Trump criticized Admiral William McRaven for not getting Bin Laden sooner, McRaven responded with a crushing statement against Trump.

Transcript of Trump’s comments about Adm. McRaven on Fox News Sunday:

WALLACE: Who led the operations, commanded the operations that took down Saddam Hussein and that killed Osama bin Laden says that your sentiment is the greatest threat to democracy in his lifetime.

Trump Who Is “Too Busy” To Visit The Troops Just Got Smacked Down

Trump claimed in the same Fox News Sunday interview that he has been “too busy” to visit the troops, while he attacked the admiral who organized the raid against Bin Laden. Trump also tried to pick a fight with Adam Schiff that backfired completely and has proven that he is coming unglued and can’t even be trusted to go on friendly Fox News without falling apart.

Donald Trump never served his country and continues who disrespect those who did and do serve our nation on a daily basis. When people mention the word treason when talking about Trump, this is the sort of behavior that they are referring to.

Admiral William McRaven deserves the thanks of a nation for his service, not the scorn of a born rich boy who needs to go back to his tacky gold plated penthouse and stop undermining the values of a nation.

McRaven was exactly right. Trump is a once in a lifetime threat to US democracy, who needs to be stopped immediately.
