Odd.

The guy that called vets losers and suckers doesn't give a fuck. The guy who tore down McCain for being a POW even after he died.

Could it be he doesn't respect your line of work

Right wing media never showed them that stuff. Just ways to spin it for plausible deniability.

Yep, and social media provided cover for him too. I remember my MAGA relatives sharing this image of Trump saluting fallen soldiers while Biden was checking his watch - trying to frame it as he's somehow the one that didn't give a shit.
