"I like people that weren't caputred."

I wonder what he thinks of draft-dodging.

Very smart symbolism in play here which will not go unnoticed among Asia’s elites. On the eve of his visit to Asia, paying his respects at the grave of those who paid the ultimate price in defeating the despots of their day.

Is the word "exciting" one you really want to use when talking about visiting Pearl Harbor?

Pear Harbour is pretty moving, I must say. As is the Chiran Peace Museum. The tragedies of war.
This coming one will be the most devestating yet, with Trump and Kim increasing their infamy at the cost of our lives.

I totally agree.

"We weren't captured"
Dead souls at the Arizona Memorial.

President bone-spurs pretending to be a patriot. What else is new.
Jimizo
Perhaps the same thing he thinks about tax-dodging.
Smart?
Visiting memorials and firing off Twitter salvos against people who don’t stand for a song seem to be his idea of patriotism. His idea of sacrifice is being dragged away from moronic television.

Also agree that 'exciting' is a stupid word to use to describe a visit to Pearl Harbor. Dodgy Don certainly has problems expressing himself in normal English. Maybe he was thinking about the parasailing and golf he's going to squeeze in whilst in Hawaii.

I realize it is hip and cool to bash the President, but jobs, economy, stocks are all skyrocketing. Hard working American families overwhelmingly support him. Its the libs who are more concerned about social issues like men wearing bras and making sanctuaries for illegally entered criminals who do not like him.
you should bash the DNC. If the DNC had not rigged your primary Bernie would have beaten Trump by at least 20% according to polls

Great to finally see a president go to Hawaii and do something other than play golf.

The sailors of the USS Arizona gave their lives to protect our way of life based on the principals embedded in the Constitution. Seeing this draft dodger and traitor at one of America's most sacred shrines, makes me want to throw up.

He’s not the only president that draft dodged. Makes me proud that we finally have president that cares about our troops and the country. Good on you Mr. Trump.

Well, Trump is serving his country now as the POTUS, the highest position that any man could ever achieve, he’s made up for it big time. Just like Clinton did. Kudos!

Excited? So when's his tee time?

His first stop will be Japan and he will visit four more countries. Very busy schedule. As usually, US media is nitpicking before he is in destinations.

What an insult to the fallen.
A felon paying lip service to the fallen.
These poor souls are now crying in their graves.

I hope no POWs where there. Trump expressed his contempt for them
bass4funk
No, just for McCain.
SuperLib
Ah, just that one American soldier who was captured and tortured.
bass4funk
Yes, that particular Democrat.

"He's not a war hero...He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured"
Donald Trump on John McCain
"People" - plural. He's clearly talking about more than just one man who was captured.
bass4funk
You don't know that, he specifically singled out McCain.
SuperLib
I'm sure American POWs will understand that Trump was just talking about that one POW and not them.
