A lot of people are speculating on why Trump attacked and continues to attack Myeshia Johnson...
- He is a Racist. People point out the only other Gold Star family he attacked was also of color.
- He is a misogynist and attacks women on a personal level, never a professional one.
- He was counter punching and felt attacked when the reporter asked why he had not yet said anything about the soldiers killed in Niger (12 days prior).
I think there all wrong, or rather partly wrong. There should be no doubt by this point that he is a racist and a misogynist, nor that he hits back when he thinks he is attacked.
However from what I have seen the thing that Trump is most about and considers most sacred is ego and winning. Everything he does is always the best and greatest ever. He considers himself a winner.
He respects winners. and those he thinks are losers are beneath him and should just shut up.
I think because he was able to dodge the draft that he feels anyone who serves is a loser who was unable to get out of it.
Think about his history with Vets.
- Attacks McCain for getting captured
- Attacks the Khan family on the campaign trail
- Attacks the grieving widow of a dead soldier, accusing her of lying about what he said.
- Defrauds Vet charities he raised money for during the campaign by not paying them until the media calls him on it.
- Despite tweeting about virtually anything he never utters a word about soldiers who die unless first asked about it, whether the latest bit in Nigers, the sailors who died in ship accidents or the raid in Yemen.
- His speeches, whether at memorials like the CIA or the graduation commencement at the Coast Guard. He will talk at length about how powerful the military is because he considers it an extension of his will and power, But only talks in offhanded ways about dedication.
Seems pretty clear that the rel reason is so down on veterans is he thinks we are losers.
