!

 

This dude is freaking mental. Trump is mentally unfit, unhinged, and weirdo level 12.

 

I had no idea it cost that much (eta: or the frequency or anything about it, really). I can totally understand the parents being superfly pissed off about Trump's inappropriateness and his overshadowing what should be an innocuous great time for all.

Last time Obama addressed it via video and it was a positive little talk geared for kids, not a damn low-rent Hitler Youth rally.

 

what does it say when shady members of the 1980s' CIA think it looked like a scene from a 3rd world country.

the equivalent would have been those " commie stomping hip hop obama youths groups" from back in the day, only obama comes out as the hypeman and begins blabbing:
"Senator Mccain, He's no war hero. He was captured. I like my heroes not captured. Palin, you got nailed by glen rice who nearly bankrupted great rockets owner Leslie Alexander. But let's not talk politics. Did you know Banks are taking advantage of the people who want be homeowners? Pelosi, you better get this done or else"

 

Our national embarassment continues. Let's all hope our government is strong enough to survive the wreckage of the next four years.

 

Holy crap. That's better than I remember, the minute Trump got off the stage they should have put that on the big screen.

 

Man, I'd pay anything to see Trump give a speech at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Just to hear him praise Jack Robertson for being the first really, really black baseball player, who played for the Manhattan Dodgers before they moved to San Diego, would be worth the price of admission.

 

And don't forget this:

the right-wing media and conservative figures were happy to jump all over Obama for his 2009 back-to-school speech that was optional for students and promoted ideas such as the importance of staying in school and listening to teachers.

“I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself,” Obama told students. “Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.” Republicans were not happy with that message.

“As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology,” said Jim Greer, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida. “It seems very close to indoctrination,” said Fox News Sean Hannity, who is now Trump’s No. 1 fan on television. Fox Nation suggested keeping kids home from school. Then-Oklahoma Senator Steve Russell, a Republican who now serves in the House of Representatives, said Obama was seemingly promoting himself by telling kids to work hard in school. “As far as I'm concerned this is not civics education—it gives the appearance of creating a cult of personality,” Russell said at the time.

 

Wow.

 

I hope these kids don't suffer any permanent damage

 

FakePgabriel, you have really sold your soul. Stop missing the point. His speech was completely inappropriate, and we're tired of Trump-fellating apologists like you constantly excusing his bad behavior just b/c it's Trump. **** that. Everyone should be called out if he or she ****s up- I have, and I admitted I was wrong. Trump should be held to the same standard- hell, he should be held to a higher standard.

But, FakePgabriel, you and RocketsLegend are now mere caricatures, so there's that.

 

I just love the Trump is trying to take over the world posts

 

Did those parents happen to vote for Hillary? Who cares about them. Let them whine till 2024.

More emotional liberals whining and crying. Nothing to see here folks.

 

Thank you for distilling the Trump ethos into under-140-characters.

The Boy Scouts and their families are notoriously hardcore urban liberals, glad you were here to expose that conspiracy.

Trump is Eric Cartman: "**** you, I do what I want."

 

Oh, pgab's account is not fake nor hacked, this started before his hiatus.

 

The ones mentioned in this article were your typical Trump haters. Uninformed, obnoxious and nasty.

2020 will be so easy.
