When a severely injured soldier, Luis Avila, sang at General Mark Milley’s welcome ceremony, a clearly annoyed Trump said to Milley — within earshot of plenty of bystanders — “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.” Hypocritically, he hugged the soldier for the cameras.
Later, he ordered Milley never to have the hero serviceman appear in public again.
Trump mocking Trump mocked Pulitzer-Prize winning New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has arthrogryposis.
This wouldn’t be believable if it weren’t for the fact that Trump has mocked the disabled, told organizers of a 2018 military parade that he wanted wounded veterans excluded because “Nobody wants to see that,’ and even said that late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who became disabled while a prisoner of war in Vietnam, was ‘not a war hero because he was captured.’
In happier news, Milley has invited Avila to sing at his retirement ceremony.
