In light of the probably true allegations about Trump pissing on dead and wounded soldiers and in general dissing the entire membership in the military family, this is hardly surprising. The rich -- the kind represented by the DeJoy's and the Trumps -- think money is for buying things like silence, like "honors", like "love" -- which they see as a business transaction, just ask Melania and Marla and Ivanka -- like reputation and glory.

(Still haven't heard the deal Tiffany cut with Donald to make that god-awful speech at the RNC. I'm sure it involved a little vigorish from the dwindling Trump bank account. Interesting sidelight: he threatened to cut Tiff off from any money, even the pennies he was providing for her upkeep, if she enlisted in the military. Rachel pointed this out and it made me wonder if Tiff was even considering the military. Probably not, and it was probably just another example of Trump's not mere disrespect but actual loathing for military people.
