   10,000 veterans expected but only 4,000 showed up according to reports, what does that tell you?: I’m not sure why a treacherous, cowardly, yellow draft dodger like Mr. Trump who avoided serving our country would expect our brave military veterans, courageous men and women who he disrespects and disparages every chance he gets, to show up for one of his pathetic, bizarre dismantle the USA clown show hate speeches but he held the event in Missouri on July 24, 2018 anyway: Press reports indicate the venue had to be downsized to a smaller space and he still failed to fill it with empty seats everywhere: Trump insanely disrespects our military heroes, sympathizes with our arch enemies including white nationalists / Nazis who these very same veterans fought to eradicate in the 1940’s, do you believe veterans have finally had enough of Mr. Trump and why on Earth would he expect them to show up for one of his pathetic bash the USA disgraces?

      How could anyone possibly be surprised that our brave veterans of foreign wars just like patriotic women of the USA, are dumping Trump the Clown by the droves? Downsized venues appear to be the new norm for a traitor who actually said 'he likes people who weren't captured' and makes a jackass out of himself by insulting one our greatest war time veterans of all time, Senator John McCain: Despicable and Unacceptable:
      
      Astonishing FACTS from the Kansas City Star:
      
      "Trump was expected to speak at Municipal Auditorium at the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ national convention, which is expected to draw about 10,000 VFW and VFW Auxiliary delegates. The speech was initially planned for the Kansas City Convention Center but later moved to the auditorium.":
      
      Only 4,000 showed up, 60% LESS than anticipated:

         One should not be surprised.  There is a tremendous amount of hate speech denigrating our president out there and veterans are no less gullible than other people.  Some of them will believe the garbage being said without ever checking the source or the actual facts.  Some believe simply because nasty adjectives are thrown about as if they were true!  Why, some even believe because others, failing to produce anything of real value, resort to name calling to make their "point".  (Hard to believe, but even harder to believe is that some actually think those loaded words,  gross exaggerations and childish name calling make their statement more believable somehow!)

            Normal, emotionally sound Americans and global citizens have every right to HATE Bozo Trump and they should: He's nothing but a sick, sinister dark elderly man who is trying desperately to destroy our NATO alliance which keeps this country safe, sabotage our healthcare system to the point where our children will not have access to comprehensive medical care unlike his lovely little grand daughter Melania was afforded when she was iLL recently, and he's an idiot who is intentionally undermining our law enforcement agencies for God knows what reason while Vladimir Putin smirks:
            
            Those are just a few reasons of many Americans must hate Mr. Trump and take action at the election booth against Mr. Trump and his Russian controlled republican congress-persons::

                  It's a normal reaction for a healthy individual including our veterans to hate a dark person like Mr. Trump who gave trillions away to Wall Street elitists with the help of his Russian republican congress-persons and insulted a war hero like John McCain while at the same time he's desperately trying to take away children's health insurance which provides them with essential health care:
                  
                  Americans MUST hate a dark force like this if they are to ultimately prevail over evil and salvage whats left of the USA::

                     Always sad, isn't it, when otherwise healthy people descend into the black pit of hatred to the point that their whole life revolves around spreading that dark and unhealthy emotion to everyone they can.  Emotionally healthy people do not allow those kinds of negative feelings to control them and they certainly do not encourage others to join them in the descent; they don't even allow them to exist let alone try to spread them to others.
                     
                     There IS help available, you know, beginning with a strong effort and reliance on your own personal ability to reason and be honest with yourself.  If the hatred hasn't already destroyed those things already, anyway.

                        An evil named Trump which has convinced a tiny minority of gullible voters that when he takes away their health insurance leaving their children WITHOUT comprehensive medical attention that atrocious act is somehow a good thing, if he destroys our NATO alliance leaving us even less safe, that would also somehow be a good thing, when he acts like a mentally unhinged jackass and insults brave war heroes like John McCain that is also a good thing and giving trillions to Wall Street elitists is also a good thing:
                        
                        Thank God our courageous veterans are finally seeing right through Bozo Trump's facade:

                           Neither you nor anyone else will see "right through" anything at all until you can set aside your emotional disturbance, your intense hatred, and use your reason instead.  Only when that has been accomplished will truth be seen; until then all that you and others like you can see is your own black hatred.  Including the veterans that have closed their eyes and ears to the world outside of their hate.
                           
                           Work on it; I'm sure that with enough effort you can be successful.  If you care to, anyway - frankly you don't seem to care about anything but your own hatred at this point in your journey through life.

                              I'm not sure why you keep repeating yourself wilderness, but I've already listed just a few valid reasons why an intense hatred of Bozo Trump and his insane agenda is justified, warranted and must be practiced by the vast majority of Americans if we are to be successful in defeating his atrocious tenure early:

                                 But there are no "valid" reasons for "intense hatred" of anyone at all.  That's what I've been telling you, but am unable to break through the black emotions you grow and foster within yourself.  When you have rid yourself of those, and reverted to reason rather than emotion to make decisions (if you ever did), you will see far more clearly.  As is, everything you see, every decision you make and conclusion you form, is clouded and twisted by the dark clouds you permit to exist inside you.

                                    A normal, rational human being would tend to hate a mentally disturbed megalomaniac like Mr. Trump who is desperately trying to sabotage children's healthcare in America, or for his verbal and tweet insults of great American war veteran heroes like Senator John McCain, or for unconscionably caging innocent children:

               It's the same for Trump controversy fuel his energy. I choose more so to ignore him so he looses energy. Instead of making everyone else looks like an assh*le in dealing with him. Leave him alone then,  clearly everyone  see who the real assh*les is.

                  Zero comparison between Ronald Reagan and a dangerous, mentally ill charlatan like Bozo Trump:
                  
                  It's impossible to ignore a malicious individual like Donald when he's trying to steal everything you've worked for, or sabotaging your children's healthcare, or unilaterally tearing up regulations that once protected the planet and our health, or committing treason by betraying our nation on national television as he did just weeks ago in Helsinki:
                  
                  If you're not obstructing Bozo Trump's crazy Russian approved agenda, an agenda which obviously includes degrading great American heroes like John McCain and our law enforcement, and if you fail to speak out against his atrocious actions which are systematically destroying this once great country, by default, you're enabling him

                  Castlepaloma: Today, believe it or not, in what appears to be another alarming blatant act of self absorbed insanity with ZERO regard for the American people, Bozo Trump just made the USA significantly more UNSAFE by revoking the security clearance of a great patriot of our law enforcement, Intelligence Chief John Brennon who was working covertly for decades to keep this country safe from the likes of Russian spies while Bozo Trump was probably plotting his Trump University scam, snickering about evading the military draft because his feet hurt and experimenting with propecia:
                  
                  Really, still think it's a wise, prudent idea to simply ignore Bozo Trump?

   Military Leaders Unite Against Donald Trump calling him out for his blatant lies, baseless assertions, and unprecedented incompetence: If we didn't believe he'll soon be imprisoned for his crimes if we still have laws, we'd have to ask the following question "How profound of a venue downsizing will need to occur the next time Mr. Trump tries to visit our great veterans of foreign wars with his anti-American hate filled circus clown show?" 
   
   "Architect of bin Laden raid issues stunning rebuke of Trump"
   
   "Washington (CNN)Retired Adm. William McRaven, the man who oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden, issued a stunning rebuke of President Donald Trump's decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan on Thursday, defending the former spy chief as "one of the finest public servants I have ever known."
   
   "Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don't know him,"
   
   "Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency,"
   
   "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation,"
   
   "If you think for a moment that your McCarthy-era tactics will suppress the voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken. The criticism will continue until you become the leader we prayed you would be," he added."

      In between hissy fits on twitter, phony NAFTA deals and trying to figure out which enemy country to flee to after he's indicted either Russia or Syria, I hope Donald Trump doesn't waste time wondering why veterans can't stand him:

      WHY on Earth was this foul decision made ?? Looks like just another  reason why veterans seem to be dumping Trump by the droves and can you honestly blame them after he insulted great American hero John McCain on national television ??:
      
      Sitting around on a couch or at his desk or on air force one or lounging around on a bed yelling and screaming at his little twitter machine, or on television blabbering profusely about our military, intelligence agencies while inserting a wedge between us and our once close allies but no time to visit our fallen heroes ?? REALLY ?? I wonder WHY ??
      
      The ONLY demonic person on this planet that I can think of who could possibly be delighted with this un-patriotic gesture is Vladimir Putin:
