Subject: John Kelley dumps on Trump
So, Trump is the guy that the self-styled patriots admire? What kind of insanity is that?

Let's take Kelly's statement from CNN, piece by piece.

'What can I add that has not already been said?' Kelly said, calling Trump a 'person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all 'suckers' because 'there is nothing in it for them.''

Kelly's reference to 'being tortured as POWs' is an obvious reference to the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), whose war-hero status Trump publicly cast doubt upon during the 2016 campaign, saying: 'I like people that weren't captured.'

But 'suckers' and 'there is nothing in it for them' ' in quotation marks ' refer to Jeffrey Goldberg's 2020 Atlantic piece. It quoted Trump using the former word to refer to the 1,800 Marines who died at Belleau Wood in France during World War I. It also quoted him saying something similar to the latter while standing next to the grave of Kelly's own son, who was killed in Afghanistan.

Trump is a soul-less narcissist for whom everything is transactional.
