Donald Trump Is Now 'America's No. 1 Traitor,' Says Veterans Group

Donald Trump has taken over from Benedict Arnold as “America’s number one traitor,” according to a group of veterans seeking to vote the president out of office this November.

“No one has betrayed those in uniform like Donald Trump,” said the voiceover in the latest ad released by the VoteVets organization on Friday.

The 65-second spot references Trump’s siding with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and his dismissal of reports that U.S. officials knew Russia allegedly paid Taliban members to kill American troops.

“This July Fourth, Benedict Arnold can step aside, because Benedict Donald is America’s number one traitor,” the voiceover concluded.

he keep getting away with crap like that? I suppose we may find out he hasn't, but it will be hard to tell. This Russian bounty thing will get most of the credit if he loses massive military and veteran support.

They announced a thousand dollar bonus at the first of the year at the blood center I worked for once. Believe it or not, we actually had people flip out over having taxes taken out of it. I can only imagine what would have happened if they said we were getting a 10% bump that we never saw.

If I'm even told to expect a $20 gift card as a thanks from the boss, you can be sure I'm keeping an eye out for it.

Who would believe that lie about a 10% military raise, since anyone in the military, and their friends and family, would know it didn't happen?

Following Khizr Kahn's speech at the Democratic Party convention in Philadelphia in July 2016.

I've been puzzled for four years now about why ONE military or veteran would support Mango Mussolini.
