When Trump was in Normandy France, he canceled his visit to a war memorial cemetery. Snubbing Europe's leaders and showing a huge disrespect for the blood that was spilt by Canadian, European and US soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. Trump has no interest in showing respect for the common bond that was formed between Europe and America. A bond formed with the sacrifice of human life. A bond formed to free the world from Fascism, and sacrifices made to give us the freedoms we still enjoy 75 years later. If Trump has no respect for this, why would his supporters show respect for the sacrifices made. When Hillary said they were a basket of deplorables she was not insulting them. She was understating what they stood for.
. . . it wasn't JUST America that defeated the Nazi's
Very true.
The Russians deserve most of the credit for that.
@RoboGraham True...to the detriment of many Europeans!
Those unfortunate people had two brutal dictators fighting over their land. What terrible situation they were in.
My family fled from Hungary to escape Russian revenge. They were ethnic Germans. They immigrated here to the states to put an ocean between them and the Soviets.
@RoboGraham And millions were denied that escape route. Your family was lucky! Those who were left behind had a very different life.
Absolutely. My grandmother knew people who were sent to gulags and never heard from again.
@RoboGraham I know some Estonians who literally smuggled themselves out of the country in a card loaded with animal dung!
Desperate times call for Desperate measures.
Because they love perpetuating the garbage myths?
