Obama vs. Trump In Two Pictures: If One Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words, Are Two Pictures Worth Two Thousand Words?

[MementoMori_]

1. Obama has US Marine hold umbrellas for him.2. President Trump picks up the cap from the ground, that has blown off the head of of a US Marine who is guarding his helicopter in the high wind, and respectfully places it on his head.

[madhatters4]

trump is such a patriot helping someone with their hat meanwhile insulting gold star parents, belittling POWs while he did the most cowardly thing one can do by deferring from military service in Vietnam due to "weak ankles" while calling himself the most physically fit president ever.

Yet you didn't post any of these.

[madhatters4]

IF trump is so great you shouldn't need to cherry pick photos of umbrella holding to prove it. again... can we please be better

[MementoMori_]

I think I made my point. All your angry rants don't change that. Democrats should be renamed the sore loser party. Or maybe just loser is more accurate.

[madhatters4]

don't know what angry rant you are talking about. but you can perceive it as anger any way you want snowflake.

if by making your point you mean that you will acknowledge anything that is self serving and disregard the rest then yes your point has been made

[MementoMori_]

I take it you weren't a very good student in your youth. You fail to grasp the proper essence of a lesson even when it is right in front of your face.

[madhatters4]

no i just refuse to trade rational thought and analysis for self serving ignorance

[ladsin]

Lol no. I don’t particularly like either president, but if you want to talk about president Trump loving our troops I’ll point you to his insinuation about our POWs.

[Soteris]

"He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured." - Donald Trump

[ladsin]

@Soteris yeah. Talk to military personnel and see if they think that’s respectful.

There’s a reason the POW flag always flies.

[OlderAndWiser]

he·ro
1. a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

I think that it was stupid for Trump to make that comment, but. . . how does being taken prisoner automatically make you a hero? It may be that, while held as a prisoner, that you do things which illustrate courage or nobility, but the enemy does not refuse to capture people who are not courageous. They capture those who are courageous as well as those who aren't.

[ladsin]

@OlderAndWiser hey. If you agree that our POWs and our MIA aren’t heroes more power to you bud. You probably think that nothing can be said about a group of people as a whole because there surely will be outliers.

“Cops enforce the law” “not all police officers enforce the law.”

[Soteris]

@OlderAndWiser The point was not really him being captured but his actions and behavior while being a captive. This is not limited to enduring years of brutal imprisonment and torture but also rejecting the option of being let free due to his fathers position where he refused to be separated from the other prisoners.

If that does not take courage and display noble qualities then you need to explain that to me.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Soteris ALL that I said was that 1. being captured, by itself, does not make a person a hero, and 2. it was a stupid comment for Trump to make. I did not intend more than what I actually said.

[ladsin]

@OlderAndWiser I agree take down the POW flag!

[ladsin]

@OlderAndWiser to be more serious though. I’ll tel you a secret. Once I accidentally took down the POW flag due to a lack of paying attention. I was berated by multipleilitary personnel and described as someone who hated America and was spitting on the graves of our lost.

My point here was that the military personnel I know would’ve been far more upset about this statement.

[OlderAndWiser]

If you have not previously heard me say this, I support most of Trump's agenda but I am not a fan of him as a person. I don't think that he is corrupt but I don't care for the bombastic ways and occasional buffoonery.

[ladsin]

@OlderAndWiser that’s a common theme with him. Many conservatives say they like his policies but not his rhetoric (ie Shapiro)

And my point was that if were going to talk about who’s disrespecting our troops I think President Trump would have some things to answer for. That was the point of my response although I apparently didn’t get it across that well.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't think that Trump is disrespectful of our troops. The animosity between him and McCain is distinct and I don't think it is based in disrespect for our troops.

[MementoMori_]

@OlderAndWiser

Yes, President Trump has a strong personality. Love it or hate it, either way is understandable. But if you want to make an omelette you have to crack a few eggs. HE GETS THINGS DONE!

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, I voted for him and I am satisfied with the results so far.

[MementoMori_]

@OlderAndWiser

"I don't think that Trump is disrespectful of our troops. The animosity between him and McCain is distinct and I don't think it is based in disrespect for our troops. "

Precisely! What liberals do is take a specific case and blow it up into a false generalization, and often about something completely unrelated. President Trump disliked McCain because of McCain's uncanny ability to screw up the Republican's agenda at the last minute. That DOES NOT mean his disrespects the US Military.

[ladsin]

His statement wasn’t “senator McCain is a bad republican because he often doesn’t hold to republican ideals” his statement rather, as pointed out already was, "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured.”

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, I know what he said. Neither of them were direct about their conflict.

[MementoMori_]

"He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured.”

An extemporaneous poor attempt at humor that President Trump clearly does not believe. Of course none of us have ever made such a regrettable mistake. You are talking about the man who repatriated the remains of Korean War veterans after all previous presidents failed.

[Soteris]

Its not the first time North Korea has sent remains of US soldiers. To start with its believed that over 5000 remains are still scattered around North Korea so getting back 55, some of which is not American in the first place, is not a breakthrough in the process. In fact the first repatriation came in 1990, a second came in 1991 and so on. By 1996 USA had already received 208 body bags. In fact for a long time USA was even allowed to send people over to North Korea to recover bodies on their own.

Trump has done very little but boasts the most about it. Very respectful to the dead I must admit.

[ladsin]

@Soteris agreed

[BrittBratt2416]

I would say you obviously picked a picture to make trump look like the better person than obama cause your bias or already prefer trump anyway.

[Trollfather]

Bias aside, Obama is a CIA agent, while Trump appears to be real

Whether you agree or not

[BrittBratt2416]

@Trollfather That's still bias.

[Rissyanne]

This is just more proof that obama is a piece of shit.

[MikeAndMolly]

Oh, oh my god, is this a generally pro trump part of the internet?

What sort of horrible nightmare-scape have I stumbled upon?

Augh, I need a drink.

[Trollfather]

Problem?

[Soteris]

I would tend to agree. The Marines showed way more respect to Obama than to Trump and I dont really know how "respectful" that was by Trump either.

[Rissyanne]

You need to lay off that weed

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Oh?

[Rissyanne]

Obama hates the military. They love Trump.

[Rissyanne]

https://youtu.be/ssHE1yvrCag

He had to be told to salute the marine

[Rissyanne]

My nephew in the navy worked in the White House obama was in... they didn’t like him. I know this first hand

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Yes.. The military sure loves Trump with their 44% approval rating.

[Rissyanne]

and you liberals were sure Hillary was going to win. Like I said I know first hand how they felt about that piece of shit Obama

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Language young lady. Honestly though I am impressed how you know each and every one in the military.

[Rissyanne]

And you know them all?

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne No but at least its possible to poll them.

[Rissyanne]

Yeah like the polls said Hillary was going to win lol

[Rissyanne]

And if thought the military wanted Hillary to win you are crazy. She hated the military and the police... like liberals do.

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Yeah... one presidential election and suddenly we must upturn a mathematical and political science that has existed since ancient times. No wonder USA is fuckt with people like you living there.

[Rissyanne]

Dude seek help

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Go back to school... Or hell, maybe you never went there in the first place?

[Rissyanne]

Typical liberal

[Rissyanne]

Are you going to threaten me now? Isn’t that in the liberals handbook?

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne... I was being serious actually. You lack some pretty fundamental knowledge regarding math that even children have a good grasp on.

[Rissyanne]

More insults... typical liberal

[Rissyanne]

You don’t realize how much you help Trump lol

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne If I help Trump or not is none of my concern. First of all I am Swedish and secondly I believe the success of Trump will be the undoing of the Republican party. The more success he has and the more they invest into him the worse the backlash will be. Even beyond that I have made investments in preparation of the coming economic crisis triggered by Trump so not only will I get bank from it I will even laugh all the way there because this is truly hilarious.

[Rissyanne]

The only thing that is hilarious is liberals.

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne In that case you have a very poor sense of humor.

[Rissyanne]

I laugh at you liberals every day. When you have leading democrats like Pelosi and Waters... I can’t help but laugh

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne As opposed to leading Republicans like Ted Cruise?

[Rissyanne]

You have got to be kidding me. Ted Cruz is a decent man. What I want to know is what idiots voted Pelosi and Waters in.

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne AHAHAHA! Ted Cruz is a decent man she says? OH MY GAWD! That is the funniest thing I heard today by FAR!

Should we go back and recall what Donald Trump said about him?

[Rissyanne]

Do you want to recall what obama said about Hillary during the primaries? Do you want to recall what Hillary did to Bernie? Then Bernie endorsed that criminal.

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Better than Ted Cruz literally bowing his head and endorsing someone who literally went after his wife and family.

If you want one of the most pathetic pictures of a US politician in history then here you go, Ted Cruz phone banking for Donald Trump after getting whipped:
i.amz.mshcdn.com/.../...F238929%2Fv36187itlwpx.jpg

[Rissyanne]

That is your opinion. What is pathetic is Bernie taking it up the butt from Hillary and the DNC then he turned around and smiled at them. But you libs are used to taking up the butt aren’t you.

[Rissyanne]

Actually I find you quite entertaining. You talk all this shit and you will never ever be able to vote. Ha ha

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Yes.. My opinion.. I mean its very easy to form a bad opinion of someone who betrays their family and friends. Let me remind you that Trump accused Ted Cruz father of the JFK assassination, insulted his wife's appearance not to mention all the horrible things he said about Ted himself.. And here he is kissing Donald Trump's ass:
i.amz.mshcdn.com/.../...F238929%2Fv36187itlwpx.jpg

Its almost poetic how pathetic he is.

[Rissyanne]

You must have a hard on for Ted Cruz... you keep posting that picture.

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne Since you insist.
i.amz.mshcdn.com/.../...F238929%2Fv36187itlwpx.jpg

Just look at his expression. Such a brave leader of the Republican party going against all his morals and duties.

[Rissyanne]

I didn’t know you were gay

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne There is a lot you dont know about me. Like whether or not I got this image as my desktop background so I can strategically place the trashcan over Ted's forehead.

i.amz.mshcdn.com/.../...F238929%2Fv36187itlwpx.jpg

[Rissyanne]

If it turns you on..

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne You are 52. I am sure you have had to go to the next level quite a few times to spice things up.

[Rissyanne]

I’m sure you have plenty of time to jerk off to Cruz living in your parents basement

[Rissyanne]

I’m bored now... muting

[Soteris]

@Rissyanne You really do have a terrible habit of double posting..

[JackJPershing]

Well two different situations, but the fact that Trump went and grabbed the cover for an African-American LCpl kind of blows the entire "racist" theme.

[madhatters4]

right and slave owners gave their slaves clothes and food so they couldn't have possibly been racist

[Iron_Man]

Donald Trump's being courteous these pictures have nothing to do with anything Donald Trump's the man

Obama didn't mind the rain 🌧️☔ shrug.

I'm not an American / Americano - shrug

[Skullcap16]

Definitely because trumps the best

[jon28805]

Trump is a jackass.

[Trollfather]

Poor snowflake, can't handle the red pills?

[Rissyanne]

Obama is a piece of shit
